When the Orange Wastewater Treatment Plant needed to replace its 20-year-old UV treatment system, it turned to Trojan for help.

For water treatment plants (WTPs) and wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) pressured to do more with their data despite being pinched by a tight budget and a need to retrain employees, a new strategy can make all the difference. Here is how one such approach makes ‘smart water’ analytics less intimidating and how it has helped one utility make more cost-effective decisions while saving precious time and money.

The Cowichan Valley Regional District (CVRD) in Vancouver Island, Canada teamed with Toray to successfully install several membrane bio-reactor (MBR) systems updated with new technology to expand capacity.

Learn about an easy-to-install system that works in conjunction with a variety of heavy duty motion sensing probes. 

Through the Water Independence Now program, WRD aims to provide 4 million residents in the Los Angeles region with an entirely local sustainable groundwater supply.

Using a single programmable controller such as Schneider Electric’s M580 Safety Controller to manage both process and safety systems can help speed up deployment, improve reliability and sustainability of operations, enhance cybersecurity, and support greater productivity and transparency.

This is the second in a series of three white papers describing the design and performance of the NeoTech Aqua ReFlex™ treatment chamber. The first describes in detail the theoretical basis for the very high efficiency demonstrated by the chamber. The third paper describes how this chamber design leads to some highly desirable operational advantages beyond just energy ad cost reduction. By J. R. Cooper, Ph. D. and Gwynne Cavender, NeoTech Aqua Solutions, Inc.

The Water and Sewer Authority of Cabarrus County (WSACC) serves selected water and sewer needs for five jurisdictions in south-central North Carolina — Cabarrus County, Concord, Kannapolis, Harrisburg and Mount Pleasant — providing wholesale wastewater transportation and treatment and reservoir management.

This article will explain why rain-dependent inflow and infiltration (RDI&I) measurement often fails and how to produce the level of data quality that can detect, understand, and manage it.

This paper describes a newly developed microprocessor-based thermal dispersion mass flow meter that uses four temperature sensing elements in its flow sensor instead of the traditional two elements and automatically manages changes in gas selection, gas temperature, gas pressure, and outside temperature. By John G. Olin, Ph.D., Founder/Chairman, Sierra Instruments

Read about the cloth media filter installations that have been operating in food and beverage wastewater plants for over 25 years.

Monitoring phosphate during the wastewater treatment process allows for fine-tuning and optimizing chemical dosing for removal of phosphate, which provides significant cost savings to the plant while protecting the aquatic environment downstream of the facility.

Siemens’ extensive portfolio includes various flow measurement technologies, such as Coriolis, clamp-on ultrasonic, vortex, and differential pressure meters, catering to a wide range of industrial needs.

Read about managing water discharge into a mixed water drainage system, electromagnetic flow measurement of water loads, and automated discharge control by way of a structure with overflow. 

A non-toxic, advanced oxidation (AOP) formula of minerals chelated with oxygen and stabilized in an aqueous water solution. It is a viable option in industries and applications requiring a solution to challenging situations where high level effective sanitization and oxidation is required. Read more to learn how the Genclean advanced oxidation treatment solutions can be used in different applications.

This application note explores a test which demonstrated significant improvements in Oil-in-Water monitoring of industrial wastewater in comparison to the weekly grab sample analysis method.

Homes, industry, schools, and businesses all generate sanitary waste, or sewage. Sewage treatment is a multistage process that cleans up wastewater before discharge or reuse. In the final step of the treatment, disinfectants are added to kill disease-causing organisms. Common disinfectants are chlorine gas and sodium hypochlorite. Chlorine dosage levels are designed to leave almost no residual in the wastewater after treatment

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.

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