Wastewater Contaminant Removal Resources

81. 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).

82. 4 Benefits Of Using Reverse Osmosis Wastewater Treatment 2/1/2021

    When a municipality or business wants to reuse their wastewater, some applications require more treatment than others due to the quality of the wastewater. Many standard wastewater treatment systems consist of pretreatment, primary treatment, and secondary treatment stages. By the end of the secondary stage, a majority of the pollutants, solids, organics, inorganics, and metals have been removed or reduced. This is where reverse osmosis wastewater treatment can be utilized in a third stage process.

83. 4 Benefits Of Electrocoagulation For Beverage Food Wastewater Treatment 2/1/2021

    With a global population of over seven billion people, there are hundreds, if not thousands, of companies in the world that produce the food and beverages that are needed to meet this global demand. These companies require massive amounts of water to produce their products, and those products result in equal amounts of wastewater. It’s simple enough to just discharge the wastewater into a nearby stream or surface water source and be finished with it. However, with constantly changing environmental regulations and pressure to be more environmentally conscious, food and beverage companies face increasing requirements of beverage and food wastewater treatment.

84. Jefferson Parish Prevents Odor And Corrosion Issues With BlueInGreen's SDOX-CS Solution 2/1/2021

    Officials at the Jefferson Parish Sewerage Department approached the team at Digital Engineering to find a long-term solution for the odor and corrosion issues throughout the East Bank Wastewater Treatment Plant. 

85. City Of Fayetteville Replaces UV Treatment System With BlueInGreen's HyDOZ Solution 2/1/2021

    After researching different ozone systems, plant officials ata 12 MGD wastewater plant in Arkansas chose to install BlueInGreen’s HyDOZ technology in order to more efficiently meet current permit requirements, as well as prepare for future legislation.

86. CDOX® And CO2-Based System Replaces Manual Chemical Dosing Of Strong-Acids, Increasing Workplace Safety 1/31/2021

    The wastewater pre-treatment plant processes effluent from the manufacturing facility prior to discharging into the sanitary sewer system for treatment at the municipal wastewater facility. Use of sulphuric acid to manage the pH of the wastewater in the buffering reactor tank prior to entering the DAF for solids and oil removal was considered to be an unnecessary risk requiring significant safety protocols.

87. Building Trust With Stakeholders Through Transparency And Consistency In Water Quality Reporting 1/20/2021

    Going beyond water management to proactive and holistic water stewardship requires a comprehensive understanding of the quality of water being managed at a mine site, and how this is influenced by the characteristics of and activities within the wider catchment. Understanding water quality is important for reducing water related risks, identifying opportunities, attracting investment, and building trust with local communities.

88. UV Treatment Used To Generate High-Quality Recycled Wastewater For Agricultural Operations In Spain 12/16/2020

    Recycled wastewater provides a cost-effective, local and sustainable water supply for multiple non-potable uses.

89. Meat Processing Companies: Benefits Of Electrocoagulation 10/30/2020

    While vegetarianism and veganism have both grown in popularity in the past decade, vegans and vegetarians combined are vastly outnumbered by people who love meat. In the United States, where we have hot-dog-eating contests and food-eating challenges, we consume a lot of meat of all types. Therefore, meat-processing water treatment is required to package and process these foods within the U.S. and across the world.

90. Using ATP And NGS To Monitor Nitrification 10/28/2020

    China Steel Corporation, a steel producer in Taiwan, produces wastewater that is high in organics, ammonia, solids, and other waste products. The wastewater is treated on-site using a series of biological treatment processes. The variable influent quality can make it challenging to meet treatment objectives.
