Aerzen’s Direct Drive Delta Hybrid blower boosts aeration efficiency with an optimized rotor profile, belt-free drive, improved cooling, and expanded turndown—cutting energy costs and simplifying long-term maintenance.

WASTEWATER CASE STUDIES AND WHITEPAPERS

  • The Proper Application Of Rotary Lobe And Rotary Screw Blower Technology

    Written by Kaeser’s system experts, this white paper compares rotary lobe and screw blowers, isochoric and isentropic compression, and how to properly apply these technologies for designing an energy efficient system.

  • Z-88® Radium Treatment Process - City Of Bridgeton, New Jersey

    This radium removal pilot study was conducted for the City of Bridgeton, New Jersey’s Well No. 19 treatment facility. The Bridgeton water system contains concentrations of radium and gross alpha in excess of the Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCL).

  • Aeration Considerations: What To Know Before You Buy

    Unlike most municipal wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) applications, industrial wastewater can vary widely from one application to another, even within the same plant, depending on the process being run. Industrial wastewater professionals — especially those facing specific challenges or planned volume increases — can benefit from comparing key points of differentiation in jet aeration system options before making any upgrade.

  • Getting Maintenance Work Done: In-House Or By Others

    The main objective for any Public Works department is to cost-effectively optimize resources – these include employees, equipment, materials, contracts, and physical assets. By Victor Valdovinos, P.E. and Harry C. Lorick, P.E., PWLF

  • ORP And pH — What You Don't Know Can Hurt You

    When I look back at 2016 one of the most significant trends I observed was the growing acceptance of ORP measurements, especially for monitoring disinfection. With one caveat, the ORP value measured in a solution provides an unambiguous measure of the disinfection efficacy.

  • Green Stormwater Infrastructure Is Having Its Day

    Not long ago, systems engineered to manage and mitigate stormwater runoff were predominately of the “gray” variety. Today, however, more and more municipalities are embracing green stormwater infrastructure (GSI).  

  • Flow Scheme Customization Features In TDG

    TDG recently reviewed some new features that enable the configuration of flow diversions. 

  • Ultrasonic Flow Measurement System Saves WWTP $72,500 Annually

    If the wastewater treatment plant serving Reading, PA, and 11 surrounding municipalities has a mission statement for its day-to-day operations, it couldn’t be simpler or more critical: “95°F.”

  • Emergency Chlorine Scrubber Refurbished After Inspection Reveals Serious Problems

    In December 2006, Integrity Municipal Services (IMS) was contacted by the City of California City Plant Manager Greg Fielding to perform an inspection of their RJ-2000® emergency chlorine vapor scrubber system.

  • Step Screen Replaced By Headworks

    In May 2008, Portland Water District installed 3 step screens in each of their 3 channels and in only 7 years of use, were facing maintenance & performance issues with the step screens. These screens were also affecting downstream processes.

WASTEWATER APPLICATION NOTES

Ten years ago, KLa Systems was presented with the challenge of finding a more wear-resistant material for our jet aeration nozzles and decided to upgrade to Kynar PVDF, which is extremely chemical and wear resistant.

Phosphorus and nitrogen, while necessary elements for life, when concentrated in the effluent of a wastewater treatment plant, are harmful to the environment, especially aquatic plants and animals. When concentrated amounts of these elements enter bodies of water, it causes algae blooms, which reduces dissolved oxygen in the water and can be damaging to animal populations. It can be a very serious problem for natural areas downstream of industrial or municipal discharge.

Meeting the demand for clean water has never been more challenging. Communities around the world are facing a growing water stress – an insufficient supply, in terms of water quality or water quantity – and often both. Many are turning to potable reuse and drinking water remediation to meet these demands. The TrojanUVFlex®AOP can be part of the solution. This UV advanced oxidation system destroys a range of chemical contaminants while simultaneously providing final treatment, helping municipalities relying on lower quality water sources to continue producing high-quality potable drinking water.

Schreiber’s Fuzzy Filter is a unique compressible media filter that very effectively replaces conventional media filtration and can be applied to a wide range of filtration applications in the industrial, municipal as well as commercial markets.

Steel Mini Frac Tank rentals are perfect for smaller sites where space is limited. 

The AURORA product combines the operating system of a conventional float-based magnetic level indicator (MLI) with the leading-edge Eclipse® guided wave radar transmitter developed for level measurement applications by Magnetrol®.
