Wastewater Treatment Solutions

31. SulFeLox® 8/9/2024

    Hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) presents a significant challenge in wastewater management. Its foul odor and corrosive nature can severely damage infrastructure, leading to costly repairs. More importantly, H₂S poses substantial health risks, including respiratory issues and, at high concentrations, potentially lethal effects. Effective H₂S control is not just a regulatory requirement; it's essential for safeguarding infrastructure and public health.

    Our Solution:

    SulFeLox® is USP’s patented buffered iron solution for wastewater collection system sulfide control, with a hazard rating profile similar to nitrate (1-0-0).

32. WET WELL WIZARD Wastewater Collection System Aeration 7/26/2024

    Every modern town or city has a wastewater collection system of some type. The wastewater collection system is the conduit for used water, both sanitary and graywater (relatively clean, including stormwater), which initiates at the individual homes and businesses in the community. A primary part of the wastewater collection system is a number of “wet wells” that are used as wastewater collection points, or intercepts, from community neighborhoods. Often, lift stations, complete with large electric waste pumps, are used to keep the water moving to the city’s wastewater treatment plant.

33. Iron Salts 7/15/2024

    Iron salts are a proven technology for long-duration hydrogen sulfide control in collection system gravity and forcemains; solids processing units, solids transfer lines and anaerobic digesters. They have been used for over 30 years in hydrogen sulfide control applications and are a well understood technology.

34. Why Measuring Hydrogen Sulfide In Wastewater Matters 7/11/2024

    Hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) gas in wastewater environments is a familiar concern. But waiting until its odor is detected can be too late to exert as much control over it as desired. Fortunately, a new ability to monitor H₂S concentrations — in the liquid wastewater stream, in real time — is advantageous for wastewater professionals in terms of safety, cost, and consumer complaints. Here are four ways to capitalize on that capability.

35. Biosolids Odor And Corrosion Control 7/8/2024

    For more than 20 years, USP Technologies’ comprehensive biosolids odor and corrosion control solutions have been extremely effective at reducing sulfides and other odor causing compounds in municipal and industrial wastewater treatment systems.

36. GS1440 Sensor H2S 7/8/2024

    Water or air, measure H₂S where it matters – right at the source.

37. Achieving A Delicate Balance To Maintain RO Membranes 7/8/2024

    This application note explores the importance of maintaining a delicate balance in reverse osmosis systems to protect RO membranes.

38. Comparison Of Ultra Low Range Total Chlorine Residual Limits Of Detection And Quantitation Across The Water Industry 7/8/2024

    Limits of Detection and Quantitation are key to understanding analytical instrumentation capabilities, especially when non-optimal process control can lead to damage of sensitive equipment due to insufficiently accurate readings.

39. Is ORP Really Your Best Option For Dechlorination Measurement? 7/8/2024

    In this application note, explore considerations for achieving more reliable accuracy when quantifying dechlorination results for applications ranging from RO membrane protection to wastewater discharge compliance.

40. Nutrient Removal 6/28/2024

    Phosphorus and nitrogen, while necessary elements for life, when concentrated in the effluent of a wastewater treatment plant, are harmful to the environment, especially aquatic plants and animals. When concentrated amounts of these elements enter bodies of water, it causes algae blooms, which reduces dissolved oxygen in the water and can be damaging to animal populations. It can be a very serious problem for natural areas downstream of industrial or municipal discharge.
