Repair Of Major Damage To High Density Polyethylene Wastewater Pipeline

Leprino Foods, the world's largest mozzarella cheese producer, operates two plants that share one wastewater pipeline – a 16” SDR11 High Density Polyethylene Pipeline (operating at approximately 160 PSI). During dirt work an “auger” hit the wastewater pipeline and drilled an 8” diameter hole in the line. Leprino needed immediate access to a repair fitting for this line.

Bio-Organic Flocculant Treatment For Phosphorus Removal: A Zeoturb Case Study

Regulating the discharge of phosphorus from industrial and municipal wastewater treatment plants is a primary factor in averting the eutrophication of surface water sources. Phosphorus is one of the key nutrients that contribute to this process in both lakes and natural waters. Its existence has caused major water quality issues such as the diminished recreational value of these surface waters, increased water treatment costs as well as the potentially lethal consequences of mycotoxins from algal growth.

How To Maximize Microbrewery Production Lines

A microbrewer’s expertise is in brewing, not engineering. Discover how you can get the most out of production lines without the costs associated with hiring outside engineers or experts.

Peaking Factors And Hydraulics In Wastewater Screen Sizing

Dealing with fine particulate matter, nutrients, and pathogens is essential for wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) striving to meet Clean Water Act (CWA) effluent standards. Before that stage, however, come important considerations about removing larger debris that can clog pumps, overload clarifiers, or disrupt other downstream processes.

Gas Transfer: Theory And Key Process Factors

This paper discusses gas transfer theory and key factors of the process along with sample applications using the Dif-Jet^TM including; transfer of CO₂ gas for pH neutralization of wastewater, for aeration and oxygenation, and for disinfection using ozone.

Improving Dissolved Air Quality With The AirWhip™ DAF Pump

Learn how incorporating the AirWhip™ pump technology into DAF systems can achieve efficient flotation, improving the quality of the dissolved air and allowing maximum adhesion to the floc particles.

The Straight Scoop On UPC/IAPMO Listed Grinder Pump Systems

At least two major sewage grinder pump manufacturers advertise their systems as having UPC/IAPMO listings. There has been some confusion as to what this listing really means. By Kevin Clemons

White Paper: Stormwater Retention For A Modular Green Roof Using Energy Balance Data New York City stormwater is a major cause of water pollution in the harbor and estuaries. This is due to the vast areas of impervious surfaces (e.g., rooftops, pavements, sidewalks) that rapidly shunt runoff into the combined sewage overflow (CSO) system.

TASKMASTER® TITAN® To The Rescue In Picturesque, Cobleskill, New York

The wastewater treatment plant in picturesque Cobleskill, New York, was unable to process the wastewater generated by the town’s 4,678 year- round residents. The buildup of plastics, rags, trash wrappings and other debris was regularly clogging the system, necessitating frequent cleanings.

Disk Thickener Technology Replaces Gravity Thickener, Improves Performance Of Digester

After two years operation the plant reports that RoS2S Disk Thickener is consistently producing a 5.5% DS average with an ~0.6% DS average feed at a steady flow of 107 gpm (60 gpm activated, 7 gpm trickling, 40 gpm service water) running 24 hours a day.

Optimizing pH Control In Biomanufacturing With Pulsafeeder NextStep® Pump

Precise pH control is critical in biomanufacturing processes to ensure product quality, consistency, and safety. This application note explores the challenges of pH management across bioprocessing stages and introduces Pulsafeeder’s NextStep pump as a reliable solution for accurate chemical dosing and process stability.

Greenline In Wastewater Treatment For Pollution Control - Improving Environmental Quality Through Advanced Chemical Dosing Solutions

This application note explores how Greenline pumps enhance odor control systems by delivering precise chemical dosing for odor mitigation and pH control, ensuring cleaner air and improved quality of life.  

Pikeville, Kentucky Medical Center Leak Found Despite Ambient Noise

Leaks found in 60 psi high density PE pipe by FELL in less than three hours. Acoustic and CCTV failed to find any leaks after more than a year of investigation. Read the full case study to learn more. 

Determination Of Polar Pesticide Residues In Food Of Plant Origin, By And Automate QuPPe Solution

The QuEChERS (Quick-Easy-Cheap-Effective-Rugged-Safe) sample extraction method was developed for the determination of pesticide residues in agricultural commodities.

Improved Efficiencies In TOC Wastewater Analysis For Standard Method 5310B And EPA Method 415 Total organic carbon (TOC) measurement is of vital importance to the operation of water treatment due to organic compounds comprising a large group of water pollutants. TOC has been around for many years, and although it is a relatively simple analysis in theory, operational efficiency is paramount.

What Are You Doing To My Pipe: Can PVC Pipe Be Loaded?

The argument has been used that PVC pipe is delicate and can’t be subjected to any kind of loading. In EBAA's years of testing we have found that is not the case at all. PVC can take an extreme amount of strain.

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.

Mapping And Identifying The Source Of Water Quality Issues

A Southern U.S. municipality experiencing taste and odor issues in a certain neighborhood was also having difficulty maintaining chlorine residual levels in the area. Biological growth was suspected, however, water leaving the treatment plant met and exceeded all water quality requirements. After several investigations, the source of contamination in the distribution system could still not be identified.
