Wastewater Case Studies and Whitepapers

  1. Xylem Factory Recycles 100% Of Its Process Water 5/18/2023

    By leveraging natural surroundings, Xylem’s manufacturing facility in Emmaboda, Sweden, can recycle 100% of the plant’s process wastewater with its new water treatment. The plant helps ensure a continuous supply of safe water, even in times of water scarcity, using Xylem’s water reuse technologies.

  2. Protecting Wastewater Treatment Equipment And Improving The Bottom Line With Septage Receiving Stations 6/26/2023

    Learn about a solution that employs a combination of grinding, solids removal, washing, and dewatering, and enables a typical septage truck to unload in 5 to 15 minutes. 

  3. WEDECO UV Disinfection Produces Highly Purified Water In Silicon Valley 5/7/2015

    The Santa Clara Valley Water District in San Jose, CA, required additional water supplies to maintain regional economic vitality for its growing community. 

  4. RO Membranes' Protection at Aquapolo Ambiental Water Reuse Project, Brazil 8/16/2024

    Discover how Aquapolo Ambiental tackled RO membrane biofouling with HOD™ UV technology, achieving 30-35% longer membrane life, reduced chemical use, and enhanced water reuse efficiency.

  5. Solving Foaming Problems At Your WWTP 3/1/2015

    This project provides an unusual "before-and-after" comparison of how a high-solids loaded digester system with a Rotamix mixing system performed before and after the Foambuster was installed.

  6. Bowling Green Municipal Utilities (BGMU) Uses One Of The Country's Largest SBR Systems To Meet Current And Future Permit Limits And Environmental Goals 5/5/2017

    Bowling Green Municipal Utilities (BGMU) provides commercial water and wastewater treatment and electrical power services to a population of more than 60,000 in the community of Bowling Green, KY. In 2010, the BGMU wastewater treatment plant was approaching the end of its useful life, just as the utility’s operating permit was up for renewal.

  7. Aerobic Granular Sludge System Reduces Energy Up To 50% When Compared To Conventional Activated Sludge Systems 2/1/2017

    The AquaNereda® Aerobic Granular Sludge System (AGS) is an innovative biological wastewater treatment technology that provides advanced treatment using the unique features of aerobic granular biomass. This advanced nutrient removal process can reduce footprint up to 75% and energy up to 50% when compared to conventional activated sludge systems.

  8. A New Era In Blower Control Efficiency 10/10/2019

    A common misconception among wastewater plant managers is that pressure-based blower controls remain an industry “best practice” for aeration. The problem is this approach was developed during an age when most blowers were constant speed machines with outputs that could only be governed by the manipulation of inlet valve position or header pressure. Newer self-tuning, airflow-based control systems save energy, improve effluent, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

  9. Bar Screen Capture Rates: It's Not So Simple 2/19/2019

    The water industry has made progress in developing numerical values for screen-capture ratings under specific conditions. One such example is the UK Water Industry Research (UK WIR) standard. Its methodology is sound in measuring capture rate for a specific screen in a channel for a specific time and set of conditions. However, the measurements provided in these studies cannot be assumed to represent the performance of that screen in any other wastewater treatment plant or even in the same channel in a different time or season. 

  10. TASKMASTER Aids In Biomass Research 12/10/2020

    At CRBM Marine Biology Research Center in Quebec, Canada, researchers were in search of a grinder for a project involving marine biomass. A big part of this research project was focused on finding and extracting marine molecules that could fight against major diseases such as cancer (breast, lung, prostatic and intestinal). For the research, marine materials such as hard shells, lobster pieces, stretchable fish skin and even large and resistant seaweed needed to be ground to a homogeneous size so the research elements could be effectively extracted from the material. Getting the output size right was imperative to having a workable material for the very delicate extractions and research.
