Wastewater Case Studies and Whitepapers

  1. Automotive Plant Wash Water Removes Cutting Fluid/Oil And Suspended Solids From Water 12/10/2019

    An automotive parts manufacturer producing millions of parts per year was seeking to remove cutting fluid/oil and suspended solids from water used in its parts-washing process to enable water recycling and reuse in the parts washer. Successful lab testing and trials enabled the system integrator to win the project and install full-scale systems utilizing PPG’s UF membrane element. Read the full case study to learn more.

  2. A More Cost-Effective Tool For Oxygen Injection Flow Measurement 4/23/2021

    Variable area (VA) flow meters offer an economical solution in many hazardous wastewater applications, as well as a variety of other uses, but are often overlooked by engineers and plant operators who think a higher level of flow measurement technology is necessary. 

  3. AMERICAN's Versatility Shines In Rocky Terrain 4/9/2015

    Murfreesboro, Tennessee, is the fastest growing city in Tennessee, and one of the fastest growing cities in the United States with its population more than doubling since 2000. To manage this growth, the city’s Water and Sewer Board recently embarked on an $8.2 million project to construct the Southwest Regional Force Main.

  4. Thermal Flow Meter Improves Digester Gas System Fueling Boilers For Plant Steam And Hot Water 12/19/2019

    Accurate, repeatable air/gas flow measurement under harsh outdoor conditions is essential to successful wastewater treatment operations when used in aeration or digester biogas applications. The challenge is that a relatively small number of flow meter technologies are capable of reliable measurement.

  5. A Time-Based Alternative To Multi-Stage Biological Nutrient Removal 6/6/2022

    A phase-activated sludge system (PASS) reduces energy consumption by combining the aerobic and anoxic tanks and alternating diffusers between the on and off position based on a preprogrammed schedule.

  6. WinCan Introduces Enterprise-Tier Solution 4/10/2023

    Innovative work order management and mapping capabilities give municipalities insights on sewer work and crew progress. 

  7. Automating Time-Consuming Water Quality Tests 4/5/2022

    Discover established and regulated methods to individually determine and mitigate copper, iron, silica, manganese, aluminum, calcium, and other analytes of interest in water.

  8. Cooling Towers Are Not The Problem — Or At Least They Don't Have To Be 5/8/2019

    Water quite literally flows through every facet of life, being the key element for everyone and everything on Earth. The world’s population is increasing at 1.1 percent (roughly 83 million) every year, an incredible and alarming rate straining the world’s fresh water supply. The increasing pressures between what humanity demands and what is currently available emphasizes the importance of conservation.

  9. Safe, Energy Efficient Disinfection For 45 MGD Combined Sewer WWTP Improves Water Quality 2/14/2017

    The Hudson River, in the Capital District of Albany, NY, is a popular recreational area for boating, swimming and fishing. Unfortunately combined sewer overflows following storm events and snow melt from sewer systems dating back to the 1800’s were causing increased fecal coliform counts which in turn resulted in health alerts and limited access to the river. After considering several alternatives, the Albany County Sewer District selected a Wedeco Duron 60i2-2.5X4, with high power Ecoray 600W lamps, for their disinfection system.

  10. EPA Researchers Are Providing Tools And Resources To Prepare Communities For Climate Change And Extreme Storms 4/27/2021

    Each season brings expected changes to the weather. But with climate change and the warming of the atmosphere, weather patterns are becoming less predictable with more heat waves, and increased severity of super- and local- storms.
