With so many different safety concerns — government-mandated or self-imposed — municipal and industrial wastewater treatment operators have a lot on their plates. Maintaining aerators used in open-basin treatment applications is just one source of those safety concerns. That is why a new approach to safeguarding worker well-being in the process of aerator maintenance activities is worth a closer look.

The Suffolk County Department of Public Works tested the effectiveness and cost-efficiency of PRI-TECH® in controlling odors at a wastewater treatment plant. The technology successfully treated odors and reduced operating costs.

The full-scale advanced treatment system takes filtered secondary effluent from the neighboring OCSD treatment plant and converts it to water that exceeds all drinking water quality standards.

Finding just the right pump for an application can be quite a challenge, especially when the building presents several constraints. Sulzer updated a near antique installation.

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.

For private utility owners and operators, legacy infrastructure isn’t a sunk cost. It’s an opportunity. And with the right retrofit strategy, that aging wastewater treatment facility can become a stable, revenue-generating asset.

By leveraging natural surroundings, Xylem’s manufacturing facility in Emmaboda, Sweden, can recycle 100% of the plant’s process wastewater with its new water treatment. The plant helps ensure a continuous supply of safe water, even in times of water scarcity, using Xylem’s water reuse technologies.

Billerica, Massachusetts embodies an ideal American suburb – picturesque streets, quaint houses, inviting storefronts and a central city square perfect for socializing with fellow neighbors and visitors. Located just 50 minutes north of Boston, Billerica is also a prime spot for young families who want the convenience of a close-by city with the atmosphere of a restful community.

The City of Cumberland (MD) wastewater treatment plant could see wild swings in its dissolved oxygen (DO) levels until it replaced its air control system with Aerzen AERprocess, an intelligent airflow control system. Now, the city enjoys vastly improved DO control in individual zones and across the entire process, as well as significant savings on its energy bills.

A single operational oil and gas refinery produces millions of gallons of contaminated wastewater a year, leading to environmental pollution concerns. Ion exchange resins are a metal- and ion-removal solution to help clean this wastewater for plant reuse or safe disposal. This application guide explains how resins can be used to demineralize refinery water in process, boiler, and cooling water applications.

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.

This application profile focuses on two test sites with different treatment requirements and describes how Aqua-Aerobic Systems’ OptiFiber® pile cloth media filtration was used at both sites to address the removal of harmful constituents from refinery wastewater.

Excess ammonia in receiving waters causes algal blooms that decrease oxygen levels. For this reason, many wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) must limit ammonia in discharge. Mike Rousey, Hach Company

We arm farmers with mission-critical water data to help enhance crop yield and taste. KETOS delivers valuable insights for fluctuations in deficiency and toxicity.

Clean-in-Place (CIP) systems are critical for industries where hygiene and contamination control are mandatory—such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and specialty chemical manufacturing. These systems automate cleaning through validated, programmed steps that ensure compliance with stringent safety and quality standards. This application note explores the challenges of CIP operations and demonstrates how Pulsafeeder’s NextStep pump technology addresses these challenges with precision, reliability, and cost efficiency.

The Littleton/Englewood wastewater treatment plant, Colorado, put in place processes to effectively monitor the levels of ammonia in their wastewater treatment.

With increasing requirements for enhanced nutrient removal, many wastewater plants are adding anoxic and/or anaerobic tanks in their secondary treatment systems. There are multiple options for enhanced nutrient removal including, but not limited to, the A2O (Anaerobic, Anoxic, Aerobic) process, the UCT or MUCT (Modified University of Cape Town) process and the Bardenpho process.

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

Pulsafeeder has secured a significant order for its NextStep series of stepper motor-driven metering pumps, specifically for use in advanced Reverse Osmosis (RO) applications. This deployment underscores the growing demand for precision chemical dosing in high-performance water treatment systems. The order includes NextStep NS1 and NS9 models, each selected for their unique capabilities in high-pressure and low-pressure RO environments.
