krohne Why You Should Replace Differential Pressure Transmitters With Radar

Replacing DP transmitters with 80 GHz radar eliminates density errors, reduces maintenance, and simplifies installation — delivering safer, more reliable level measurement for modern wastewater systems.

WASTEWATER CASE STUDIES AND WHITEPAPERS

  • The Challenge Of Flow Disturbances On Meter Accuracy

    Accurately measuring flow is critical for water utility operations. Also, regulatory agencies mandate flow monitoring and require annual calibration of meters. But even a meter in perfect condition and properly calibrated can read inaccurately. Flow disturbances are a common cause of accuracy and repeatability errors.

  • DELUMPER® LP Crusher Improves Cocoa Butter Processing

    Chef Rubber, based in Las Vegas, Nevada, is a manufacturer and distributor of specialty supplies for chefs and well-known confectioners. The products include silicones, molds, colorants and colored cocoa butter. These unique tools are widely used by artisan chefs to create edible works of art for special events, competitions and other artistic applications.

  • Corrosion In Wastewater Systems: More Than One Bug

    The role of various bacteria in the destruction of concrete in wastewater systems has been recognized since 1945. Already susceptible to old age, wastewater infrastructure systems are also threatened by corrosive bacteria — but they needn't be. By Heather Ramsey, John Davis, and Gary Hall

  • Optimizing Wastewater Treatment Through Measurement

    In this white paper, discover how digital measurement is helping to maximize wastewater treatment efficiency. 

  • A Wastewater Solution With Low Capital Costs

    Along the Indian River Lagoon adjacent to Vero Beach, Florida, both residents and government officials were becoming increasingly concerned about excessive nutrient loads and pollution.

  • Resolving High PH For Mining Operations

    For an open-pit taconite mining operation in Minnesota, high pH groundwater required round-the-clock pumping to comply with discharge permit limits. After management installed a control system to neutralize the pH, the treated water leaving the site now meets permit limits. Read this case study to learn more about the installed system and results.

  • EPA Researchers Develop Tool To Assess Onsite Non-Potable Water Reuse For Buildings Across The U.S.

    Increasing pressure on water resources has led to greater water scarcity and a growing demand for enough clean water. Many communities across the country have initiated, or are in the process of developing, centralized systems for planned water reuse. Water reuse is the concept of intentionally recycling, treating, and reusing alternative water sources. Federal government agencies and the water user community are coordinating their efforts to advance the adoption of water reuse and ensure the security, sustainability, and resilience of water resources. The National Water Reuse Action Plan (WRAP) describes these collaborative actions.

  • Treatment Plant Upgrade Eases Operations And Increases Safety

    Now in operation for well over two years in the Malambo, Colombia, the Microclor® system has proven itself in terms of reliability and safety. According to management, the clear, vertically-oriented cells and the system’s open architecture allow for easy inspection and simplify any minor maintenance that might be required.

  • How Industrial Facilities Can Achieve Compliance And Prevent Downstream Contamination Using Advanced Oxidation Processes

    Read about how advanced oxidation processes can offer exceptional benefits in preventing contaminants from leaching into groundwater and surface water. 

  • In-Situ Oxygenation System Enables Increase In Capacity For Municipal Wastewater Treatment Facility

    To increase capacity within the existing footprint of a wastewater treatment facility in Michigan, two existing tanks were converted to aeration tanks with pure-oxygen aeration provided by Praxair’s In-Situ Oxygenation (I-SOTM) System.

WASTEWATER APPLICATION NOTES

WASTEWATER PRODUCTS

What’s the best way to fight odors in the wastewater industry? Add a little oxygen. Adding Praxair’s pure oxygen to your existing process can raise the level of dissolved oxygen enough to reduce odors without further action. Even better, the use of a Praxair oxygen acetates treatment system will lower costs and help you meet your environmental goals. Our systems help you manage peak demand and increase capacity while reducing Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) emissions.

Designed to treat stormwater run-off and manage erosion control from larger drainage areas, the Series Stormceptor can more than double the treated stormwater drainage area of the In-Line Stormceptor System.

Are you wipes ready?
Wipes and rags are clogging pumps and damaging wastewater treatment systems. NEW Wipes Ready technologies from JWC will keep your systems running efficiently.

ClearBlu provides sophisticated wastewater treatment equipment scaled to small to large size craft brewers.  This allows brewers to stage in treatment as it’s required by the municipality, or if you are located in an area without sewer access.  We also provide complete systems in package or pond format.

The new generation of Xylem Field Smart Technology (FST) product is an advanced telemetry and cloud based system that allows you to monitor and control your pump from anywhere in the world.  

This application note explores a test which demonstrated significant improvements in Oil-in-Water monitoring of industrial wastewater in comparison to the weekly grab sample analysis method.

LATEST INSIGHTS ON WASTEWATER

  • With the rise of water scarcity, environmental regulations, and corporate sustainability mandates, produced water treatment has become a strategic imperative for industries far beyond oil and gas. It is one of the fastest-growing segments in the water treatment industry, which has emerged as an amalgamation of environmental stewardship, regulatory compliance, and technological innovation.
  • 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.
