The Advantage Of The AERZEN Air Bearing Technology
The air foil bearing, allowing operation without the need for lubrication and maintenance, provides minimum life-cycle costs for the entire unit. Filtration is the only preventive maintenance which is necessary. The production costs of the complete assembly are very low due to the less expensive bearing technology in comparison to turbo compressors made with magnetic bearing this is a significant benefit in addition to reduced cost of eliminating necessary ancillary components such as bearing controllers, additional electrical filters and uninteruptable power sources.

2nd Generation ATAD Provides Superior Treatment
In a bold move to modernize its wastewater treatment, Bowling Green, Ohio, installed the state’s first second-generation Autothermal Thermophilic Aerobic Digestion (ATAD) system—ThermAer—in 2004. The upgrade expanded the plant’s capacity from 6 to 10 MGD and replaced an inefficient, odor-prone coarse-bubble aeration system.

How Fluorometers Are Revolutionizing Wastewater Treatment Plants
Wastewater treatment plants are tasked with removing contaminants from water before it’s safely released back into the environment. With the complexity and volume of wastewater treatment, traditional monitoring methods can be slow and labor-intensive. However, fluorometers are transforming how these plants operate by providing rapid, real-time measurements of water quality.

LATEST INSIGHTS ON WASTEWATER
-
The White House has finalized plans to roll back rules under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), narrowing its focus and limiting what the current administration claims are needless delays for federal approval of water, energy, and other infrastructure plans. For water and wastewater utilities, the changes could speed up permitting for critical projects, although experts warn the tradeoffs could do more harm than good.
-
Traditional sewer systems, while effective, often require significant capital investment, invasive implementation measures, and complex maintenance. As a result, innovative decentralized wastewater solutions are necessary to address the needs of communities or commercial areas in need of wastewater service. One such solution is the liquid-only sewer (LOS) system.
-
While many scientific and technical reports show that floods are becoming larger and more common, reports underestimate how their frequency is changing. Flood sizes get the spotlight, but governments and experts need to also consider their frequency to address implications overlooked by traditional management methods.
-
In areas with storm drains, the water can quickly overwhelm the drains, causing flooding hazards. For this reason, many towns have ordinances dictating how much ground can be covered with impermeable substrates.
-
Technology like advanced process control systems can streamline operations, create opportunities to lower costs and emissions, and ensure effluent quality meets the highest standards. Research also indicates that implementing an appropriate control strategy can help reduce N2O emissions.
