In 2008 Texas was facing an extended drought and the City of San Angelo was weighing its alternatives. The City felt the Hickory Aquifer well field was the best water option available, but this water contained significant amounts of radium and iron.

Read about how Welsh Water sought innovative solutions, exploring clamp-on technology for accurate sewage flow measurement.

ELCOGAS, established in 1992 with the aim of building and operating a 335 MW Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) power plant as well as the commercialization of its technology.

Two innovative products leverage natural fluid dynamics, biology, and aeration principles to reduce labor and energy consumption in wastewater applications — the Lagoon Master Aerator and the Wet Well Wizard.

The Deep Tunnel Sewerage System (DTSS) is an efficient and cost-efficient solution to meet Singapore’s long-term needs for used water collection, treatment, reclamation and disposal. Conceptualised and managed by PUB, Singapore’s National Water Agency, it was conceived as a cost-effective and sustainable solution to meet Singapore’s long-term used water needs.

In an era of increased scrutiny for delivering efficient and sustainable industrial practices, the maxim “you can’t manage what you don’t measure” is well known to anyone, particularly those whose daily role revolves around monitoring and improving water quality.

Temporary bypass systems allow for necessary maintenance and repair. 

Anderson Valley Brewing Company had acquired a several different aeration technologies in their treatment ponds over the years including surface aspirators and a diffuser system. They were interested in increasing treatment capacity so they could irrigate using reclaimed wastewater. After discovering ClearBlu and visiting an existing installation they decided to incrementally add UltraFine Bubble aerators to increase treatment.

This article will explain why rain-dependent inflow and infiltration (RDI&I) measurement often fails and how to produce the level of data quality that can detect, understand, and manage it.

In general, the term blower is a machine used for moving gas with a moderate increase of pressure, but it is easier to answer the question if we compare the fan, blower, and compressor. An air compressor has a high pressure-to-volume ratio, whereas an air blower has a low pressure-to-volume ratio.

Energy costs continue to increase. At the same time, there is increased pressure to reduce utility bills without sacrificing operations or comfort.

There are several basic methods for reducing harmonic voltage and current distortion from nonlinear distribution loads such as adjustable frequency drives (AFDs). Following is a description of each method, along with each method’s advantages and disadvantages.

Many are turning to UV as an effective barrier to enable the reuse of wastewater, for indirect reuse, and aquifer recharge.

Leaks found in 60 psi high density PE pipe by FELL in less than three hours. Acoustic and CCTV failed to find any leaks after more than a year of investigation. Read the full case study to learn more. 

Hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) gas in wastewater environments is a familiar concern. But waiting until its odor is detected can be too late to exert as much control over it as desired. Fortunately, a new ability to monitor H₂S concentrations — in the liquid wastewater stream, in real time — is advantageous for wastewater professionals in terms of safety, cost, and consumer complaints. Here are four ways to capitalize on that capability.

Homes, industry, schools, and businesses all generate sanitary waste, or sewage. Sewage treatment is a multistage process that cleans up wastewater before discharge or reuse. In the final step of the treatment, disinfectants are added to kill disease-causing organisms. Common disinfectants are chlorine gas and sodium hypochlorite. Chlorine dosage levels are designed to leave almost no residual in the wastewater after treatment

A Southern U.S. municipality experiencing taste and odor issues in a certain neighborhood was also having difficulty maintaining chlorine residual levels in the area. Biological growth was suspected, however, water leaving the treatment plant met and exceeded all water quality requirements. After several investigations, the source of contamination in the distribution system could still not be identified.
