Optimizing Air Flows To Aeration Basins
As a result of clean energy mandates and the rising cost of energy, wastewater treatment facilities around the country are retrofitting their instrumentation to run highly efficient, cost-effective, clean facilities. To reduce emissions and produce clean energy, solid wastes are often digested in large digester tanks to reduce the volume of waste (sludge) and produce more biogas, which is then used as fuel in the cogeneration process. However, a clean environment calls for not just clean air and clean energy, but clean water as well.

Dosing Of Sodium Hypochlorite Solution For Drinking Water Disinfection
A water purveyor was in urgent need of a chemically resistant flow instrumentation with a long life of service that allowed reliable and long-term stable dosing of the sodium hypochlorite solution.
-
Chlorine Measurement In Wastewater And Regulated Discharge Requirements
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

Traditional sewer systems, while effective, often require significant capital investment, invasive implementation measures, and complex maintenance. As a result, innovative decentralized wastewater solutions are necessary to address the needs of communities or commercial areas in need of wastewater service. One such solution is the liquid-only sewer (LOS) system.

While many scientific and technical reports show that floods are becoming larger and more common, reports underestimate how their frequency is changing. Flood sizes get the spotlight, but governments and experts need to also consider their frequency to address implications overlooked by traditional management methods.
-
In areas with storm drains, the water can quickly overwhelm the drains, causing flooding hazards. For this reason, many towns have ordinances dictating how much ground can be covered with impermeable substrates.
-
Technology like advanced process control systems can streamline operations, create opportunities to lower costs and emissions, and ensure effluent quality meets the highest standards. Research also indicates that implementing an appropriate control strategy can help reduce N2O emissions.
-
Strategic flow monitoring helps wastewater utilities curb overflows, cut costs, and safeguard public health by turning accurate data into proactive action.
