Throughout the last half-century the municipal and industrial wastewater treatment industry has depended heavily upon the use of waste lagoons in order to provide relatively clean water that could be returned to the environment. These are often called stabilization lagoons.

In late March 2016, an estimated 60-foot wide by 35-foot deep sinkhole developed in Tarpon Springs, Florida, leading to the evacuation of several homes. The sinkhole engulfed part of a nearby road and damaged two sewer lines and a water line.

In order to improve the treatment performance (because of the continued cost to maintain compliance), and ensure that it would eventually have the treatment capacity to meet future population growth equivalent of up to 225,000,

Monitoring nitrates, total suspended solids and sludge volume concentrations ensures effluent quality, which is critical for meeting water quality standards for various regulatory agencies. By Endress+Hauser, Inc.

In August 2004, tests were conducted on 2 Primary Aerated stabilization basins with approximately 2,200 horse power (hp) of aeration capacity.

The Prince William County Service Authority carefully considers its impact to the environment when conducting wastewater treatment.

Automated metering systems (AMSs) or “smart meters” can provide valuable data for electric and water utilities. Data analytics can be used to improve customer service, boost conservation, monitor the system, and even forecast demand. An ultimate goal might be to eventually monitor everything from streetlight intensity to fire hydrants.

Built in the 1980s, Little Blue Valley Sewer District operates Atherton, which was designed to reduce the primary process chain to preliminary bar screening and aerated grit removal, while relying solely on secondary treatment performed in four, standalone 42-ft by 400-ft aeration/clarification basins. Read the full case study to learn how upgrading the activated sludge process with a combination of Xylem’s Flygt pumps and mixers created a solution for the city’s sewer district.

Highways and bridges are the most noticeable examples of the United States’ crumbling infrastructure, but there are other, less visible infrastructure systems that are equally in need of fixes and funding -- including water and wastewater treatment.

The Deep Tunnel Sewerage System (DTSS) is an efficient and cost-efficient solution to meet Singapore’s long-term needs for used water collection, treatment, reclamation and disposal. Conceptualised and managed by PUB, Singapore’s National Water Agency, it was conceived as a cost-effective and sustainable solution to meet Singapore’s long-term used water needs.

This application note explores the importance of maintaining a delicate balance in reverse osmosis systems to protect RO membranes.

We arm farmers with mission-critical water data to help enhance crop yield and taste. KETOS delivers valuable insights for fluctuations in deficiency and toxicity.

Many are turning to UV as an effective barrier to enable the reuse of wastewater, for indirect reuse, and aquifer recharge.

The art of manufacturing steel for industries is well over 100 years old. Within this time, the steel business has fulfilled consumer needs, including construction, transportation, and manufacturing. The steel manufacturing process is quite intensive as it requires a lot of water to cool down the application. Steel plants constantly look for strategies that can help sustain the steel for a longer time by efficiently improving water and energy consumption.

Learn how a wastewater treatment plant in eastern Switzerland relies on the targeted use of flocculants to prevent sludge washout. 

Hexanal is one of many well-documented aromatic components that contribute to flavor and aroma in common consumer food products containing omega-6 fatty acids. Hexanal content is also used to measure the oxidative status of foods rich in omega-6 fatty acids.

Waste water, or raw sewage, is water that drains from toilets, sinks, showers, baths, dishwashers, washing machines and liquid industrial wastes.

Radar technology is often viewed as the “best” method of level measurement, but this isn’t necessarily true in the water industry.

As flooding increases along coastal and river-adjacent communities, the need for low-cost, reliable monitoring and warning systems has become a critical factor for managing these issues in real time, without requiring major infrastructure overhauls.

Achieve superior accuracy in water monitoring by utilizing differential electrode technology. This design eliminates ground loops and reduces drift, ensuring reliable data and longer intervals between calibrations in demanding process and laboratory environments.
