Wastewater Contaminant Removal Resources

81. 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.

82. 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.

83. 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.

84. Riviera Utilities WWTP Upgrades To State-Of-The-Art Aerobic Granular Sludge Technology 5/24/2021

    Instead of taking the traditional approach of adding an additional oxidation ditch to increase treatment capacity, Riviera Utilities had the desire to “future-proof” the plant and prepare to meet more stringent effluent requirements.

85. Treating Contaminated Groundwater: Advanced Iron Removal System 5/11/2021

    The City of Belleville, Ontario, planned on re-developing downtown waterfront property into a public space, but there was one problem: the history of the site had led to groundwater contamination.  

86. Biolac Long Sludge Age Treatment Combined With MRI Plate Settlers Achieves Low Nutrient Limits 4/8/2021

    The Tri-Lakes Wastewater Treatment Facility located in Monument, CO, receives flow from the Woodmoor, Palmer Lake, and Monument Sanitation Districts. The plant discharges treated effluent to Monument Creek, which is within the Fountain Creek Water Shed. Originally, the Tri-Lakes facility consisted of a three-cell lagoon. This was replaced by a two-basin Biolac Wave-Ox system, which was installed in 1990 and later upgraded in 1998 to a three-basin system with a capacity of 4.2 MGD.

87. Trending In Wastewater Treatment: Industrial Vacuum Evaporation Systems 3/8/2021

    Sought after in a variety of market sectors for their performance and utility, industrial vacuum evaporation systems are in the midst of a surge. For the unacquainted, this primer explains the reasons why.

88. Challenges Surrounding Developing Cannabis-Wastewater Handling And Treatment Best Practices 2/25/2021

    With any new and upcoming industry, regulations surrounding product development, market research, and potential regulatory impacts must be evaluated. But what happens when that new industry involves a product that is illegal to produce on a federal level, but legal on a state level? This unusual circumstance dictates a more expansive set of considerations and potential issues for all stakeholders involved.

89. Why Municipal Wastewater Treatment Is Important? 2/2/2021

    Municipal Wastewater Treatment is the process of ejecting the harmful pollutants from wastewater. The main source of pollutants is the domestic use. The pollutants are treated by various methods like Physical, Chemical, and Biological process. The practice of municipal wastewater treatment is best encouraged these days. This treated resource is best for utilizing in raising the crops.

90. Pros And Cons Of The Advanced Oxidation Process 2/1/2021

    In many water and wastewater treatment applications, there are a number of pollutants that are difficult to reduce by physical, chemical, or biological means alone. In more recent years, there has been a growing concern regarding pharmaceutical drugs in drinking water and aquatic environments. Pesticides get caught in runoff from farms into freshwater supplies. Personal care products are typically washed down the drain into whatever system they are linked to. Landfill leachate is a toxic cocktail of compounds that can leak into groundwater sources. Such contaminants fall into the category of micropollutants, because they are so small. Their size alone is part of the reason, they are so difficult to remove from water and wastewater by certain means. More efficient removal requires a more powerful oxidation process, this process is called an advanced oxidation process (AOP).
