Wastewater Filtration Resources

  1. Automatic Scraper Strainers Protect Critical Membrane Systems 1/19/2022

    Automated scraper strainers pre-filter water and wastewater to protect fragile membrane systems from damage caused by large, suspended particles, reducing maintenance and replacement costs.

  2. 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.

  3. Domestic Wastewater Treatment In Telluride, CO 10/25/2021

    Last Dollar is a year-round residential community located just outside of Telluride, Colorado. The facility had been reliant on an aging treatment system that was failing quickly and needed immediate replacement to prevent operational fines. The current technology would not meet the new and more stringent effluent requirements in Colorado, so the project had to be completed quickly and within a tight budget. AquaWorks DBO provided the permitting and site engineering support to ensure the project was completed in 8 months from contract award to system operation.

  4. Winery Receives Green Certification With TITAN MBR 7/22/2021

    This prominent Napa County vineyard and winery received a prestigious green certification after committing to sustainable and environmentally-friendly technologies, including the installation of a dynamic MBR wastewater treatment system.

  5. Improve Sludge Quality With Sludge Screening 6/7/2021

    Plants with Anaerobic Digestion see phenomenal performance improvements in this process when they removed rags, plastics, and inorganic solids from their digester with the Hydro-Sludge Screen from Hydro International. Learn about a few of the many wastewater treatment plants that have benefitted from cleaner sludge. Read this brochure for brief case studies of how plants have improved their overall operations as well as protected valuable process performance and capacity with the Hydro-Sludge Screen.

  6. Decentralized Wastewater Treatment In A Housing Development 5/11/2021

    Young’s Cove is a masterfully planned exceptional waterfront community situated in pristine Prince Edward County, on the shores of Lake Ontario. It has panoramic views, a children’s waterpark, miles of pathways, green spaces. It covers 7,000 feet of shoreline and fronts protected wetlands and preserves hundreds of acres of forest with birds and wildlife everywhere.

  7. Filtering Out Failures: A Productive Conversion Experience For A Steel Mill 10/6/2020

    Water filtration in steel manufacturing should be one of those things that mill owners never have to worry about. But when filter systems fail to perform as expected, it’s time to invest in a smarter design. That was the situation at a midwestern steel mill that embarked on a major, eight-year conversion of its water filtration infrastructure.

  8. Anammox Sidestream Deammonification Process Allows Plant To Reduce Capital And Infrastructure Costs 9/23/2020

    Pierce County’s main goal was to reduce the discharge of nitrogen to Puget Sound while also reducing plant operating costs while in nitrogen removal mode. After upgrading, the new system continues to remove greater than 80 percent of ammonia and 75 percent of total inorganic nitrogen, equating to a reduction of over 400 tons per year of nitrogen loading to Puget Sound.

  9. MBBR Technology Helps Plant Maintain Discharge Compliance, Achieve Sustainable Growth 8/18/2020

    A bacon processing plant in the Midwest was overloaded by more than 50%. Even though the system continued to maintain compliance, the plant proactively decided to expand its wastewater treatment facility to ensure they met their growing demand and maintained their standing as exemplary corporate citizens and environmental stewards.

  10. Mobile Home Park Installs Modular MBR System To Save Valuable Space 5/18/2020

    Bay Meadows is a year-round RV and mobile home park located along the shores of Lake Ontario. The facility had been reliant on subsurface treatment, however current regulatory requirements eliminated the option of continuing with that approach. In addition to high bedrock, the lack of available area due to design flow values meant a more sophisticated sewage treatment solution would be necessary.
