    Learn how Simmons Foods resolved their wastewater treatment issues by replacing their aeration equipment, resulting in increased treatment capacity, improved removal rates, and reduced operating costs and energy consumption. 

82. A Lid For Every Pot: Retrofitting To Meet New Aeration Challenges 5/16/2019

    Aeration for industrial and municipal wastewater treatment involves more than simply moving volumes of air through a treatment basin. It really comes down to creating and sustaining an optimal oxygenated environment for microorganisms to convert oxygen consuming compounds into CO₂ and water. Here are some key considerations for making better retrofit decisions about upgrading existing basin capacity and efficiency with jet aeration.

83. Side-Stream SDOX® Systems Enhance Biological Function And Treatment Capacity 2/1/2021

    Wastewater from the meat processing facility is treated using a sequence batch reactor and an aerobic lagoon that discharges to surface waters following treatment.

86. Food Processor Monitors Water Usage And Verifies Meter Calibration 11/22/2015

    A food processing company in northern California has a small wastewater treatment plant to treat its wastewater before releasing it back to the local municipality.

87. SDOX Technology Mitigates Sulfide Production By Promoting Aerobic Environment 2/2/2021

    The Plant’s wastewater treatment facility uses four, covered anaerobic lagoons to manage BOD, pretreating wastewater prior to sending the effluent to a pumping station which directs the wastewater into the municipal collection system for final treatment at the City’s wastewater treatment plant. Read more to learn how the company used hydrogen peroxide and a catalyst to maintain an aerobic environment but was unable to adequately mitigate the odor from the facility’s wastewater.

88. MBBR-DAF System Provides The 'Perfect Solution' For Alchemist Brewery 5/2/2019

    Alchemist Brewery is a microbrewery specializing in brewing, packaging and distributing its award-winning IPA beer, Heady Topper. An unprecedented following of the signature ale drove the need for a larger brewery and retail sales center. The brewery operates with a profound respect for environmental responsibility, so with a new facility in the horizon, there was opportunity to explore wastewater treatment system options that would allow them to minimize their impact on the town’s wastewater infrastructure.

89. Arsenic 101: 5 Questions Answered 4/26/2013

    Arsenic in water is one thing, but arsenic in beer? This is getting out of hand. While the drinking water supply is clearly much more of a concern than the beer supply, the sobering fact is that arsenic, a known carcinogen, is far too prevalent in the environment.

90. Seaboard Triumph Foods 5/28/2024

    Learn how Seaboard Triumph Foods replaced ineffective hydrogen peroxide treatment with SDOX technology, resulting in cost savings, improved sewer system, and enhanced odor control.
