WASTEWATER CASE STUDIES AND WHITEPAPERS

  • Do You Think Your CCTV Assessment Is "Unbiased"?

    Improper inspection can lead to inefficient repair methods, having you spend too much or too little to create a longer-lasting, impactful reduction in infiltration to your sewer collection system. At the very least, it creates the worst thing of all: distrust for the entire study. 

  • Aeration And Mixing Bring Hussain Sagar Lake's Ecosystem Back To Life

    Hussain Sagar Lake in India faced an inflow of untreated waste and pollution causing decreasing DO levels and foul odors in the nearby community.

  • Cutting-Edge Solutions For Coking Wastewater Reuse To Meet The Standard Of Circulation Cooling Systems

    Coking wastewater generated from the processes of coking, coke gas purification, and recovery of coking products, is highly toxic and carcinogenic. The wastewater usually contains phenolic, aromatic, heterocyclic, and polycyclic organics, and some inorganics, such as cyanides, sulfides, ammonium, ammonia, and so on, which makes it hardly degradable.

  • Stormwater Treatment and Reuse - Toronto, Ontario

    Sherbourne Common is an innovative waterfront park that provides the public with green recreational space along Lake Ontario in a former industrial area. 

  • Expect The Unexpected: Handling The Unknowns Of Septage Receiving

    Wastewater treatment plants provide a viable option to accept and process the collected septage. However, the sheer concentration of the transported sludge can potentially cause plant upsets in smaller WWTP facilities.

  • Special Gas Chlorination System Replaces Tablet System At WWTP, Providing Enhanced Safety Needed For Gas Option, While Cutting Chemical Costs

    The district manager for the Pinetop-Lakeside Sanitary District (AZ) reports that a special gas chlorination system, featuring unique components and controls, and manufacturer-supplied service, has effectively replaced a chlorine tablet system.

  • Bench Test Instructions For Your Case Study

    Natura Solve provides a complex liquid medium that is produced via a proprietary fermentation process. It consists of a selected spectrum of naturally occurring microorganisms, sustained within a matrix of micro elements and macro elements that provide the critical building blocks for respiration and growth. Thus it simultaneously works as both a biocatalyst, stimulating endogenous bacteria metabolic and production rate and a specialized delivery medium for the highly effective bacteria. The formula is very aggressive due to the essential balance between the selected groups of microorganisms, which, when combined with the enzymes they produce, synergistically create catalyzing proteins that significantly speed up the biochemical reactions and natural decomposition processes of the organic material into humic matter.

  • AquaSBR® Replaces 60-Year-Old Treatment Plant

    The Moab Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) was initially constructed in the late 1950’s to provide primary treatment of domestic wastewater for the Moab area. However, the plant could no longer keep up with the higher flows and loading due to population growth and rising tourism. In addition, with aging infrastructure and the new permit cycle in sight, upgrades to the biological treatment were necessary to ensure full compliance. Read the full case study to learn more.

  • IMS Biological Odor Control Systems Protects The 2013 Sustainable GCC Project-Of-The-Year From Odors

    Olayan Voltas Contracting Company was awarded the 2013 “Sustainable GCC Project-of-the-Year” by MEP Middle East magazine for the utility complex at Al Bustan Village, a brand new residential community north of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

  • Elaborate Stormwater System Saves Time And Money In Florida Project

    A stormwater management system designed for a new convenience store in Sarasota, FL, required a sophisticated and elaborate approach. When it was completed earlier this year, the complex system resulted in huge money and time savings for the property owner, which will enable the store to open this fall.

WASTEWATER APPLICATION NOTES

WASTEWATER PRODUCTS

Flex-Tend flexible expansion joints have a proven record of providing protection for pipelines subject to subtle or sudden movement. As with all products used in the water and wastewater industry, protection is optimized with the selection of the proper assembly incorporated into a sound design. This paper is intended to provide assistance in both of these areas.

LATEST INSIGHTS ON WASTEWATER

  • A shift in how we approach source water protection is long overdue. Currently, we are trapped in a cycle of escalating costs, forced to treat symptoms like algae and invasive weeds expediently with chemicals while the underlying risk in the reservoir compounds. True risk management requires breaking this cycle.
  • Einstein once said of compound interest, "He who understands it, earns it. He who doesn't, pays it." The same logic of compounding applies to the organic sediment accumulating on the floor of your drinking water reservoir. The longer you wait to address it, the more exponentially expensive it becomes to fix.
  • Our infrastructure systems have operated in managed deterioration for decades. And not surprisingly, once they deteriorate badly enough and cross over into active failure, all cost discipline disappears.
  • Every day, food scraps disappear into trash bags, are hauled away, and forgotten. But that waste could be turned into something productive.

  • Currently, water infrastructure is outdated and fragile, prone to breakages and leaks. Reactive approaches to water infrastructure are only implemented after an incident and are more expensive than simple maintenance fixes. Geotechnical Internet of Things (IoT) devices enable water and wastewater industry professionals to identify and address issues before they escalate into catastrophic events.
  • Traditional gravity sewers rely on large-diameter mains, deep trenches, and often multiple lift stations — elements that carry significant capital and restoration costs, particularly in rural or rugged terrain. To improve cost efficiency and sustainability, many municipalities are adopting decentralized collection systems such as Septic Tank Effluent Pump (STEP) systems, Septic Tank Effluent Gravity (STEG) systems, and liquid-only sewers.
