  1. Impact Of Real-Time NH3-N Monitoring In Wastewater Treatment Plants 6/24/2025

    In this white paper, learn how real-time monitoring of ammonia (NH₃) and nitrogen (N) in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) can be a game-changer for optimizing treatment performance and energy efficiency.

  2. Anaerobic Digestion Optimization System Provides Exceptional Improvements 6/18/2025

    Faced with soaring ammonia loads—especially during race weekends when 250,000+ fans descend on the town—the Speedway, Indiana Wastewater Treatment Plant was in urgent need of a solution.

  3. 2nd Generation ATAD Provides Superior Treatment 6/18/2025

    In a bold move to modernize its wastewater treatment, Bowling Green, Ohio, installed the state’s first second-generation Autothermal Thermophilic Aerobic Digestion (ATAD) system—ThermAer—in 2004. The upgrade expanded the plant’s capacity from 6 to 10 MGD and replaced an inefficient, odor-prone coarse-bubble aeration system.

  4. California's First Installation Of 2nd Generation ATAD 6/11/2025

    Calera Creek Water Recycling Plant, located in Pacifica, California, recently retrofitted to the Thermal Process Systems’ ThermAer™. This is California’s first installation of the second generation ATAD system.

  5. Optimal Baseplate Grouting For Vertical Dry Pit Submersible Pumps 6/9/2025

    As municipalities increasingly switch to vertical dry pit submersible pumps to address flooding concerns, one critical yet often overlooked installation detail can make or break system performance: baseplate grouting.

  6. Algae Can Clean Sewage Without Electricity Or Chemicals — We Put It To The Test 6/6/2025

    Large wastewater facilities are designed to remove physical, chemical, and biological contaminants from domestic wastewater or industrial effluent, producing treated water that is safe to discharge into rivers. But they’re expensive and energy-intensive. They’re also difficult to maintain in rural areas where local government doesn’t get much revenue.

  7. Rushville Installs AquaStorm® Cloth Media Filters To Treat Combined Sewer Overflow Discharge Instead Of Conventional Wet Weather Storage Tank 6/4/2025

    Discover why, rather than installing a costly stormwater storage tank, the City of Rushville partnered with Aqua-Aerobic Systems to pilot the AquaStorm Cloth Media Filter.

  8. The Real Cost Of Wastewater Treatment: MBR Reshapes The Equation 6/2/2025

    For years, conventional activated sludge (CAS) has been the default in wastewater treatment. But the industry is changing.

  9. How To Remove Silica From Industrial Wastewater Efficiently 5/30/2025
    Silica can secretly wreak havoc in many industrial applications. Addressing this invisible issue can save your equipment. It will also optimize maintenance while mitigating costly downtime from scale deposit buildup.
  10. Forget 25-Year Master Plans: It's Time To Rethink Capital Planning For Pump And Lift Stations 5/27/2025

    In Part 2 of the Get Pumped Up series, explore the hidden flaw in traditional infrastructure planning: it’s too slow for today’s dynamic conditions.
