13. Evaluating Different Blower Technologies On A Wire-To-Air Basis
    3/26/2013

    In the absence of official third party specifications on energy efficiency, it is difficult to evaluate and compare blower technologies fairly and effectively. The lack of readily available evaluation tools leads to misinformation and unfair comparisons between technologies. Further, the performance verification process is difficult to prove.

    BCR Environmental utilizes the Huber Technology S-Disc thickener in their sludge neutralization process. Because the system is both simple and reliable they chose to standardize on the S-Disc. The design of the technology enables the operators easy access to monitor their process. Read how BCR is putting the S-Disc to work.

15. Wastewater Plant Cuts Mechanical Aeration Run Time With Solar-Powered Circulation Technology
    9/11/2009
    In the Buckeye State, the village of St. Henry, OH, is bucking the trend of many rural farming communities. Instead of losing residents and local businesses to bigger cities, this community is growing. Local industries such as turkey processing are expanding as well. By: Michael Christensen, SolarBee, Inc.
16. Gas Transfer: Theory And Key Process Factors
    1/13/2014

    This paper discusses gas transfer theory and key factors of the process along with sample applications using the Dif-Jet^TM including; transfer of CO₂ gas for pH neutralization of wastewater, for aeration and oxygenation, and for disinfection using ozone.

17. Article: Floating Horizontal Aerators Enhance Eufaula, Alabama Activated Sludge Plant
    1/18/2008
    The Eufaula, Alabama, wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) is an extended aeration activated sludge facility designed for an average daily flow rate of 2.7 million gallons per day (mgd). Prior to February, 2005 this WWTP used vertical aerators to provide oxygen and mixing in its aerator basins. The plant has two aeration basins, each 1.87 million gallons in volume, which had 160 horsepower (hp) of vertical aerators in each basin
18. Topeka WTP Installs Integrity A-758 PLUS™ Lime Slaker System To Replace Existing Lime Slaker
    12/6/2016

    The Topeka Water Treatment Plant (WTP) — a 60 million gallon per day facility - serves Topeka, Kansas and surrounding areas. Built in 1945, the plant underwent several renovations with the most recent upgrading the plant to its current capacity in 1993.

    In 2015, plant officials decided to replace the first of the existing slakers and, after considering offers from several slaker suppliers, chose the A-758 PLUS™ paste-type lime slaker manufactured by Integrity Municipal Systems, LLC (IMS). Read the full case study to learn more.

19. Concord, Massachusetts WWTP - A Low-Cost, 20-Year Solution To Ever-Tightening Phosphorus Limits
    12/16/2014

    Prior to 2007, Concord, Massachusetts wastewater treatment plant operated under a NPDES permit that allowed a seasonal phosphorus limit of 0.7 mg/L. But with the issuance of a new five-year permit with a phosphorus limit of 0.2 mg/L and the probability that future limits could reach as low as 0.05 mg/L, Concord needed a treatment solution that would be reliable and cost-effective today and over the long term.
