There’s no good time to interrupt production at a manufacturing facility. For a worldwide leader in audio equipment, halting production for a facility maintenance project leading up to the busy holiday season was not an option.

After Hurricane Katrina, the Army Corps of Engineers moved quickly to fast-track a multi-billion-dollar infrastructure project to shore up the Southeast Louisiana Flood Protection System – a project that had been stalled for decades. As part of this effort, Pentair was commissioned to build 11 massive pumps to be installed along the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (GIWW) just south of New Orleans.

Read about three of the most pressing wastewater challenges utilities face today and how Stratmoor Hills, Key West Resort Utilities, and Beijing Water Group are using advanced treatment and reuse to overcome them.

Opened a few months per year, seasonal establishments typically experience important fluctuations in the number of visitors. Energy consumption and operating expenses must continually be analysed and optimized. The implementation of efficient energy management practices and the integration of innovative wastewater treatment solutions that can improve their cost-efficiency ratio have become major sources of savings for this whole industry.

Previously the crew at Payson WWTP wrestled with clogs that required constant attention and increased system downtimes. With the installation of the new headworks, the comparison was stark because suddenly the flow from the headworks was debris-free.

Accurate flow measurement is critical for process control and regulatory compliance. Flow meters are essential instruments for water and wastewater facilities, installed at multiple locations throughout entire systems. For the most part, these are permanent installations. However, portable flow instruments prove beneficial in certain situations.

Meeting modern water reuse goals requires moving past legacy disinfection. Advances in UV technology now provide chemical-free, reliable pathogen inactivation for even high-flow, open-channel tertiary treatment.

Two municipalities were faced with odor issues and required corrosion prevention in their collection systems. Monitoring in the sewer lines indicated peak H₂S atmospheric concentrations of 300-500 ppm. Both clients desired H₂S < 20 mg/L to prevent corrosion and preferably lower to prevent H2S odor.

Handwheel or automated process valve? The worldwide trend is clearly moving towards automation, because it reduces energy and water consumption, especially rinsing water, and increases plant availability. Pneumatic automation of a fixed-bed filter is a good example of this.

As the Coronavirus pandemic is upending life across the country, it is also putting a major strain on the nation’s wastewater systems.

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

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.

A static headspace method was developed using Teledyne Tekmar automated headspace vial samplers to meet the method requirements of the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau of the US Department of the Treasury (TTB) method SSD: TM:2001 for testing fusel alcohols in alcoholic beverages.

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

A water management company in Serbia used Panametrics' ultrasonic flow meter technology for stormwater management, ensuring reliable measurement and accuracy in challenging conditions. The technology allowed for live monitoring of water transfer and reduced the risk of flooding.

This application note explores Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) systems that have been installed worldwide in a variety of applications, ranging from a few gallons per minute (GPM) to thousands of GPM.

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

Lack of sufficient straight pipe run made it impossible to successfully apply the preferred magnetic flow meter (magmeter) to accurately measure the flow of raw sewage.
