To move forward with long-overdue infrastructure upgrades, Nodra AB needed a wastewater bypass solution capable of lifting up to 3,000 liters per second into its Slottshagens treatment plant. Xylem’s Rental Solutions team set up a turnkey wastewater bypass station in a little over three weeks.

Every year, an estimated 10 trillion gallons of untreated stormwater runoff containing raw sewage, fertilizer, oil, pesticides, bacteria and other pollutants enter U.S. streams, rivers and oceans from city sewer systems, polluting the environment and drinking water supplies. In many urban and suburban areas, this runoff also causes significant flooding.

The City of Durham, NC, completed a comprehensive wastewater master plan that evaluated different treatment techniques for meeting strict total nitrogen (TN) limits at the South Durham Water Reclamation Facility (SDWRF).

China has implemented more stringent environmental standards in recent years. Local environmental protection departments now require urban wastewater treatment plants to apply strict enforcement measures to meet effluent discharge standards.

ClearBlu provided duplexing in-ground lift stations and a self-cleaning waterfall hydroscreen for the brewery who self-installed the equipment.  ClearBlu design and instructions made it possible for the brewery to install the lift stations and screen themselves, as well as to have the screen stand fabricated locally.  ClearBlu lift stations are fabricated from fiberglass which resists deterioration from acidic wastewater and are self-cleaning.  Round basins can be stirred so that they never have to be cleaned out.

Scum is not a substance that anyone in a wastewater treatment plants wants to deal with. Scum, the greasy substance that floats to the surface of clarifiers, gets nastier as it accumulates. Some smaller wastewater treatment plants mix their scum back into other processing streams while other larger plants treat their scum separately. The City of Fort Worth takes a unique approach in managing its scum and now turns what was once a liability into an asset.

In this article, see if you can identify your own trouble spots and uncover potential solutions to get you back on the road to good pump health – boosting profits along the way. 

Grit buildup that is ignored or improperly addressed can have profound effects on both treatment efficiency and maintenance costs, even if it does not impact effluent quality. Here are some of the cost implications and physical effects of inefficient grit removal, along with some important considerations on the impacts of letting grit go unmanaged.

When operators can’t keep up with routine maintenance and inspection, collection systems are at a higher risk of failure, and they stand little chance against significant weather events.

Water and wastewater piping come in a variety of materials, joints, and diameters. They can meet a multitude of demands and needs for the country's infrastructure.

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

This application note explores the importance of maintaining a delicate balance in reverse osmosis systems to protect RO membranes.

The 2000PV is a restraint for PVC pipe and the standardized mechanical joint. This product is the result of years of testing and evaluation and its performance has been proven by thousands of hours of proof tests, as well as third-party evaluations. This report describes the 2000PV through the 12" size.

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