WASTEWATER CASE STUDIES AND WHITEPAPERS

WASTEWATER APPLICATION NOTES

  • Municipal Real-Time Water Quality Monitoring

    We arm municipalities with actionable data necessary to make informed decisions about water quality in their communities

  • Sewage Pump Station Level Application

    The most common level application in the water and waste water industry is the infamous wet well. With its line-of-sight measurement technology, rugged sensor, narrow laser beam and virtually nonexistent maintenance requirements or on-site calibration, ABB’s LLT100 laser level transmitter answers most concerns related to wet well level measurements and makes it easy to calculate what could amount to a substantial return on investment.

  • Improved Efficiencies In TOC Wastewater Analysis For Standard Method 5310B And EPA Method 415 Total organic carbon (TOC) measurement is of vital importance to the operation of water treatment due to organic compounds comprising a large group of water pollutants. TOC has been around for many years, and although it is a relatively simple analysis in theory, operational efficiency is paramount.
  • Mapping And Identifying The Source Of Water Quality Issues

    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.

  • Pile Cloth Media Filtration For Clean Utilities

    Cooling towers and boilers consume the most fresh water in the industry, with industrial process waters carrying the balance. Power plants and refineries use more water volume for the cooling process than any other area of the facility. Mining and food and beverage industries consume higher volumes for their processes. Clean water may come from a range of sources, including clarified surface waters, groundwater or properly treated wastewater (reuse) sources.

  • Reduced Bore Electromagnetic Flowmeter

    Being able to accurately measure both the quantity and rate of water passing through a water distribution system is crucial to gain an informed understanding of overall efficiency. As such, achieving a measurement that is exact as possible can have a significant impact on key areas. This includes supply planning, maintenance, resource deployment, leakage detection and the overall environment.

  • What Is Genclean Advanced Oxidation Disinfection Solution And What Is It Used For?

    A non-toxic, advanced oxidation (AOP) formula of minerals chelated with oxygen and stabilized in an aqueous water solution. It is a viable option in industries and applications requiring a solution to challenging situations where high level effective sanitization and oxidation is required. Read more to learn how the Genclean advanced oxidation treatment solutions can be used in different applications.

  • Biogas Measurement From Wastewater To Power Plant

    Stockholm water company produces biogas from their wastewater facility which feeds Scandinavian Biogas for energy production. As they need to accurately meter what they sell to the energy facility they used a project contractor firm to engineer and define the best solution for the project.

  • Greenline In Wastewater Treatment For Pollution Control - Improving Environmental Quality Through Advanced Chemical Dosing Solutions

    This application note explores how Greenline pumps enhance odor control systems by delivering precise chemical dosing for odor mitigation and pH control, ensuring cleaner air and improved quality of life.  

  • Instruments For Environmental Applications

    Keeping the water in our lakes, rivers, and streams clean requires monitoring of water quality at many points. Over the years ever increasing environmental concerns and regulations have heightened the need for increased diligence and tighter restrictions on wastewater quality.

The SCREENMASTER® RT internally fed rotary screen employs a rotating drum to provide effective fine screening of a variety of materials with a simple and reliable design. This unit employs a cylindrical screen constructed with perforated metal, wedge wire or filter cloth along with a weir system. As the material is fed into the unit’s inlet, it is distributed along the internal screen surfaces.

LATEST INSIGHTS ON WASTEWATER

  • Einstein once said of compound interest, "He who understands it, earns it. He who doesn't, pays it." The same logic of compounding applies to the organic sediment accumulating on the floor of your drinking water reservoir. The longer you wait to address it, the more exponentially expensive it becomes to fix.
  • Our infrastructure systems have operated in managed deterioration for decades. And not surprisingly, once they deteriorate badly enough and cross over into active failure, all cost discipline disappears.
  • Every day, food scraps disappear into trash bags, are hauled away, and forgotten. But that waste could be turned into something productive.

  • Currently, water infrastructure is outdated and fragile, prone to breakages and leaks. Reactive approaches to water infrastructure are only implemented after an incident and are more expensive than simple maintenance fixes. Geotechnical Internet of Things (IoT) devices enable water and wastewater industry professionals to identify and address issues before they escalate into catastrophic events.
  • Traditional gravity sewers rely on large-diameter mains, deep trenches, and often multiple lift stations — elements that carry significant capital and restoration costs, particularly in rural or rugged terrain. To improve cost efficiency and sustainability, many municipalities are adopting decentralized collection systems such as Septic Tank Effluent Pump (STEP) systems, Septic Tank Effluent Gravity (STEG) systems, and liquid-only sewers.
  • Aeration control strategies often remain conservative and static. Blowers operate continuously, oxygen levels are maintained near maximum, and airflow rates are rarely adjusted in response to real-time biological demand. The result is widespread over-aeration — a condition that does not improve treatment performance but significantly increases operating costs.
