Ductile iron pipe is a versatile, reliable solution that resists UV degradation, freezing, and physical stress. Its unmatched durability ensures long-term performance in any piping application.

WASTEWATER CASE STUDIES AND WHITEPAPERS

  • UV System Saves Energy And Reduces Maintenance

    After a 17-year run, a plant’s UV disinfection system was limping toward the finish line. The city needed to identify a replacement UV system that fit into the same channel, offered lower power consumption, and contained a practical ease of maintenance to reduce the amount of labor consumed on the equipment. The new system requires dramatically less power to run while simultaneously streamlining upkeep.

  • How One Company Created An Easy, Affordable Way To Stop Damage From Wipes

    Toilet paper. The most essential product necessary to life besides food and water. Also cited as the first item to run out at supermarkets during an emergency. For those who live in disaster-prone areas, keeping a stockpile is normal. But for everyone else, a few extra rolls of toilet paper is just a routine part of a grocery trip. So what happened when families everywhere panic bought toilet paper to get through an extended lockdown?

  • Constructing A Winding Box Culvert Channel In A Steep, Rocky Canyon

    Special precast box culverts were used for one of the most significant segments of the $25.8 million emergency water restoration project, designated by the NRCS, known as the Cache Water Restoration Project (CWRP). The CWRP project involved the reconstruction and improvement of approximately six miles of mostly open, unlined channels that make up the Logan and Northern, as well as the Hyde Park and Smithfield canals. The project incorporated new precast pipeline, box culverts, a section of pressurized pipe, metering systems, turn-outs, head gates, and improved maintenance access.

  • 'Smart Water' Benefits Without 'Big Data' Intimidation

    For water treatment plants (WTPs) and wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) pressured to do more with their data despite being pinched by a tight budget and a need to retrain employees, a new strategy can make all the difference. Here is how one such approach makes ‘smart water’ analytics less intimidating and how it has helped one utility make more cost-effective decisions while saving precious time and money.

  • 4 Key Design Criteria For Jet Mixers

    Jet mixers are widely used in both municipal and industrial wastewater treatment facilities to blend the plant influent and suspend light organic solids in circular equalization tanks. 

  • How To Remove FOG Deposits And Prevent Sewer Overflow

    Fats, oils, and grease (FOG) deposits present a problem for the wastewater industry as they create sewer lines blockages that lead to overflow. Digester systems can successfully remove these deposits with the latest environmentally friendly technology by breaking them down into microparticulates. This paper offers a technical review of the solutions available for applications such as commercial and residential lift stations, grease traps, and wet wells.

  • Finding Your Team's Ideal AI Inspection Solution

    The rippling effects of AI-powered defect coding alone are quickly changing the way municipalities approach sewer maintenance and asset management.

  • White Paper: Surface Aeration Revisited The intention of this paper is to have a critical review of the theory and practice of today’s Waste Water Aeration Technology
  • Domestic Wastewater Treatment In Telluride, CO

    Last Dollar is a year-round residential community located just outside of Telluride, Colorado. The facility had been reliant on an aging treatment system that was failing quickly and needed immediate replacement to prevent operational fines. The current technology would not meet the new and more stringent effluent requirements in Colorado, so the project had to be completed quickly and within a tight budget. AquaWorks DBO provided the permitting and site engineering support to ensure the project was completed in 8 months from contract award to system operation.

  • Pure Oxygen Injection Into A Pipeline

    The Hagerstown Wastewater Treatment Plant in Maryland incorporated several plant modifications, one of which was the conversion of their disinfection process from the use of ozone to UV.

WASTEWATER APPLICATION NOTES

WASTEWATER PRODUCTS

Discfilters are an ideal filtration system for tertiary filtration and wastewater reuse. By employing woven cloth filter elements installed vertically on multiple discs, the Discfilter supplies a large filter area within a small footprint that is up to 75% smaller than a traditional sand or multimedia filter which means a lower total installed cost.

Ideal usage for priming assisted pumps: Construction site dewatering, sewer bypass, tank cleaning, flood management, and municipal projects.

Veolia’s STREAMLINER™ range of de-oiling hydrocyclones incorporates unique design features to improve reliability, performance and efficiency for produced water treatment processes.

HYMAX GRIP  joins and restrains a wide selection of pipes of different types and diameters, easily and reliably. Due to its patented design, it allows the joining of pipes of the same or different materials and diameters and preventing axial pipe movement.

With more than 60 years’ experience supplying dewatering pumps to some of the most demanding sites around the world, Xylem has designed the Flygt 2600 series to stand up to the toughest conditions.

A water purveyor was in urgent need of a chemically resistant flow instrumentation with a long life of service that allowed reliable and long-term stable dosing of the sodium hypochlorite solution.
