Wastewater Contaminant Removal Resources

  1. Rise In Wastewater Treatment Practices To Drive Sodium Hypochlorite Market Demand 2/17/2023

    A steady rise in the volumes of wastewater globally and growing environmental concerns have prompted countries to increase their water treatment capabilities, thus augmenting sodium hypochlorite sales.

  2. ECI Solves MRO's Chromium Contamination Problem With 900 Series Monitor/Controllers 2/16/2023

    Cr(VI) is a regulated contaminant in drinking water because it can cause gastrointestinal, liver, and developmental toxicity in humans when ingested. A facility was unable to discharge to their POTW because the CR(VI) concentration in their wastewater stream was over the regulated discharge limit. 

  3. Proactive WWTP Design And Innovation Improves Health Of Chesapeake Bay Watershed 2/2/2023

    Read about the $568 million, decade-long upgrade of a Water Pollution Control Plant that would expand the plant’s capacity from 30 mgd to 40 mgd while also reducing nitrogen and phosphorous to the limit of technology.

  4. How To Mitigate The Environmental Impact Of Wastewater 1/31/2023

    Wastewater refers to any liquid waste or sewage from homes, hospitals, factories, and any other building that uses water in its facilities. From flushing the toilet to the vast amount of wastewater that flows out of industrial plants, we all contribute to it. Unless sewage is adequately treated, it can harm public health and the environment.

  5. Orbal® System for Biological Nutrient Removal 1/30/2023

    Discover how a fast-growing community's new WWTP meets new tighter limits on ammonia, phosphorus, and nitrogen for future growth.

  6. Demand For Mobile Water Treatment Systems Is Expected To Grow 1/23/2023

    The North American mobile water treatment market was valued at $725 million in 2022. The market is expected to witness a single-digit growth rate during the forecast period, driven by the provisional need for a treatment system in case of plant downtime, facility maintenance, emergencies, or to meet regulatory requirements for effluent discharge. The key challenges in this market include intense competition, the COVID-19 pandemic, and economic volatility.

  7. Doing More With Less: Densified Activated Sludge (DAS) Systems For Water Resource Recovery Facilities 1/11/2023

    As wastewater treatment plants — or water resource recovery facilities (WRRFs), more preferably termed — continue to strive for efficiency, DAS has emerged as a space-saving intensification solution.

  8. How To Lower BOD In Wastewater 11/8/2022
    Reducing biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) in wastewater is a key challenge for treatment facilities, but some solutions can help. BOD is a crucial factor in monitoring water quality and safety, and achieving a low BOD is one of the top goals of any plant.
  9. When Decentralized Wastewater Is The Wise Choice 11/3/2022

    Centralized wastewater treatment systems have been the dominant — and extremely effective — choice for pollution control historically, but onsite could prove right in many cases today.

  10. Bubble, Bubble Toil And Trouble 10/31/2022

    With this being Halloween, I figured I would paraphrase the Song of the Witches from Shakespeare's Macbeth to continue my reporting on how bubble technology can play a major role in water treatment applications.
