Wastewater Case Studies and Whitepapers

  1. Riviera Utilities WWTP Upgrades To State-Of-The-Art Aerobic Granular Sludge Technology 5/24/2021

    Instead of taking the traditional approach of adding an additional oxidation ditch to increase treatment capacity, Riviera Utilities had the desire to “future-proof” the plant and prepare to meet more stringent effluent requirements.

  2. Case Study: Online Colorimetric System For The Chemical Phosphate Precipitation Process Optimization 8/18/2009

    To optimize the chemical dosage to precipitate phosphates from waste- water, an orthophosphate ion analyzer is used, equipped with a reliable sampling system. By Endress+Hauser, Inc.

  3. Article: Expanded Use Of Split Seal Technology For Large Pumps And Agitators 12/28/2010
    New advances in split mechanical seals have expanded its application for use in both water and wastewater systems. These systems move vast amounts of fluid through pipes and tanks. Water-based fluid systems comprise the largest fluid transport systems in the world with wastewater streams being the largest. While the systems’ designs can vary by region, most use centrifugal pumps to move fluid. Many of the centrifugal pumps are very large and difficult to assemble, so they have not typically been sealed by mechanical seals which require total equipment disassembly. However, split mechanical seals have advanced so that these pumps can now be sealed without equipment disassembly.
  4. Pre-Filtration Is Essential To Protect Your Membranes 12/15/2016

    Any Reverse Osmosis System is only as good as the Pre-filtration System protecting it.  Pre-filtration is no place to scrimp when it comes to sizing, quality, efficiency and performance. 

  5. Optimizing Aeration Reliability In Food And Beverage Wastewater Applications 10/23/2019

    In addition to penalties for non-compliance, wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) operators in the food and beverage industry risk excessive losses caused by problems at the wastewater treatment facility.

  6. Florida County Aims for Full Usage Of Reclaimed Water 3/28/2017

    In 2016 Hillsborough County Public Utilities, a forward thinking organization, initiated the first direct potable reuse pilot project in Florida. In its efforts to utilize 100 percent of its reclaimed water, the progressive utility created a successful program to effectively suspend surface water discharges. The pilot project validated direct potable reuse, which is now a key initiative for many central Florida utilities due to the implementation of the Central Florida Water Initiative requiring the additional utilization of reuse water resources.

  7. Dual Parallel Lateral Filter Underdrains Selected To Replace Underperforming Nozzle Design At Mexico's Largest Drinking Water Treatment Plant 10/3/2018

    Located about 78 miles (125 kilometers) west of Mexico City lies the municipality of Villa de Allende, home of Mexico’s largest potable water treatment plant. The Los Berros water treatment plant was constructed in 1980 by the National Water Commission (Conagua), an agency of the Mexican government that manages the nation’s drinking water and wastewater treatment. The plant provides 396.3 million gal/day (1.5 billion L/day) of water to the country’s capital city, equivalent to approximately 25 percent of the total water supply of the western hemisphere’s most populace metropolitan area.

  8. Aire-O2's Cold Weather Legacy 11/24/2021

    Bose Cascade’s Ft. Frances, Ontario kraft mill operation faced a wastewater treatment problem due to dead spots in nearly half of its aerated stabilization basin. Newterra's Aire-O2 came to the rescue.

  9. Keeping The Operator In Focus: The Four Pillars Of Operator Effectiveness 8/2/2018

    This paper shows how the four pillars of operator effectiveness lead operators to greater awareness, faster response and better decisions.

  10. Salt Lake City Airport Construction Project – Keeping The Water Clean 5/2/2023

    Learn about the solutions that have been integral to ground and storm water management for a number of large, highly complex projects at Salt Lake City International Airport.
