In most standard drinking water and wastewater treatment systems, there is a flocculation process that is used to reduce the concentrations of solids within the effluent stream. This particular process makes use of substances that aid in the clumping together of suspended particles among other contaminants in a clarifier system.

Alternative wastewater collection systems, such as pressure sewers, provide affordable service to municipalities, new subdivisions, and areas where gravity sewers are difficult and expensive to install.

Badger Meter has and will continue to manufacture and provide products that meet the requirements of current and future lead-free standards. This white paper discusses these changing industry needs both as they relate to Badger Meter products and to water utilities in general.

In the design of wastewater treatment plants, aeration typically involves supply of both oxygen and mixing. Aeration is a large consumer of both energy and operational costs. The Aire-O₂ Triton aerator/mixer is a process aeration technology that addresses both of these aspects and is environmentally friendly, which is a winning formula to help achieve long term sustainability. By Cheri D. Cohen, Aeration Industries International, Inc.

As the operator of a wastewater plant, you may already have realized that not all blowers are alike. Therefore, one of the biggest decisions you have to make is which one is the optimal solution for your requirements.

From droughts to floods to leaking pipes, water utilities are under more pressure than ever. Traditional infrastructure wasn’t designed for today’s demands, but digital technology is helping close the gap. Tucson Water, Buffalo Sewer Authority and Hot Springs are three utilities leveraging Xylem’s intelligent solutions to identify and address issues before they happen – providing a cleaner, more reliable water supply for the communities they serve.

Following several years of piloting ion exchange resin for the removal of perfluorinated compounds, CKS Engineers needed to design and construct a full-scale system to treat the former military base stormwater runoff before entering Neshaminy Creek.

Discover how Aerzen’s new hybrid blowers are shaping the future of energy-efficient wastewater treatment while tackling the challenges of regulatory compliance.

Aerobic digestion and nitrification-denitrification work together thanks to an innovative membrane system

A submersible solids handling pump featuring a semi-open impeller and self-cleaning cutter plate solved a severe clogging issue. Operating without a single clog for over six months, the technology delivered "100% uptime" and freed up staff for other vital maintenance.

Energy costs continue to increase. At the same time, there is increased pressure to reduce utility bills without sacrificing operations or comfort.

The art of manufacturing steel for industries is well over 100 years old. Within this time, the steel business has fulfilled consumer needs, including construction, transportation, and manufacturing. The steel manufacturing process is quite intensive as it requires a lot of water to cool down the application. Steel plants constantly look for strategies that can help sustain the steel for a longer time by efficiently improving water and energy consumption.

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a large group of organic compounds found naturally in the environment. PAHs are monitored by the US Environmental Protection Agency due to their carcinogenic characteristics.

This application note presents comparative data obtained on influent and effluent wastewater samples using laboratory and on-line TOC analyzers employing the heated sodium persulfate oxidation technique in USEPA-approved methods 415.3 and SM 5310C.

SensyMaster helps to improve the operating costs of the most cost intensive process in sewage plants: Aeration. High-measuring performance and state of the art technology helps customers increase plant efficiency.

Excess ammonia in receiving waters causes algal blooms that decrease oxygen levels. For this reason, many wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) must limit ammonia in discharge. Mike Rousey, Hach Company

Selecting the correct accessories will maximize cleaning while minimizing water use, tank refills, labor, and headaches.
