AVT-news Maintaining And Improving Jersey City Water Infrastructure

Jersey City in New Jersey is undergoing a period of development and growth which has seen its population increase by more than 50,000 people in the last 13 years. To cater for this growth, the Jersey City Municipal Utilities Authority is tasked with maintaining its aging water infrastructure and improving its critical water supply to ensure it can meet the needs of its customers both now and into the future.

WASTEWATER CASE STUDIES AND WHITEPAPERS

  • Wastewater Plant Relies On Thermal Flow Meter For Co-Gen Power Gas Blending Process

    The Rahway Valley Sewerage Authority (RVSA), which operates a large wastewater treatment plant in New Jersey, embarked on a green co-generation waste-to-energy project to power a portion of its operations. The plant’s management team became interested in pursuing the gas-to-energy power co-generation system for both environmental and cost reasons.

  • Stormwater Management - Cog Moors Wastewater Treatment Works, South Wales

    Effectively treating and managing Northern Ireland and Engalnd's substantial stormwater runoff is of utmost importance. It’s also subject to increased scrutiny from governing bodies.

  • The "Design For Autonomous Net-Zero Water Buildings" Project Funded By NSF

    The students at the University of Miami will know firsthand the importance of rethinking the way we handle wastewater and water with a Net-Zero water treatment system on site.   The project showed the viability and feasibility to take buildings off the water grid to provide water recycling and how it can be achieved without raising the cost of high quality water.

  • Pentair Next-Gen Submersible Helps Protect Danville, Indiana

    The County Home Lift Station in Danville, Indiana, plays a crucial role in managing wastewater for a diverse area that includes a regional hospital, a county jail, a landfill, and numerous businesses and residences.

  • From Blowers To Controls: The Path To Smarter Aeration

    Aerzen’s latest hybrid blowers and intelligent control systems deliver unmatched energy efficiency, adaptive performance, and lower operational costs—helping wastewater plants modernize aeration for a smarter, more sustainable future.

  • Do We Have To Sacrifice Performance To Be Green?

    The global use of membranes is widespread in municipal, industrial, and wastewater applications with reverse osmosis (RO) proving to be a highly effective and reliable method of advanced water treatment.  Reuse applications have been particularly challenging for water treatment chemical companies as these highly variable feedwaters can contain any imaginable constituent, resulting in a wide array of site specific foulants.

  • A More Measured World Of Water

    Measurement is critical to the water industry. Whether it’s improving efficiency levels, investing in infrastructure or funding innovation – one thing is certain, accuracy matters and the sums have to add up.

  • Significant Upgrades Enable City Of Atherton To Meet State's DNR Discharge Requirements

    Built in the 1980s, Little Blue Valley Sewer District operates Atherton, which was designed to reduce the primary process chain to preliminary bar screening and aerated grit removal, while relying solely on secondary treatment performed in four, standalone 42-ft by 400-ft aeration/clarification basins. Read the full case study to learn how upgrading the activated sludge process with a combination of Xylem’s Flygt pumps and mixers created a solution for the city’s sewer district.

    The following article highlights four key advances in Coriolis flow measurement’s journey from the 1970s to today.

WASTEWATER APPLICATION NOTES

WASTEWATER PRODUCTS

In wastewater treatment, aerobic digestion enables plants to increase their capacity by injecting oxygen into the wastewater head space.

When applied to plant influents, hydrogen peroxide destroys dissolved and/or total sulfide that otherwise scavenges Fe3+ added for CEPT and/or chemical phosphorus removal from wastewater. The foundational aspect of this PRI-TECH application (called PRI-CEPT) is that one lb of total sulfide theoretically consumes 3.5 lbs Fe3+ and thus represents an additional cost of $2 – 3 per lb influent sulfide.

Each aerator shall be capable of producing 3.0 lbs. of oxygen per nameplate horsepower per hour under normal conditions during aeration. Each 15 HP aerator shall be capable of pumping and mixing approximately 2,016,000 gallons per day under normal conditions and continuous operation

Screen and capture stormwater trash, organic matter and sediment, then store it dry to prevent nutrient pollution.

The MCS Odor Control Systems are single stage, skid-mounted, dry media systems, designed for relatively lower odor levels and organic odors. The media may be virgin activated carbon or any of a number of specialty catalytic carbon media. Standard models are available to treat up to 1,400 cfm (2400 m3/h) of odorous air.

Water reuse is no longer a choice. It’s a necessity. Orenco’s AdvanTex Treatment Systems consistently produce clear effluent that meets the most stringent permit limits.
