SLUDGE & BIOSOLIDS PROCESSING RESOURCES

• 2nd Generation ATAD Provides High Quality Biosolids With Increased Capacity

  Modernize solids handling with automated aerobic digestion to manage rapid community growth. This high-rate process increases capacity, ensures Class A compliance, and significantly reduces disposal costs while providing odor-free operations through advanced nutrient and off-gas management.

• 2nd Generation ATAD System Improves Capacity While Producing Odor-Free Biosolids

  Upgrade wastewater operations with automated aerobic digestion. This advanced process increases capacity and ensures stable temperature control for Class A compliance, producing odor-free biosolids and efficient nitrogen removal to meet strict environmental standards and community expectations.

• How Sewage Treatment Plants Could Handle Food Waste, Sparing Landfills And The Climate

  Every day, food scraps disappear into trash bags, are hauled away, and forgotten. But that waste could be turned into something productive.

• MBRs As A Compliance Safety Net: Keeping BOD/TSS Below Detection Even Under Stress

  Maintain strict permit compliance even when hydraulic shocks or seasonal loads hit your system. Membrane filtration ensures dependable removal of solids and organic load, providing a critical process stability buffer against unexpected compliance risks.

• Aqua TruDense™ Provides Additional Capacity, Improves Settling, And Achieves Enhanced Nutrient Removal

  A densified sludge process can improve wastewater treatment by promoting larger, denser sludge particles. This enhances settling, improves nutrient removal, and increases treatment capacity.

• ATAD Provides Increased Capacity With No Odors

  Faced with persistent odor complaints and limited space, Douglas County Sewer District #1 in East Wenatchee, Washington, turned to the ThermAer second-generation Autothermal Thermophilic Aerobic Digestion (ATAD) system to modernize its biosolids treatment.

• Anaerobic Digestion Optimization System Provides Exceptional Improvements

  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.

• 2nd Generation ATAD Provides Superior Treatment

  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.

• California's First Installation Of 2nd Generation ATAD

  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.

• The Real Cost Of Wastewater Treatment: MBR Reshapes The Equation

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

• Sludge Costs Are Wrecking Wastewater Budgets. Here's How MBR Can Help

  Sludge management costs aren’t going away, so your team needs to find a solution. Land application bans, PFAS regulations, and rising disposal costs are making sludge an even bigger financial liability.

• How A City's Sewage System Can Generate Renewable Natural Gas Production And Earn Royalties

  Imagine if wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) — typically associated with managing sewage — could instead become known for fueling a more sustainable future.
• Time-Based Treatment Is A Game Changer For Activated Sludge, Granular Sludge, And Densified Sludge

  Time-based batch processing allows WWTPs to gain the benefits of new suspended growth technologies in a much smaller footprint.

• Enhancing Treatment Capacity With miGRATE™ Technology At Verrado WRF

  Due to rapid population growth in its service area, Verrado Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) in Verrado, Arizona faced a challenge. Its existing treatment capacity of 1.54 millions of gallons per day (MGD) had become insufficient to meet the rising demand and comply with both Total Suspended Solids (TSS) and Total Nitrogen (TN) permits.
