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.

WASTEWATER CASE STUDIES AND WHITEPAPERS

  • Get It Out: Effective Removal Of Inorganics

    Modern wastewater treatment processes are not designed to operate with inorganic solids in the waste stream. While grinders are typically a cost-effective method for protecting the pumps at pump stations, there are other critical junctures within a treatment plant where operators have an opportunity to protect valuable assets with screening technology.

  • Grinders, Shredders And Comminutors – An Evolving Technology

    Comminution technology has been evolving quite rapidly in response to the increasing burden entrained solids have placed on treatment facilities. More advanced devices have been developed in rapid succession. The result has been an exciting and fluid race between the leading manufacturers to develop the best size reduction device. The latest grinder innovations to be introduced have coupled the power of twin shaft grinding with higher flow capabilities and screw screening systems. Here’s a rundown on the past and present state of the art in wastewater solids reduction.

  • Demystifying Explosion Proof Submersible Pumps

    When the discussion turns to requirements for “explosion-proof” pumps, many people rely on word of mouth, past practices or even old wives tales it seems. By Kevin Clemons

  • Aerzen's Hybrid Screw Blowers: Shaping The Future Of Sustainable Wastewater Management

    Read how Aerzen’s next-generation hybrid screw blower redefines what it means to merge performance with sustainability in wastewater aeration systems.

  • Accurate Sludge Conditioning For Good Dewatering Results

    Where should I put the sludge? There is a consensus among wastewater plant operators and other industry groups that the subject of sludge will take on more importance in the future. The reasons for this are the increasingly strict controls on discharge methods and the obvious cost burden of every cubic meter of sludge.

  • Why It's Time To View Plastic Pipe In A Whole New Light

    Because recent advances in plastic materials and processing have led to a new generation of plastic piping systems to handle challenging water and chemical environments, it is important to understand why some older piping choices might no longer be the best bet. Here are some key reasons to consider new plastic-piping choices for municipal and industrial water/wastewater applications in a whole new light.

  • Dual Mixers Overcome Stratification And Prevent Ice Formation In Concrete Tank With Baffles

    The climate in Southgate, Ontario, is considered cold and temperate with significant rainfall throughout the year. Temperatures in winter average around -10°C and can drop as low as -30°C to -40°C for brief periods of time, which can wreak havoc on the local water storage tanks and distribution piping. Read more to learn how the installation of PAX Mixers has kept the tanks free from ice and has shown an improvement in disinfectant residual levels.

  • Impact Of Real-Time NH3-N Monitoring In Wastewater Treatment Plants

    In this white paper, learn how real-time monitoring of ammonia (NH₃) and nitrogen (N) in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) can be a game-changer for optimizing treatment performance and energy efficiency.

  • Rice University Fights Clogs And Saves $20K Every Six Months

    With Xylem's Flygt Concertor solution, Rice University now avoids clogs and callouts caused by grease and debris, as well as costly recurring equipment replacement. 

  • Jet Aeration Systems: A Tool For Improved SBR Operation

    Sequencing Batch Reactors (SBRs) are a variation of the activated sludge process that combine treatment steps into a single basin. Based on a fill-and-draw method, major phases of the SBR process include a cycle of fill (with or without aeration), react, settle, decant, and idle. Today, successful flow control strategies have made SBRs state-of-the-art technology. SBRs are commonly used today and are especially beneficial for many industrial applications.

WASTEWATER APPLICATION NOTES

WASTEWATER PRODUCTS

This application note explores how Greenline pumps enhance odor control systems by delivering precise chemical dosing for odor mitigation and pH control, ensuring cleaner air and improved quality of life.  

Limits of Detection and Quantitation are key to understanding analytical instrumentation capabilities, especially when non-optimal process control can lead to damage of sensitive equipment due to insufficiently accurate readings.

All-purpose plastic filters from 3/4" to 3", for flow rates up to 220 gpm.

Testing for dioxins and PCBs in environmental samples can be challenging due to matrix effects and the need to be able to detect these compounds at very low levels. 

The Dioxin and PCB analysis brochure covers a variety of topics:

  • Dioxin prep system for thorough cleanup with significant time-savings
  • ORBO™-1000 samplers for collecting dioxins/furans and PCBs from air
  • GC columns suitable for analysis of dioxins and PCBs
  • SupraSolv® high quality solvents for trace GC analysis
  • Certified reference materials and analytical standards for accurate analysis

The JCS Industries Model 420-T Ton Mounted Vacuum Regulator is designed for years of safe and reliable service.

The Mass Transfer Systems radial jet pod aerators are designed with jet aeration nozzles installed around the circumference of an integral liquid / air pod body. This configuration is most applicable for smaller round and square tanks and sequence batch reactors where directional flow patterns are not desirable.
