What To Know Before You Invest In New Headworks Equipment

Successful headworks investments depend on understanding site needs, matching technology to application, evaluating total cost of ownership, and choosing vendors that prioritize long-term performance and reliable support.

Sustainability: It's More Than A Buzzword; It's A Way Of Doing Business

For water treatment decision-makers already sensitive to issues involving water scarcity, energy consumption, and environmental stewardship, the concept of sustainability is more than just a buzzword. It is becoming a means of survival in response to changing climate impacts, high energy costs, public scrutiny, and limited financial resources. Here is how better awareness, focus, and execution can make sustainability a reality.

Integrating MBRs Into Mixed-Use Developments

Diverse wastewater flows from mixed-use projects strain conventional systems. Learn how advanced biological treatment stabilizes unpredictable loads, ensures compliance, and delivers high-quality water suitable for reuse.

Microbiological Monitoring Of Paints Using 2^nd Generation ATP

A paint manufacturer produces a wide range of paint products for industrial, commercial, and residential applications. The products are manufactured in large batches of up to 10 tons. Before each batch is packaged and shipped, a number of tests are performed to ensure that the product meets strict quality control requirements. 

SDOX® Units Keep Tyson Foods Operating Without Interruption

BlueInGreen replaced two failed blowers with two SDOX units for Tyson Food's regional wastewater treatment plant without disrupting operations. 

Case Study: Online Colorimetric System For The Chemical Phosphate Precipitation Process Optimization

To optimize the chemical dosage to precipitate phosphates from waste- water, an orthophosphate ion analyzer is used, equipped with a reliable sampling system. By Endress+Hauser, Inc.

Ozone Makes A Comeback

Ozone has been a proven effective method of water treatment and disinfection for well over a century.

FGD Purge Treatment In Coal-Fired Power Generation

Stricter environmental policies and regulations worldwide are changing how industry approaches all aspects of business. Likewise, EU (European Union) environmental policies governing air, soil, and water quality have become progressively stringent.

These policy changes affect the power industry’s balance of meeting growing European energy demands with compliance to environmental standards. In order to conform with EU standards specific for flue gas, a coalfired generation plant (at the time owned by Endesa, Italia, S.p.A.) in Monfalcone, Italy, undertook the measure of installing a state-of-the-art FGD (flue gas desulfurization) system at their facility. This system would remove SO2 (sulfur dioxide) from the emissions for the 336 MW coal-fired power station.

Estimating Groundwater Infiltration In Sewers

In this white paper, explore the performance and guidelines for proper application of four methods for estimating groundwater infiltration.

Case Study: Royal Environmental Systems And Water Tectonics Design State-Of-The-Art Stormwater Treatment System Located 20 miles east of Seattle, WA, Redmond is home to 50,000 residents and many high-tech and biomedical companies, including Microsoft. Redmond’s downtown drainage area is dominated by commercial, industrial, and roadway areas, with typical surface pavement contaminants such as metals, nutrients, and sediments. To help prevent stormwater runoff from harming local waterways, the city developed stringent stormwater regulations and sought a permanent stormwater treatment system that exceeded existing environmental guidelines

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.

Process Monitoring And Control For Increased Productivity And Efficiency

The Littleton/Englewood wastewater treatment plant, Colorado, put in place processes to effectively monitor the levels of ammonia in their wastewater treatment.

Orion DUAL STAR™ Quick Start Note - Nitrate In Water & Wastewater The Thermo Scientific Orion DUAL STAR meter shows the results of both input channels simultaneously.

Sink Or Swim: A Comparison Of Submersible And Surface Mixers For Anoxic And Anaerobic Tank Mixing

With increasing requirements for enhanced nutrient removal, many wastewater plants are adding anoxic and/or anaerobic tanks in their secondary treatment systems. There are multiple options for enhanced nutrient removal including, but not limited to, the A2O (Anaerobic, Anoxic, Aerobic) process, the UCT or MUCT (Modified University of Cape Town) process and the Bardenpho process.

Performance Test Services For UV Advanced Oxidation Systems

UV AOP performance verification requires a robust test matrix covering design, operating, and control conditions. This process includes on-site execution, sample analysis, and troubleshooting to achieve successful regulatory approval.

Application Note: Testing Nitrite In Surface Water And Wastewater The Thermo Scientific Orion AQUAfast® AQ3700 Colorimeter comes programmed with methods for testing nutrients. By Thermo Fisher Scientific

Improved Efficiencies In TOC Wastewater Analysis For Standard Method 5310B And EPA Method 415 Total organic carbon (TOC) measurement is of vital importance to the operation of water treatment due to organic compounds comprising a large group of water pollutants. TOC has been around for many years, and although it is a relatively simple analysis in theory, operational efficiency is paramount.

Pikeville, Kentucky Medical Center Leak Found Despite Ambient Noise

Leaks found in 60 psi high density PE pipe by FELL in less than three hours. Acoustic and CCTV failed to find any leaks after more than a year of investigation. Read the full case study to learn more. 

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.

What Are You Doing To My Pipe: Can PVC Pipe Be Loaded?

The argument has been used that PVC pipe is delicate and can’t be subjected to any kind of loading. In EBAA's years of testing we have found that is not the case at all. PVC can take an extreme amount of strain.
