61. ICEAS SBR Technology Enters 30th Year Of High-Quality Effluent Production 3/25/2015

    In the late 1970s, a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) in Tullahoma, TN, built in 1955, was overloaded and deteriorating.

62. State-Of-The-Art Treatment Equipment Greatly Reduces Plant's Energy Consumption 3/25/2015

    Driven by compliance with more stringent water treatment standards, the Fond du Lac Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) leveraged the upgrade opportunity to improve beyond limiting ammonia effluent levels. The plant improved energy fficiency, reduced maintenance and operating costs, and eliminated bypasses into Lake Winnebago during high rainfall.

63. N-Pumps And Multismart Pump Station Controls Reduce Costs And Improve Efficiency In Missouri 3/23/2015

    The Sni-A-Bar Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) serves the nearby cities of Blue Springs and Grain Valley, MO. In 2013, the city of Blue Springs completed an expansion project to increase plant capacity and improve effluent discharge, allowing the Sni-A-Bar WWTP to meet more stringent environmental requirements mandated by the EPA and the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MDNR).

64. N-Technology Impeller Pumps Eliminate FOG Buildup At Resort And Casino 3/19/2015

    The successful addition of new restaurants and clubs at a resort and casino in Upstate NY brought with them a flow of fats, oil and grease (FOG), which gelled into a floating blanket atop the main station’s wet well, where the sewage flows converge from the network of smaller stations throughout the property boundaries.

    St. Joseph Sanitary District No. 1, near La Crosse, WI, operated a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) that served approximately 1,000 residential customers.

66. Wastewater Treatment System Achieves Stringent Water Quality Discharge Limits And Reduces Costs 3/9/2015

    The Village of Johnson Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF) was among the first in the state of Vermont to meet newly enacted secondary treatment requirements when it began operation in 1970.

67. Mixers Prevent Buildup And Reduce Wetwell Cleaning Charges 3/9/2015

    The City of Reno, NV, has long battled the buildup of fats, oils, and grease in the wetwells of wastewater lift stations in the valleys within this high desert city. Recently, the city set out to address the problem and reduce the associated costs.

68. Mixers Clear FOG And Reduce Operating Costs By More Than 80% 3/8/2015

    The Cypress Creek WWTP in Florence, AL, uses an extended aeration activated sludge process with a design capacity of 20 million gallons per day (MGD). Cypress Creek serves mostly residential customers, but about 15 percent of its influent comes from industrial sources, and their discharge to the plant contains large amounts of fats, oils, and grease (FOG).

69. Clogging Problem Solved; Maintenance Cost Reduced; 15 Percent Less Power Consumption Delivered 3/6/2015

    A WWTP facility in Indiana serves a six-square-mile area, and has historically experienced pronounced peak flows caused by nearly one-fourth of its  collection system consisting of combined storm water and sanitary sewer lines.

70. Flygt Mixers Clear Sediment And Save Man-Hours For San Antonio Utility 3/5/2015

    For almost 50 years, CPS Energy of San Antonio has drawn water from the San Antonio River to recharge two man-made lakes that provide cooling water for their power plants.
