Wastewater Case Studies and Whitepapers

  1. Sydney Water Trial Project Using Low Voltage Conductivity To Assess Sewer Pipe Water Tightness 6/22/2021

    Worldwide water utilities and smart cities are adopting new technologies to replace legacy technologies that have been the mainstay to assess existing pipe conditions and accept new installations as watertight. This white paper includes a detail review of existing assessment techniques, project findings, technology overview, and field results fom each project area included as part of Sydney Water’s trial project evaluation of FELL technology.

  2. Encapsulation Fittings: The Pipe Repair Solution You Didn't Know You Need 9/23/2022

    Encapsulation fittings offer a solution to pipe repairs involving difficult-to-access lines, critical lines to users such as hospitals, intercity areas, or major traffic arteries.

  3. From Waste To Light 3/29/2021

    Vienna’s climate-neutral wastewater treatment plant gets efficiency boost with Sulzer technologies

  4. Next-Generation Solutions To Stormwater And Personnel Challenges 7/12/2021

    In an industry beleaguered by workforce retirements, costly consent decrees, and climate-induced heavy rainfall events, fresh perspectives and ingenuity are high-profile needs. Fortunately, the U.S. EPA’s  Campus RainWorks Challenge is designed to deliver exactly those benefits from the next generation of stormwater specialists. Here’s how current utilities, municipal planners, and consulting-engineer practices all stand to benefit.

  5. Mobile Equipment Reduces Phosphorus In Wastewater Effluent 11/5/2025

    When frigid temperatures hinder standard filtration, mobile high-rate clarification provides a rapid response to stabilize effluent quality. This approach ensures total phosphorus remains below strict permit limits during seasonal spikes without requiring long-term capital investment or infrastructure overhauls.

  6. Rushville Installs AquaStorm® Cloth Media Filters To Treat Combined Sewer Overflow Discharge Instead Of Conventional Wet Weather Storage Tank 6/4/2025

    Discover why, rather than installing a costly stormwater storage tank, the City of Rushville partnered with Aqua-Aerobic Systems to pilot the AquaStorm Cloth Media Filter.

  7. Resolving High PH For Mining Operations 1/29/2014

    For an open-pit taconite mining operation in Minnesota, high pH groundwater required round-the-clock pumping to comply with discharge permit limits. After management installed a control system to neutralize the pH, the treated water leaving the site now meets permit limits. Read this case study to learn more about the installed system and results.

  8. Smart Water: Remote Sensing 7/19/2018

    Automated metering systems (AMSs) or “smart meters” can provide valuable data for electric and water utilities. Data analytics can be used to improve customer service, boost conservation, monitor the system, and even forecast demand. An ultimate goal might be to eventually monitor everything from streetlight intensity to fire hydrants.

  9. The Importance Of Grinder Design In Pump Protection 6/21/2020

    By breaking down solids into a manageable size, grinders allow pumps to work efficiently while avoiding downtime for cleaning and repair. However, not all grinders are the same. Here is a list of design features that are important to consider when making a grinder investment.

  10. Hydrant And Valve Replacement Project Preserved Service Without Major Shutdown 5/6/2026

    Discover how a utility eliminated a massive 17-valve shutdown in a high-pressure downtown corridor by installing an inline insertion valve in under two hours, protecting continuous service to critical public facilities.
