krohne Why You Should Replace Differential Pressure Transmitters With Radar

Replacing DP transmitters with 80 GHz radar eliminates density errors, reduces maintenance, and simplifies installation — delivering safer, more reliable level measurement for modern wastewater systems.

WASTEWATER CASE STUDIES AND WHITEPAPERS

  • Cardston's Community Relationship Improves With Dewatering Technology Choice

    Cardston WWTP’s choice of a dewatering system to replace its belt press, Huber Technology Q-Press®, has a striking comparison to the plant’s previous technology in both the footprint and the attention it requires. The Cardston staff also noticed striking improvements in water separation, end-product dryness and offensive odor by-product.  Read more about how the Q-Press® helped Cardston become a better neighbor.

  • Rumors, Half-Truths, And Truths About Temperature And pH

    A few months ago I received a call from an angry user who was using one of our differential probes and a controller. Embedded in the probe is a thermistor that measures temperature.

  • Integrating Safety And Process Environments

    Using a single programmable controller such as Schneider Electric’s M580 Safety Controller to manage both process and safety systems can help speed up deployment, improve reliability and sustainability of operations, enhance cybersecurity, and support greater productivity and transparency.

  • Coal Yard Runoff Compliance Using Actiflo® Technology

    Storm water runoff from a 37-acre coal storage yard utilized as part of daily operations at an industrial site in Southwestern Pennsylvania posed a problem when the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) updated the facility’s NPDES permit.

  • New Data Management Capabilities Help Labs Run Smoothly

    Laboratory performance is critical for evaluating water treatment operations — from operational and disinfection efficiency to regulatory compliance reporting to human health and safety. Errors, oversights, or incomplete documentation can plague even the most finely tuned water treatment utilities. Here is a quick review of tools and techniques that can improve workflow accountability.

  • Revitalizing A Hog Waste Lagoon

    A North Carolina hog grower with a brood barn of 200 full-grown sows contacted Reliant Water Technologies seeking assistance with one of his waste lagoons. The plan was to locate an aerator on one end of the lagoon and allow for the forward flow of water from a coarse bubble airlift to ‘push’ the water forward.

  • A Simple, Effective Strategy For Preventing Clogs

    Municipal wastewater treatment plant operators face significant challenges from a surge in clogs. Wipes that have been marketed as flushable, but don’t necessarily break down like toilet paper, are increasingly ending up in the waste stream. The proper mechanical solutions can help mitigate the problem and make operators’ lives easier.

  • Data Driven Decision Making For Chemical Optimization In Wastewater Treatment

    Chemical programs are essential components of wastewater treatment. Whether the goal is phosphorus removal, odor control, improved solids settling, or final polishing, chemicals often play a vital role in meeting permit limits and ensuring stable operations.

  • Fort Drum US Army Base - Groundwater Remediation & Soil Vapor Extraction

    Between 2001 and 2002, a faulty valve on a sump beneath a helicopter refueling oasis began slowly leaking jet fuel at the Wheeler-Sack Army Airfield of Fort Drum. When it was ultimately discovered in April 2006, it was estimated that approximately 350,000 gallons of jet fuel had been released into the ground, contaminating a three acre area of the base. newterra was contracted to provide remediation equipment to address the spill.

LATEST INSIGHTS ON WASTEWATER

  • With the rise of water scarcity, environmental regulations, and corporate sustainability mandates, produced water treatment has become a strategic imperative for industries far beyond oil and gas. It is one of the fastest-growing segments in the water treatment industry, which has emerged as an amalgamation of environmental stewardship, regulatory compliance, and technological innovation.
  • People around the globe are trying to figure out how to save, conserve, and reuse water in a variety of ways, including reusing treated sewage wastewater and removing valuable salts from seawater. But for all the clean water they may produce, those processes leave behind a type of liquid called brine. I’m working on getting the water out of that potential source, too.
  • As water systems become more circular and complex, understanding and managing the subsurface — the hidden half of the water cycle — is becoming a critical enabler of resilience. This article explores the key trends shaping this new reality, from tackling “forever chemicals” to the water strategies redefining heavy industry.
  • The White House has finalized plans to roll back rules under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), narrowing its focus and limiting what the current administration claims are needless delays for federal approval of water, energy, and other infrastructure plans. For water and wastewater utilities, the changes could speed up permitting for critical projects, although experts warn the tradeoffs could do more harm than good.
  • Traditional sewer systems, while effective, often require significant capital investment, invasive implementation measures, and complex maintenance. As a result, innovative decentralized wastewater solutions are necessary to address the needs of communities or commercial areas in need of wastewater service. One such solution is the liquid-only sewer (LOS) system.
  • While many scientific and technical reports show that floods are becoming larger and more common, reports underestimate how their frequency is changing. Flood sizes get the spotlight, but governments and experts need to also consider their frequency to address implications overlooked by traditional management methods.
