WASTEWATER CASE STUDIES AND WHITEPAPERS

  • High-Capacity Washer Compactors Compress More Debris, Save More Money

    Duperon’s new high-capacity washer compactor was designed to tackle the most difficult challenges while reducing overall operating costs.

  • Bio-Augmentation Product Eliminates Odor And Removes Sludge From Waste Lagoons

    Cabo San Lucus Mexico is known for its deep-water fishing, beautiful beaches, luxurious hotels, and as an overall vacation destination for travelers from around the world. 

  • EPA Creates Database To Find Thermal Treatment Processes For Remediating PFAS

    Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of synthetic chemicals that have been in use since the 1940s. PFAS are found in a wide array of consumer and industrial products. Due to their widespread use and persistence in the environment, most people in the United States have been exposed to PFAS. There is evidence that continued exposure above specific levels to certain PFAS may lead to adverse health effects.

  • How Can We Create A More Effective Densified Sludge?

    True densified sludge, achieved with time-based batch controls, improves settling, increases capacity, and enhances nutrient removal—delivering a compact, efficient, and cost-effective alternative to conventional activated sludge systems.

  • How To Improve Anaerobic Digestion And Turn Sludge Into Renewable Energy

    Anaerobic digestion is a critical element in a sludge management plan for wastewater treatment. Its role is to kill any pathogens in the raw sludge, produce a more desirable final product, and enhance the amount of biogas/energy generated by the process. The main issue is how best to improve the sludge quality without incurring excess costs.

  • Meeting The Growing Demand For Large Size Degasification Modules

    Sun Chemical Advanced Materials’ parent company, the DIC Corporation, is pleased to announce that it has expanded production capacity of its large size degasification module (LDM), SEPAREL® EF-120, by building a new plant.

  • How To Earn Straight 'A's For Water Accountability

    Specific needs for data accountability can vary widely across diverse market applications — industrial, municipal, agricultural, etc. Yet the underlying goal of each application is to gain the best insights for informed decision-making at the best overall value between capital expense and operating expense. Water monitoring Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) offers new ways to achieve exactly that.

  • The Minimalist Guide to Water Quality Analysis For Biological Nutrient Removal

    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.

  • Why Municipalities Need A Better Water Treatment Solution

    Municipal wastewater treatment is essential for protecting public health and maintaining environmental safety. One of the most crucial steps in this process is sanitization—eliminating harmful bacteria, viruses, and parasites before water is released back into the environment or reused.

  • Tips For Choosing A Jobsite Dewatering System

    Dewatering systems for construction sites aren’t one size fits all. Choosing the most appropriate dewatering system for the job will yield the best results in the least amount of time.

WASTEWATER APPLICATION NOTES

WASTEWATER PRODUCTS

Each measuring path is formed by two coordinated transducers that transmit ultrasonic signals back and forth through the pipe. Using the transmit and receive time difference between the two signals, caused by the flow in the pipe slowing the transit time against the flow and accelerating the time with the flow, the transmitter calculates the resulting flow measurement.

GENCLEAN™ AQ is an NSG 60 certified specialized advanced oxidation treatment specially developed for process water disinfection and wastewater treatment for food & beverage processing companies and fish farms.

The Aqua Guard® UltraClean™ represents the next generation of in-channel fine screening, outperforming the original design in side-by-side capture rate tests by over 50%. This superior performance comes from a series of patent-pending improvements in the “head” of the Aqua Guard® UltraClean™ screen, each drawn from over 30 years of experience with the classic Aqua Guard® platform. Designed with the operator in mind, the Aqua Guard® UltraClean™ also offers easier access to key areas of the screen such as the brush, which has been reengineered to reduce routine maintenance by up to 75% over the original version. The Aqua Guard® UltraClean™ technology is available both on new screens, and as a new “head” retrofit for existing Aqua Guard® element screens.

OPUS® II is a proprietary process for high recovery of complex wastewater streams. This new innovation uses CeraMem® ceramic membranes as pretreatment for reverse osmosis to reduce the system footprint. OPUS II can be delivered in modular, containerized units to minimize installation costs.

Like the original OPUS technology, OPUS II effectively removes silica, organics, hardness, boron, strontium and particulates. It generates high quality effluent at a high recovery rate, providing clean water for discharge, recycle or reuse.

The YSI Professional Plus handheld multiparameter meter provides extreme flexibility for the measurement of a variety of combinations for dissolved oxygen, conductivity, specific conductance, salinity, resistivity, total dissolved solids (TDS), pH, ORP, pH/ORP combination, ammonium (ammonia), nitrate, chloride and temperature.

The MEGA-STOP® is a safe and economical “over-insertion” solution. With it, you can properly and quickly assemble pipe joints each and every time.

LATEST INSIGHTS ON WASTEWATER

  • People around the globe are trying to figure out how to save, conserve, and reuse water in a variety of ways, including reusing treated sewage wastewater and removing valuable salts from seawater. But for all the clean water they may produce, those processes leave behind a type of liquid called brine. I’m working on getting the water out of that potential source, too.
  • As water systems become more circular and complex, understanding and managing the subsurface — the hidden half of the water cycle — is becoming a critical enabler of resilience. This article explores the key trends shaping this new reality, from tackling “forever chemicals” to the water strategies redefining heavy industry.
  • 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.
