Wastewater Contaminant Removal Resources

  1. Math Solutions Explained: Calculate Food-to-Microorganism (F-M) Ratio 3/15/2022

    The food-to-microorganism (F-M) ratio is a process control numeric value advantageous to determine the proper number of microorganisms for the biological treatment process. The solution of calculating F-M ratio uses the influent volume of wastewater into an activated sludge system (flow MGD), incoming carbonaceous biochemical oxygen demand (CBOD) (mg/L) concentration into the aeration tank, mixed liquor volatile suspended solids (MLVSS) concentration (mg/L), and quantity (in gallons) of the respective aeration system.

  2. Best Practices For Decentralized Wastewater Treatment System Upgrades And Replacements 3/10/2022

    Onsite wastewater treatment solutions are practical and popular, but changing regulations and conditions may require an update to operations.

  3. Bio-Organic Flocculant Treatment For Phosphorus Removal: A Zeoturb Case Study 1/14/2022

    Regulating the discharge of phosphorus from industrial and municipal wastewater treatment plants is a primary factor in averting the eutrophication of surface water sources. Phosphorus is one of the key nutrients that contribute to this process in both lakes and natural waters. Its existence has caused major water quality issues such as the diminished recreational value of these surface waters, increased water treatment costs as well as the potentially lethal consequences of mycotoxins from algal growth.

  4. Industrial Wastewater Reuse: From Vision To Reality 1/12/2022

    With the need for fresh water becoming ever more critical, an innovative treatment solution provides promise for cost-effective sustainability.

  5. A New Spin On An Old Technology Yields Surprising Results 1/12/2022

    A new advanced oxidation process has been born from a quest to find a more sustainable disinfection option for high water consumption applications, revolutionizing cooling water treatment and other operations with similar objectives, as well as entirely different fields like aquaculture, wastewater treatment, and animal drinking water applications.

  6. 4 Key Factors Impacting Water Management In Industrial Operations 12/10/2021

    The pressures of various risk factors, regulations, and responsibilities require a commitment to improve industrial water management.

  7. SWAN Corner: Utilizing IoT Data To Revolutionize Municipal Tertiary Treatment 10/4/2021

    The DE NORA TETRA Modular DeepBed Filter (MDBF) Plant is an established tertiary wastewater filtration technology for the UK municipal water market to remove total suspended solids (TSS) before final effluent is discharged to a water course.

  8. Reduce Energy, Water, And OPEX With Modern Decentralized Wastewater Treatment 9/7/2021

    The benefits of the facultative membrane bioreactor (FMBR) are examined, along with results of a pilot demonstration project to further prove efficacy.

  9. Community Wastewater Treatment Options Expand With Decentralized Treatment Approaches 7/6/2021

    Sometimes conventional wastewater treatment solutions won’t work for a given application, and sometimes a nonconventional approach is simply the better choice for high-quality, cost-effective performance.

  10. Beautiful Bull Shoals — And The Wastewater Treatment Plant — Just A Stone's Throw Away 5/27/2021

    We all love it when a plan comes together. In July 1952 in Arkansas, when President Harry S. Truman dedicated the Bull Shoals dam on the White River, which created Bull Shoals Lake, it, as planned, brought about a boom in tourism — and how.
