Wastewater Treatment Insights

  1. Understanding Closed Pipe Flow Measurement 7/26/2024

    This recent Q&A with Richard Lowrie, KROHNE’s Water and Wastewater Industry Manager for the US and Canada, covers closed pipe measurement and its enabling technologies.

  2. New Nashville Equalization Facility Helps Manage Wastewater Flows 7/18/2024
    Workers in Nashville recently completed an $18.9 million project to supplement an existing pump station to help manage excessive flows in the existing sewer system. The new equalization storage tank is the centerpiece to the facility, and those tanks play an important role in wastewater management.
  3. Improving The Resilience Of A UV System For Wastewater Disinfection 7/18/2024
    One important consequence of climate change for wastewater treatment plants is that they now need to cope with sudden increases in the effluent volume with the receiving waterbodies equally carrying more water and being in flood conditions. This is especially true for the final treatment step — disinfection prior to discharge.
  4. Harnessing Rainwater: A Sustainable Solution For Water Security 7/15/2024

    The global rainwater harvesting market, valued at US$839.7 million in 2022, is projected to exhibit a robust CAGR of 6.3%, reaching US$1.5 billion by 2031. This growth is driven by escalating water scarcity concerns exacerbated by erratic rainfall patterns and climate change impacts.

  5. The Potential Of Rainwater As A Renewable Resource 7/12/2024

    As water resources become more stressed, continuing to "waste" rainwater becomes increasingly inadvisable, perhaps even irresponsible.

  6. Optimization Strategies To Streamline Community Wastewater Utility Operations 7/12/2024
    The availability of robust, stable treatment systems with simple treatment processes and O&M is key to serving growing community wastewater treatment demand.
  7. A Multi-Billion-Dollar Water Industry Segment Not To Be Overlooked 7/11/2024
    Water resources are a critical component of any region's ecosystems. But, perhaps even more important is the realization that water is also essential for human survival. Its needs cannot be ignored.
  8. A Digital Journey Through ACE24 6/28/2024
    With more than 10,500 attendees at ACE24, AWWA's Annual Conference and Exposition is getting back on track to (almost) pre-COVID levels. And if you were away for a while, you were struck by the amount of digital technologies on the show floor.
  9. All-Terrain Sewers Got A Good Beat, And Indy Dances To It 6/17/2024
    When Susan Raccoli penned "Beneath the Ground, Raw Sewage" (to the tune of "St. Christopher") in 1993, her hometown of Indianapolis inspired the lyrics. "Our septic failure is a curse," she wrote, with verses alluding to its "Third World"; smells, high water tables, clay soil "which does not perk," typhoid, cholera, mosquitoes singing "with glee," and the "expensive" but desired transition to gravity sewers.
  10. Innovating Wastewater Treatment: Harnessing AI For Energy Efficiency And Enhanced Performance 6/7/2024

    Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers a promising solution to the challenges posed by energy-intensive aeration processes and the consequent escalation of operational costs in wastewater treatment.
