Wastewater Case Studies and Whitepapers

81. Flow Meter Selection 101: Not All Flows Are The Same 8/24/2017

    Flow measurement is critical to effective process control and management, whether for municipal or industrial uses. Before you purchase a flow meter, there are a lot of factors to consider. Be sure to answer these questions before deciding on the type of meter to install.

82. Cost-Effective Sludge Thickening Processor Using MBR Membrane Bioreactor 4/15/2020

    The Toray MBR modules helped a local utility achieve their goals of conserving water and meeting the Regional Water Quality Control Board's effluent standards (Title 22), so the reclaimed water can be used for irrigation and other reuse applications. 

83. Wedeco Duron UV System Delivers Sustainable Disinfection Solution For Beaver Creek WWTP 6/7/2023

    Read about a utility that sought alternate disinfection process options to replace equipment that had reached the end of life. 

84. How To Optimize Your Grinder 7/2/2024

    While grinders have a reputation for being an install-and-forget technology, they can still be optimized and maintained for peak performance.

85. Low-Fouling RO Tech Keeps Replacement Costs Down At Wastewater Reuse Plants 4/17/2020

    By using Toray's low-fouling polyamide composite membranes, the WTPs at the AMATA estates operated the RO systems for more than five years before requiring replacement of the RO elements. This low rate of replacement has considerably helped the end-user save operational and capital costs and is noted as one of the most successful wastewater reuse plants in Thailand.

86. Reconditioned And Rehabbed Filters Succeed At Large Treatment Plant 6/14/2019

    A large treatment plant includes several treatment processes that contribute to providing quality recycled water pursuant to the state of California Title 22 regulations. Major treatment processes include raw wastewater pumping, preliminary treatment, primary treatment, secondary treatment, tertiary treatment with Parkson DynaSand® filters, and disinfection.

87. A Natural Approach To Algae Treatment And Prevention 2/5/2021

    Operators of lakes, rivers, reservoirs, and other waterbodies commonly introduce harmful chemicals and other compounds — such as antibacterials and bleach — in an attempt to rid the water of problems such as algae and toxins. However, with beneficial bacteria it is possible to achieve a balance in water or discharge by reducing phosphorus and other key parameters naturally, thereby eliminating or drastically reducing the food source for algae.

88. Self-Cleaning Trashracks Offer Flow Protection For High Volumes And A Wide Variety Of Debris 6/2/2022

    A self-cleaning trashrack can save time, money, and labor over manual cleaning and third-party cleaning machines, all while ensuring a continuous flow of water with minimal debris.

89. AquaDisk® Filters Reduce TSS And NTU For Power Plant Process Water 4/6/2020

    Shepard Energy Centre (owned by Enmax and Capital Power Corporation) is located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. It began operating in March 2015 and is capable of generating over 800 megawatts of electricity to Alberta residents using natural gas. The facility utilizes (2) combustion turbines featuring a combinedcycle technology to generate electricity, and in addition, processes waste heat through a steam turbine to produce even more electricity. This electricity generation process makes Shepard approximately 30% more efficient than traditional coal-fired plants, and reduces overall fuel costs. Not only is Shepard’s plant more efficient, but better for the environment by emitting less than half of the CO2 emmissions per megawatt hour compared to a coal generated facility. Sulphur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide emissions are also reduced.

90. Ultrapure Water In Semiconductor Plants 2/20/2018

    In the semiconductor industry, ultrapure water usage can be in order of 2 to 4 million gallons a day. The entire ultrapure water treatment process is comprised of two segments: makeup water and a high-purity water loop.
