Putting Your Sustainability Objectives Into Practice

Organizations don’t earn Wall Street Journal recognition for being ranked ninth among the world’s most sustainably managed companies without a companywide commitment to embrace substantial operational changes. Here are examples of sustainability opportunities available in water treatment applications and how those opportunities can benefit utilities, water-consuming industries, consulting engineers, and construction contractors.

Retrofit Significantly Reduces Backwash Cycle Interval, Duration And Water Use For Georgia Utility

A Leopold filter system helped save the North Columbus Resource Facility approximately 1,000,000 gallons of water per day that was previously used for backwash purposes.

Stone Brewing Chooses Blue-White To Assist With Water Reclamation

Environmentally responsible California brewery ethically purifies 100,000 gallons per day of its wastewater with Blue-White’s Peristaltic Chemical Metering Pumps.

Reducing Odor & Corrosion

Veolia faced the daunting challenge of managing two large WWTP’s as well as finding a better and more cost effective solution for odor and corrosion control.

Grundfos Solutions For Industrial Water Reuse

Water is such a fundamental necessity for life that it is often taken for granted. In modern industrial societies, the water from every tap is expected to be so pure that we can drink it without a second thought. However, the reality is much more complicated. Mankind is becoming increasingly aware that fresh water is a rarity, and the process of water treatment is vitally importance to us all. This white paper is intended to introduce the reader to the many elements that constitute the water reuse process.

Case Study: Orange County SWRF Utilizes 8 AquaDisk® Filters To Assist In Meeting Its Multi-faceted Reuse Program

Orange County SWRF utilized Aqua-Aerobic Systems' products to upgrade aeration process, sludge processing systems, more aeration tanks, a three-pass, modified step-feed process and four large clarifiers with return activated sludge systems.

Coal Yard Runoff Compliance Using Actiflo® Technology

Storm water runoff from a 37-acre coal storage yard utilized as part of daily operations at an industrial site in Southwestern Pennsylvania posed a problem when the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) updated the facility’s NPDES permit.

A Wastewater Solution With Low Capital Costs

Along the Indian River Lagoon adjacent to Vero Beach, Florida, both residents and government officials were becoming increasingly concerned about excessive nutrient loads and pollution.

Case Study: Real-time Continuous Nitrate Monitoring Provides A Window On Nutrient Loading In Lake Pontchartrain Louisiana's Lake Pontchartrain Basin lies at the mouth of the Mississippi Delta and squarely in the sights of water quality experts from around the world. The Lake Pontchartrain Basin is an esturarine system that has been significantly disturbed by the construction of the Mississippi River Gulf Outlet in the 1960s as well as agriculture, logging and development in the area. The lake's increasing salinity and shrinking wetlands have garnered significant attention, as has the nitrate-laden water rushing past the basin through the MRGO just below Pontchartrain's southern shore

8 Ways MBR Assists Your Utility In Emergency Response

Whether it’s a hurricane, flood, fire, or extended power outage, the systems that sustain communities are often the first to be tested. And among all treatment technologies available, membrane bioreactors (MBRs) have proven uniquely resilient, helping utilities recover faster, maintain compliance longer, and protect the environment when stress is highest.

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.

Optimizing Brine Flow In A Geothermal Power Plant

Different flow meter technologies were used in this geothermal power plant to monitor and measure brine. However, these traditional technologies failed. That’s where Panametrics PT900 Portable Ultrasonic Flowmeter was able to help.

Magnetic Flow Meters Improve Recycling Of Gas Well-Produced Water

As old gas & oil fields play out, newer methods must be used to extract resources from areas where they are locked in layers of shale. One current technique is known as “fraccing,” in which high pressure water is pumped into the well shaft to “fracture” the rock layers, allowing more natural gas to escape and be collected. However, this technique poses a number of environmental problems, including contamination of water with hydrocarbons, solid particulates, and scale producing ions — making it unsuitable for reuse.

Microbial Control In Cheese Making

Microbial contamination of food and beverage products is a potentially catastrophic occurrence resulting in foodborne illness or food spoilage. The same nutritive properties that render cheese and dairy products such a valuable food also provide an ideal growth medium for microbes if contamination occurs.

How One Wastewater Treatment Plant Saved Time And Money Measuring Turbidity And TSS The wastewater treatment plant of a major corporation is designed for a population capacity of 6 million people and is considered a very large wastewater treatment plant.

MEGA-STOP Bell Protection System Aids In Pipe Joint Assembly

Water and wastewater piping come in a variety of materials, joints, and diameters. They can meet a multitude of demands and needs for the country's infrastructure.

Simultaneous Measurement Of Flow And Electrical Conductivity

Explore how additional costs for analytical conductivity measurement can be eliminated. 

Nitrogen-Reduction Treatment Systems For Long-Term Operations

The need for of nitrogen-reducing wastewater treatment systems has become more common in the past few decades due to various environmental concerns, including eutrophication, oxygen depletion, and toxicity to aquatic organisms in lakes and streams. The addition of nitrogen removal to any wastewater treatment plant, new or existing, typically increases the costs of the project significantly. When evaluating suitable technologies, it becomes critical to properly identify processes that can not only proved the best upfront capital value but also provide the most sustainable long-term functionality.

Determining Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) With Lovibond® OxiDirect

The Biochemical Oxygen Demand over a testing period of n days (BODn) is precisely defined and associated with experimental standards. It represents the quantity of oxygen aspirated in the course of aerobic breakdown of organic substances by microorganisms.

Application Bulletin: Reverse Osmosis

Osmosis is the phenomenon of lower dissolved solids in water passing through a semi-permeable membrane into higher dissolved solids water until a near equilibrium is reached
