    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.

  • How One Wastewater Treatment Plant Saved Time And Money Measuring Turbidity And TSS The wastewater treatment plant of a major corporation is designed for a population capacity of 6 million people and is considered a very large wastewater treatment plant.
  • Reduced Bore Electromagnetic Flowmeter

    Being able to accurately measure both the quantity and rate of water passing through a water distribution system is crucial to gain an informed understanding of overall efficiency. As such, achieving a measurement that is exact as possible can have a significant impact on key areas. This includes supply planning, maintenance, resource deployment, leakage detection and the overall environment.

  • Pile Cloth Media Filtration Removes 97% Of Microplastics From Wastewater

    Learn about filtering microplastics from industrial wastewater prior to discharge, and how this is one way to effectively reduce the volume of this waste material from entering our surface water.

  • Oxygen Content In Wastewater Digester Gas

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

  • Optimizing Air Flows To Aeration Basins

    As a result of clean energy mandates and the rising cost of energy, wastewater treatment facilities around the country are retrofitting their instrumentation to run highly efficient, cost-effective, clean facilities. To reduce emissions and produce clean energy, solid wastes are often digested in large digester tanks to reduce the volume of waste (sludge) and produce more biogas, which is then used as fuel in the cogeneration process. However, a clean environment calls for not just clean air and clean energy, but clean water as well.

WASTEWATER PRODUCTS

Phosphorus and nitrogen, while necessary elements for life, when concentrated in the effluent of a wastewater treatment plant, are harmful to the environment, especially aquatic plants and animals. When concentrated amounts of these elements enter bodies of water, it causes algae blooms, which reduces dissolved oxygen in the water and can be damaging to animal populations. It can be a very serious problem for natural areas downstream of industrial or municipal discharge.
