Aeration Considerations: What To Know Before You Buy

Unlike most municipal wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) applications, industrial wastewater can vary widely from one application to another, even within the same plant, depending on the process being run. Industrial wastewater professionals — especially those facing specific challenges or planned volume increases — can benefit from comparing key points of differentiation in jet aeration system options before making any upgrade.

RentEZ Program Enables Rapid Repair Of Water Storage Tank Line

Testing Better Paths To Contaminant Control

As a utility, it is tough enough to be notified that you need to remove a new contaminant of emerging concern (CEC). It’s even harder without having a complete picture of what is involved. 

15 Steps To Identifying Your Best WTP & WWTP Flow Metering Options

There’s a lot to be said for the old adage, “Use the right tool for the job.” When it comes to flow meters for municipal or industrial water treatment plant (WTP) and wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) operations, however, the sheer number of choices can be overwhelming. That is where using a process of elimination to winnow out styles that don’t fit the performance criteria of an application can make it easier to compare the few remaining options. Here is a checklist of considerations to accelerate that process.

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.

Case Study: YSI Multiparameter Instruments Assist In Storm Water And Combined Sewer Overflow Monitoring The city of Indianapolis, Indiana has been monitoring surface water quality of the White River and its tributaries since 1991. Each year the Indianapolis Office of Environmental Services (OES) collects nearly 6,000 samples from 27 locations. Two specialized programs, Continuous Dissolved Oxygen and Critical DO, are designed to collect data during periods when the potential exists for dissolved oxygen problems

The Role Of Real-Time Data In Sewer Inspection

With real-time data, calculations can be done automatically, numbers are always where you need them, and manual data entry is limited or completely unnecessary.

Almost 400 AMERICAN Flow Control® Valves And Hydrants With ALPHA™ Restrained Joints Installed In Pennsylvania

What’s better than one AMERICAN Flow Control® valve or hydrant with an ALPHA™ restrained joint end? How about almost 400? The Houtzdale Municipal Authority is installing more than 300 resilient wedge gate valves with ALPHA restrained joint ends and almost 60 American-Darling® B-62-B fire hydrants with ALPHA bases as part of the water authority’s distribution replacement project. Work began June 2019 and is expected to be completed June 2020.

Lab Gas Sub-Metering Accuracy Improves With Thermal Flow Meters To Save Money

Facility administrators will find the advanced ST100 Series Thermal Mass Air/Gas Flow Meter from Fluid Components International (FCI) helps them improve the accuracy of specialty gas point of use and sub-metering operations to achieve accurate billing in their labs for better cost tracking and control.

Best Practices In Moist And Wet Gas Flow

The Wet Gas MASSter sensor is for use in applications that have a high level of moisture or condensation present in the gas flow stream that cannot otherwise be removed.

Determination Of Polar Pesticide Residues In Food Of Plant Origin, By And Automate QuPPe Solution

The QuEChERS (Quick-Easy-Cheap-Effective-Rugged-Safe) sample extraction method was developed for the determination of pesticide residues in agricultural commodities.

TOC Monitoring In Process Return Condensate

Industrial power plants or co-generation power plants utilize steam for industrial purposes other than power production.

Dissolved Oxygen Measurement In Wastewater Treatment

A wastewater treatment plant separates solids from the liquid, and consists of two basic stages: primary treatment and secondary treatment.

Optimizing pH Control In Biomanufacturing With Pulsafeeder NextStep® Pump

Precise pH control is critical in biomanufacturing processes to ensure product quality, consistency, and safety. This application note explores the challenges of pH management across bioprocessing stages and introduces Pulsafeeder’s NextStep pump as a reliable solution for accurate chemical dosing and process stability.

Nitrogen-Reduction Treatment Systems For Long-Term Operations

The need for of nitrogen-reducing wastewater treatment systems has become more common in the past few decades due to various environmental concerns, including eutrophication, oxygen depletion, and toxicity to aquatic organisms in lakes and streams. The addition of nitrogen removal to any wastewater treatment plant, new or existing, typically increases the costs of the project significantly. When evaluating suitable technologies, it becomes critical to properly identify processes that can not only proved the best upfront capital value but also provide the most sustainable long-term functionality.

Flexible Expansion Joints Provide Protection For Pipelines Subject To Subtle Or Sudden Movement

Flex-Tend flexible expansion joints have a proven record of providing protection for pipelines subject to subtle or sudden movement. As with all products used in the water and wastewater industry, protection is optimized with the selection of the proper assembly incorporated into a sound design. This paper is intended to provide assistance in both of these areas.
