WOL_south-dearborn_385x250 Resolving Odor Complaints With Targeted Solutions Restore Community Confidence

The South Dearborn Regional Sewer District in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, provides regional wastewater treatment services for three cities and an international distillery. The 6 mgd treatment plant is located in an area of high population growth and is surrounded by many retail operations and other commercial developments. In addition, a heavily traveled state highway runs by the treatment plant.

WASTEWATER CASE STUDIES AND WHITEPAPERS

  • Selecting The Right Membrane Configuration For Your MBR Application

    Consider your wastewater treatment goals, and follow along with this article to learn more about how to work with your partner on an ideal MBR solution.

  • Changxing Power Plant Debuts The World's First Forward Osmosis-Based Zero Liquid Discharge Application

    Desalination Technology Transforms 650 m3/day of Abused Industrial Wastewater

  • Location, Location — The Key To Aeration

    As with any industrial process, the right tool for the job depends on the nature of the task at hand. In aerobic wastewater treatment, that optimal choice often comes down to a balance between the biological and financial demands of the application. Either way, here are several performance comparisons of how multiple aeration methods and locations stack up in industrial wastewater treatment applications.

  • Exploring WinCan-Based Mapping Workflows

    Read about a great way for operations managers to oversee broad day-to-day activity, while also having the ability to drill down into the specifics of an inspection.

  • Protecting Water Resources: A Multifaceted Approach

    As the cost of and demand for potable water increases, engineers, planners, and utilities need reliable, innovative methods for protecting this valuable resource. Cost-effective and environmentally sustainable wastewater collection and treatment systems are vital components in the water cycle and therefore require careful analysis. While there is no single solution for every site or community, traditional ‘big-pipe’ systems are rarely appropriate in sensitive environments; fortunately, today there are more options than ever to consider.

  • Why ASME PTC10 Is Not Sufficient To Define Testing Of A High Speed Turbo Blower

    The technology to produce low pressure air, an energy intensive ingredient in the wastewater process, has made significant steps forward in recent years. Unfortunately, the specifications for testing these new sophisticated air producers have not kept pace.

  • Article: Aerators Enhance Aerobic Digestion Process The city of Eden, N.C., operates an extended aeration process designed for an average flow rate of 13.5 mgd with a mixed liquor suspended solids concentration that typically checks in about 6,000 mg/l
  • FlexRake Bar Screens At 24+ Sites Around Houston Were Unaffected By Hurricane Harvey

    Despite the destruction of Hurricane Harvey in August 2017, Duperon wastewater screening systems in the cities of Cuero and Refugio, Texas – approximately 150 miles southwest of Houston – were virtually unaffected by the storm. Duperon’s FlexRake bar screens, installed at both locations as well as dozens of other sites in and around Houston, remove objects like rags, paper, plastics, and metals to prevent damage and clogging of downstream treatment equipment. Both communities found essentially no damage to their wastewater screening equipment.

  • MBBR Eliminates Odor Problems While Reaching Effluent Targets At Fish Processing Plant

    Based in Danvers, Massachusetts, High Liner Fishery Products was experiencing challenges with their existing wastewater treatment system. The plant was generating a myriad of problems, including: plugging, flies, and even odor complaints from neighboring residents. Read how High Liner solved their problems with the help of Headworks International.

  • Antiscalant Impacts Water Reclamation Efforts

    Water reuse efforts in the West Coast are a priority and have the Ground Water Replenishing System (GWRS) of the Orange County Water District (OCWD) utilizing new technologies for water conservation. 

WASTEWATER APPLICATION NOTES

WASTEWATER PRODUCTS

The Water Champ® FX Chemical Induction System from Evoqua has set the benchmark in chemical feed and disinfection with its innovative design and versatile applications for chlorination, dechlorination, chloramines, pH adjustment and rapid mix. The system provides superior mixing intensity maximizing chemical reaction while using less energy. Independent third party testing has proven that a Water Champ system can provide up to 40% better power to flow-rate ratios compared to other induction mixers or conventional methods.

The disc diffuser ROEFLEX® stands out for its simple and robust design. It consists of a unique, convex shaped support disc. The disc is covered by a flexible, slotted membrane of elastomer, a ring secures the membrane in place. Due to the disc’s unique convex shape the membrane is slightly lifted off the disc when air is supplied, therefore allowing an even distribution of the generated fine bubbles. The membrane can be delivered in different rubber (EPDM) qualities and slot patterns (HL, SL) according to the application.

Aria FAST mobile water units deliver the water you need, when and where you need it. Our mobile systems are easily installed and produce highquality water in as little as four hours after utility connections are complete.

Proven to dramatically increase capacity performance and help to meet tightening regulations.

Evaporation is an effective and reliable method to treat wastewaters that contain relatively high concentrations of total dissolved solids (TDS).

For any business involved in the handling of petroleum hydrocarbons, the threat of spills is serious. The Ontario Ministry of the Environment’s Spills Action Centre (SAC) recorded 2,516 hydrocarbon spills in 2006 (crude gasoline, jet fuel, kerosene and petroleum oils). That’s seven spills every day. Accidents happen. Protect the environment and protect your business from costly clean-up, remediation, litigation and fines with the Stormceptor Extended Oil Storage (EOS) system.
