Pile cloth media filtration treats wet weather flows in real time, increasing capacity, improving removal efficiency, and helping utilities reduce reliance on limited stormwater storage.

WASTEWATER CASE STUDIES AND WHITEPAPERS

  • HST™ Turbocompressor For Sky-High Savings In Wastewater Treatment

    The town of Fraser, Colorado, USA, with an annual mean temperature of 32.5°F is the coldest town in the lower 48 states and gets frost year-round. At an elevation of 8’574 feet, it is also the highest location for Sulzer’s HST 20 turbocompressor in the world. The Fraser WWTP high-speed blower upgrade was completed in early 2019, replacing older centrifugal blowers, which were loud and costly to operate.

  • Rapid Deployment Of Innovative Wastewater Treatment Solution In Texas Hill Country

    The BluBox MBR system was installed in a master-planned community, meeting water quality standards and providing a cost-effective solution. M|MBR Systems played a crucial role in plant operations and supported the community's rapid growth.

  • Cudo Stormwater Products - Shaping The Future Of Water Quality Cudo Stormwater Products, Inc. has launched a new approach to stormwater management, improving upon established technology with an easy to install and maintain system that addresses underground stormwater storage, infiltration, treatment, and rainwater harvesting. This innovative solution can be integrated into pre-designed bioretention systems or customized for new applications. By Kristar Enterprises, Inc.
  • The Rotostrainer Joins The Craft Beer Revolution

    Spent hops and general brewery wastewater are natural by-products of the beer-making process and must be reused or disposed of accordingly. Some brewers are charged substantial fines for dumping high-solids wastewater into the city sewer system. With Parkson Rotostrainers, over 90% of the Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) of wastewater can be filtered out, greatly reducing the city sewer charges. Many breweries can even sell much of the spent grain and other captured solids to local farms as livestock feed, thereby profiting on an otherwise ‘waste’ product.

  • Earthquake Resistant Ductile Iron Pipe, Valve, And Hydrant System

    Recently, ASCE released its Infrastructure Report Card, giving the nation’s drinking water infrastructure a D: in poor to fair condition and mostly below standard. Many water utilities and communities are doing the hard but necessary thing in finding the resources to upgrade their aging water infrastructure. And, for those in earthquake prone areas, hopefully considering an earthquake resistant system.

  • AltaPac™ AP-II Ultrafiltration Membrane Case Study

    Cibola is a small community located in Southern Arizona along the Colorado River. With a growing population, the community decided to install a centralized water system to replace individual wells.

  • Champion Paper Case Study

    In August 2004, tests were conducted on 2 Primary Aerated stabilization basins with approximately 2,200 horse power (hp) of aeration capacity.

  • Savings Helps MABRs Gain Traction In Municipalities

    An MABR is essentially a biological wastewater treatment process that utilizes seemingly passive aeration through oxygen-permeable membranes. Oxygen transfer through the MABR membranes is diffusion based: driven by concentration differences such that oxygen passes from air at atmospheric pressure into water at a higher hydrostatic pressure. This oxygen transfer mechanism, wherein air is supplied to the process at very low pressure, is the reason MABRs have significantly lower energy consumption compared to other wastewater treatment processes, such as conventional activated sludge (CAS), that utilize diffusers. This energy savings is one of the key reasons MABRs are gaining traction in the municipal wastewater industry.

  • Get It Out: Effective Removal Of Inorganics

    Modern wastewater treatment processes are not designed to operate with inorganic solids in the waste stream. While grinders are typically a cost-effective method for protecting the pumps at pump stations, there are other critical junctures within a treatment plant where operators have an opportunity to protect valuable assets with screening technology.

  • Pasteurized Equivalent Water Treatment At Tnuva Ba'Emek, Israel

    In the heart of Israel’s Jezreel Valley, Ba’emek Advanced Technologies—part of the Tnuva Group—faced a critical challenge: how to sustainably reuse water extracted from whey during dairy processing without compromising safety or quality.
