Al Shamal is the capital city of the municipality of Madinat ash Shamal in Qatar. With the majority of the town's population not yet connected to a sewer network, there was an immediate need to provide a wastewater treatment plant to treat wastewater generated from the towns' population and small industries. Ashghal, the Public Works Authority of Qatar and its end user, decided to install a tanker discharge facility with a compact sewage treatment plant to produce effluent suitable for reuse in irrigation.

Workers Surpass Several Water-Related Challenges At UNC-Wilmington

As the nation’s wastewater infrastructure continues to age and the demands on its systems continue to grow, a proactive approach to upgrades and enhancements is paramount. However, important wastewater projects involving aeration systems have often been delayed by utilities because of the high costs associated with temporary air while the project unfolds. Rental solution providers can have a significantly positive impact on the overall cost of a project, allowing the work to move forward.

Recently, ASCE released its Infrastructure Report Card, giving the nation’s drinking water infrastructure a D: in poor to fair condition and mostly below standard. Many water utilities and communities are doing the hard but necessary thing in finding the resources to upgrade their aging water infrastructure. And, for those in earthquake prone areas, hopefully considering an earthquake resistant system.

Nitrogen and phosphorus are two wastewater constituents that, together, pose one of the most high-profile threats for consumers and the environment. An abundance of these elements is what ultimately leads to the formation of toxic algae in surface waters, an environmental issue that regularly gains mainstream headlines and, in some cases, poses an acute health risk to consumers.

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.

To optimize the chemical dosage to precipitate phosphates from waste- water, an orthophosphate ion analyzer is used, equipped with a reliable sampling system. By Endress+Hauser, Inc.

While UV AOP technology continues to gain traction, there are few regulations or standards for it, making it difficult for engineers to specify equipment size for new installations.

Wastewater treatment facilities have a tremendous opportunity to utilize the biogas they generate to lower energy costs and minimize odors. However, the practice isn’t as widespread as it could be, as the precision gas flow and methane content readings required to optimize the process often clash with the misconception that biogas is messy and difficult to measure reliably. With the proper equipment, it is possible to accurately measure biogas to cut emissions and reduce or eliminate the energy bill.

It is incumbent upon us that we understand what FOG (fats, oils, and grease) levels are before and after treatment with DO₂E Digesters (and Aerators, too). 

Explore how additional costs for analytical conductivity measurement can be eliminated. 

A new pipe-repair solution promises to save time and money, while also being sustainable, long-lasting, fully scalable, and safe for workers.

Read about the cloth media filter installations that have been operating in food and beverage wastewater plants for over 25 years.

To sustain the environment and smart community growth while protecting public health, engineers, municipal health officials, and regulators need innovative wastewater treatment solutions. The latest evolution of decentralized systems can efficiently handle residential and commercial daily flows and are a cost-effective alternative to the large, centralized wastewater treatment plants of the past. 

Hexanal is one of many well-documented aromatic components that contribute to flavor and aroma in common consumer food products containing omega-6 fatty acids. Hexanal content is also used to measure the oxidative status of foods rich in omega-6 fatty acids.

The raw sewage entering a wastewater treatment plant comes from a variety of sources. In addition to effluent from domestic users, effluent from industrial users and storm water run off can be present.

Level controllers have evolved to meet today’s environmental challenges and industry demands. Learn how they support improved process management and, ultimately, a better bottom line.

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.
