Wastewater Treatment Resources

1. Value of Wave Integration With PRVs 10/19/2020

   Distribution system water main breaks are a significant burden to communities and water systems not only due to disruption of water service to customers, but also due to significant economic burdens in the form of pipe replacement costs, excavation costs, and even insurance reimbursements. Read the full white paper to learn the KETOS Wave can be easily installed into existing PRVs to monitor the pressure and flow in the downstream side of the valve and proactively act in real-time as needed.

2. City of Warren, MI, Installs Promag W For Waste-Activated Sludge Application 10/9/2020

   The City of Warren Water Recovery Facility in Michigan, treats and protects the waters of the state. Proper water treatment is the main goal for the City as it has a direct impact on the future, ecosystem and providing residents safe and clean water to drink and participate in outdoor activities. Read the full case study to learn how the City of Warren Water Recovery Facility has been able to attain accurate data at a high repeatability rate since the installation of the Promag W unrestricted mounting 0 x DN electromagnetic flowmeter.

3. 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.

4. Addition Of inDENSE & AvN At Water Reclamation Facility Results In Drastic Changes In Plant Performance And Operations 9/23/2020

   In the interest of utilizing their existing infrastructure, the City of Pueblo, CO, evaluated technologies that would help intensify their existing process. WWW worked with their consulting engineer and identified two biological process modifications. Selective wasting through gravimetric selection using the inDENSE™ technology and advanced aeration control using AvN™. 

5. 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.

6. Municipality Looks To Expand Plant Capacity While Reusing Existing Systems 9/23/2020

   Sharjah Municipality of the Untied Arab Emirates (U.A.E.) was requiring to treat more and more flow despite having very little space for new treatment systems. They were looking at wanting to expand their plants No. 4 & No. 5 plants to meet new total nitrogen limits and try to do so by having to reuse the existing systems. This type of upgrade would save on cost as well as space at the plant.

7. Water Stressed City Looks At Opportunities To Reuse And Recycle Tertiary Treated Municipal Sewage For Cooling Tower Application 9/23/2020

   Bengaluru, being a water stressed city, was looking at opportunities to reuse and recycle of tertiary treated municipal sewage for cooling tower application in a nearby power plant. Jakkur STP, being a 10 MLD plant based on conventional anaerobic + conventional activated sludge, was identified to supply about 15 MLD of recycled water for the power plant. The entire plant was designed and retrofitted as two process trains of 7.5 MLD. Read the full case study to learn more about why Integrated Fixed Film Activated Sludge technology (IFAS) was determined to be the best suitable upgrade.

8. IFAS System Produces High Quality Effluent In East Central Kansas 9/23/2020

   The City of Emporia, in East Central Kansas, recently experienced an increase in population and more stringent effluent permit requirements resulting in a strained wastewater treatment plant. Emporia retained the services of a local engineering firm to evaluate the current and future needs of the system and recommend an economical, sustainable, and effective solution. After evaluating several options, World Water Works’ Integrated Fixed Film Activated Sludge (IFAS) conformed to all the requirements and was selected.

9. Using IoT-Based Tank Level Monitoring For Volume Measurement 9/22/2020

   Level monitoring systems has successfully triumphed every implementation. Their deployments allow the users to measure the level of liquid stored in a container of any shape, size, orientation, or material. Powered with the advanced telemetric technology of Internet of Things, these systems measure liquid level without making any contact with the liquid and transmit the readings to a comprehensive platform suite.

10. How Mendocino WTP Solved Its Wipe Issue 9/22/2020

    Meet the Mendocino WTP and discover how Screentec, the Pump Station Bar Screen, has improved their process. Wipes issues permanently solved, no more manual cleaning, and less than 1K$ in spare parts for 10 year. Read the case story to learn more.
