Accurate measurement and control technologies are essential for achieving sustainability in water and wastewater operations by reducing energy use, minimizing losses, and optimizing chemical dosing.

Understanding ISE Measurements In Wastewater Process Monitoring

Analytic measuring technique provides a huge number of procedures to determine the concentrations of substances in an unknown sample, e.g. photometry, titration or mass spectrometry.

A Greener, Simpler, And More Cost-Effective Approach To Wastewater Reuse

As water reuse becomes a critical part of water security, municipal water utilities will increasingly be under pressure to incorporate cost-effective reuse schemes in their daily operations. It's time for a new solution. 

Use Of Low Voltage Conductivity To Conduct A 10km Inspection Of Legacy Cured-In-Place Pipe For A Leak Assessment Project

In 2017, the Institute of Underground Infrastructure (IKT), Gelsenkirchen, Germany, utilized low voltage conductivity to test a variety of trenchless Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) short-liners to locate and quantify leaks, several of which were utilized in a multi-million rehabilitation project in Kansas City, Missouri (USA).

Problems And Solutions To Wipes In Wastewater Treatment Systems

Blockages often occur in residential and municipal sewer systems from accumulation of disposable wipes in wastewater treatment systems. The pipes, pumps and other equipment that process flushable waste in wastewater treatment systems are often not capable of handling such waste.

Concord, Massachusetts WWTP - A Low-Cost, 20-Year Solution To Ever-Tightening Phosphorus Limits

Prior to 2007, Concord, Massachusetts wastewater treatment plant operated under a NPDES permit that allowed a seasonal phosphorus limit of 0.7 mg/L. But with the issuance of a new five-year permit with a phosphorus limit of 0.2 mg/L and the probability that future limits could reach as low as 0.05 mg/L, Concord needed a treatment solution that would be reliable and cost-effective today and over the long term.

Ready For The Storm: Bar Screens That Are At Their Best During Nature's Worst

Duperon’s stormwater line of products was designed to address the unique challenges faced in screening stormwater during storms.

Wastewater Plant Cuts Mechanical Aeration Run Time With Solar-Powered Circulation Technology In the Buckeye State, the village of St. Henry, OH, is bucking the trend of many rural farming communities. Instead of losing residents and local businesses to bigger cities, this community is growing. Local industries such as turkey processing are expanding as well.

Channel Monster Cuts Maintenance Costs And Protects Pumps In Santa Ana

In recent years maintenance operators at the Segerstrom Lift Station located in the City of Santa Ana, CA have noticed an escalation in pump ragging and blockages. Engineers sought the help of a well-known and highly recommended wastewater treatment manufacturer.

Determination Of Pesticide Residues In Honey, By An Automated QuEChERS Solution

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

2 Applications That Triggered The Rise Of Coriolis Flow Measurement

Coriolis measurement has been adopted as a default technology in many application scenarios due to its high accuracy and immunity to process variables (temperature, pressure and flow profile). However, Coriolis wasn't always widely accepted. Two applications, in particular, helped what was once a nascent flow measurement technology gain a foothold in the marketplace.

Flow And Concentration Measurement For Automated Sludge Thickening

Learn how a wastewater treatment plant in eastern Switzerland relies on the targeted use of flocculants to prevent sludge washout. 

Harmonics Reduction Methods

There are several basic methods for reducing harmonic voltage and current distortion from nonlinear distribution loads such as adjustable frequency drives (AFDs). Following is a description of each method, along with each method’s advantages and disadvantages.

Flow Monitoring In The Partially Filled Discharge Of A Rainwater Retention Basin

Read about managing water discharge into a mixed water drainage system, electromagnetic flow measurement of water loads, and automated discharge control by way of a structure with overflow. 

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.

Recording & Control: Online Data Recording And Control In Anaerobic Digestion Processes

Solids present in wastewater need to be safely and comprehensively treated and removed. This means not only removing toxic compounds, including both organic and inorganic materials such as heavy metals, but also eliminating any harmful bacteria present in the solids.

Analyzing Total Organic Carbon In Sea Water

The analysis of Total Organic Carbon (TOC) in seawater can be both challenging and expensive. The concentration of organic carbon in seawater is of considerable interest. The effect this matrix can have on TOC analyzers can lead to rapid consumable turnover, costly maintenance and repairs.

Managing Storm And Surface Water With ForeSITE UL Monitoring System

As flooding increases along coastal and river-adjacent communities, the need for low-cost, reliable monitoring and warning systems has become a critical factor for managing these issues in real time, without requiring major infrastructure overhauls.

Microbial Control In Cheese Making

Microbial contamination of food and beverage products is a potentially catastrophic occurrence resulting in foodborne illness or food spoilage. The same nutritive properties that render cheese and dairy products such a valuable food also provide an ideal growth medium for microbes if contamination occurs.
