Wastewater Filtration Resources

61. Automated Residual Boosting System Improves Chloramine Levels, Eliminates Nitrification In 400,000-gal Tank 7/31/2017

    Like many municipalities in urban and suburban areas, San Bruno’s source water comes both from its own groundwater supply and through a purchase agreement with a major water utility — in this case, San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC). And, like many municipalities in California, SFPUC, along with San Bruno, switched from free chlorine to chloramines in 2003 largely to reduce disinfection by-products.

62. Packaged Wastewater Treatment For Guantanamo Bay 7/28/2017

    In 2001, with the growing population at Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, and expected future growth, a wastewater treatment system was needed to handle the increase in flows. Fluence worked directly with the United States Navy to design an advanced wastewater treatment plant to meet those needs. The intent was to supply four or five large packaged wastewater treatment systems at different locations around the base.

63. Town Of Kittery, Maine Relies On Lime Feeders For pH Control For More Than 25 years 6/26/2017

    The Francis L. Hatch water filtration plant is in the coastal town in York county Maine and has an average capacity of 2.6 MGD. This is a surface water plant that utilizes hydrated or “slaked” lime (calcium hydroxide) to maintain the pH level around 7.0. For over 25 years, the district has used two of the UGSI Chemical Feed model 32‐055 Feeders to mix dry hydrated lime with water to create a lime slurry solution that can then be added to the finished water treatment.

64. Filter Technology Saves Colorado Plant 50,000 GPD 5/16/2017

    Combined with the installation of the new filter media and wash troughs, this particular type of underdrain and media retainer brought the water treatment plant’s operations up to speed.

65. Reduce Lifetime Costs With Steel Tanks For Wastewater Treatment 4/17/2017

    In municipal or industrial wastewater treatment applications, steel constructed tanks up to 5.0 million gallons per day (MGD) and below offer significant advantages over concrete; benefits that lead to lower operating and lifetime costs, regardless of application.

66. UV Treatment Upgrade For Water Reuse - EWA Beach, Hawaii 3/15/2017

    The Honouliuli Water Recycling Facility (WRF) includes filtration and UV treatment to treat to Class R-1 reuse standards for various uses, including irrigation.

67. City Validates Innovative Reuse Treatment Options Without RO 3/13/2017

    Hollywood, Florida’s 55.5 MGD Southern Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant (SRWWTP) treats wastewater from Hollywood and six neighboring municipalities in the southern region of Broward County. Florida’s outfall rule requires the city to begin a process to largely eliminate the use of its ocean outfall and implement 20.4 MGD of additional reuse on an annual basis.

68. Dairy Processing Plant Maximizes Performance With New Scaling-Resistant Solution 3/13/2017

    Wastewater from dairy applications has high amounts of calcium and phosphorus. This characteristic may cause scaling on the media of a Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor and may cause poor COD removal. Veolia was able to retrofit the client’s existing MBBR with the newly designed Z-MBBR media by AnoxKaldnes, which improved the operation of the entire wastewater system.

69. Meeting Strict TN Limits: ANITA™ Mox 10/18/2016

    The City of Durham, NC, completed a comprehensive wastewater master plan that evaluated different treatment techniques for meeting strict total nitrogen (TN) limits at the South Durham Water Reclamation Facility (SDWRF).

70. Increasing Capacity: AE-DENITRO + Hydrotech Discfilter 10/18/2016

    The City of Palm Coast, located on the east coast of Florida, expanded their existing Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) to increase capacity to 6.83 MGD due to population growth, as well as add the production of reclaimed reuse water for use within the City.
