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

  • Foods - Biochemical Oxygen Demand And Chemical Oxygen Demand

    A food manufacturer in Washington state had a source of well water contaminated with vegetable and fish oils. A five gallon sample was was sent to Kaselco for testing via our electrocoagulation process.

  • Pasteurized Equivalent Water Treatment At High Desert Milk, Idaho, US

    Learn how High Desert Milk, a cooperative in Idaho, optimized their water treatment process using HOD™ UV technology, ensuring FDA compliance while significantly reducing water and energy consumption.

  • Retrofitting Water Systems With The Best Meters For The Job

    Although not every water, wastewater, or industrial design engineer or operations manager is familiar with the advantages of the V-Cone differential-pressure (DP) meter design, they are certainly familiar with the problems it can solve. Here is a step-by-step description of how V-Cone meters with + 0.5 percent accuracy offer better alternatives in applications currently being failed by other metering technologies.

  • Screen Provides Critical Protection At 25 MGD MBR In North Las Vegas

    North Las Vegas’s field facility is an MBR plant that was brand new when Huber’s rotary fine screens were implemented as part of its new water treatment and reclamation process. The facility is “smart,” using a level of technology at which few large plants operate. Huber’s advanced fine screening technology plays a key role in the impressive and innovative technology lineup.

  • Depth By Design: How OptiFiber Cloth Filtration Media Achieves Superior Filtration And Lower Cost Of Ownership

    Not all cloth filtration media are created equal. OptiFiber®️’s woven depth filtration design delivers superior solids removal, more efficient backwashing, and longer lifespan —reducing total cost of ownership for wastewater utilities.

  • Field And Office Technologies Improve Stormwater Systems

    Although the city of Bozeman, Montana’s stormwater system has been silently producing front-page news for decades, it has typically only flowed into the spotlight because of an incident or an emergency.

  • A New Paradigm In Aeration Technology

    The DO2E organization sprang from one individual’s attempt to solve an aeration problem in a fish hatchery and realizing that his device to do so had many other applications as well. This device broke up algal blooms as well as aerating, and it was only a short step to modify it into breaking up FOG (fats, oils, and grease) deposits in grease traps and lift stations. This device was patented, thus DO2E was born.

  • Using Master Controls To Enhance Aeration And Reduce Power Use

    Precision management of dissolved oxygen (DO) allows wastewater treatment plant operators to maintain optimal biological conditions in their activated sludge basins. However, older blowers and a lack of advanced aeration oversight can sabotage that effort while substantially wasting money.

  • 7 Challenges Municipal Water Treatment Professionals Are Facing And How To Solve Them

    Solutions that offer instant, chemical-free disinfection, manage costs, handle high organic loads, and control emerging contaminants are defining the path forward for water facilities.

  • A New Platform For Safer Surface-Aerator Maintenance

    With so many different safety concerns — government-mandated or self-imposed — municipal and industrial wastewater treatment operators have a lot on their plates. Maintaining aerators used in open-basin treatment applications is just one source of those safety concerns. That is why a new approach to safeguarding worker well-being in the process of aerator maintenance activities is worth a closer look.

WASTEWATER APPLICATION NOTES

WASTEWATER PRODUCTS

Get efficient, economical grit dewatering at smaller plants with no washwater requirements.

AnMBR is the latest innovation in anaerobic reactor configuration: a combination of anaerobic digestion and membrane bioreactor technology, which concentrates solid digestate without the use of centrifuges or dissolved air flotation (DAF).

Traveling bridge clarifiers perform the same functions as circular clarifiers. Both water and wastewater applications are served by this bridge system, including both primary and secondary clarification.

IFAS (Integrated Film Activated Sludge) is an economical solution for the upgrade and expansion of existing activated sludge systems. IFAS is particularly suitable to plants where additional aerations basins cannot be accommodated.

Today, pressure measurement technology is often used for measuring liquids, pastes and gases. With a wide range of sensor technology Endress+Hauser offer instruments with perfect fit for any kind of application.

Grittec is a grit classifier that separates rock, sand, and grit from screened wastewater. A large surface tank allows screened material to settle to the bottom, where a shaftless screw conveys screened debris to a dumpster.

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.
