Cr(VI) is a regulated contaminant in drinking water because it can cause gastrointestinal, liver, and developmental toxicity in humans when ingested. A facility was unable to discharge to their POTW because the CR(VI) concentration in their wastewater stream was over the regulated discharge limit. 

A Pennsylvania treatment plant upgraded its headworks to an innovative grit removal system that handles combined sewer storm surges, removes fine grit particles, and lessens maintenance on operations staff.

Certain aeration components have the potential to shut down the aeration unit and bring about unplanned downtime. Here are the ones to have on hand at all times.

The Toray MBR modules helped a local utility achieve their goals of conserving water and meeting the Regional Water Quality Control Board's effluent standards (Title 22), so the reclaimed water can be used for irrigation and other reuse applications. 

According to the U.S. EPA, municipal water and wastewater treatment systems account for 30 to 40 percent of the total energy used by municipalities in the United States. In wastewater treatment, the biggest chunk of this energy consumption comes from aeration. Within a typical WWTP, the aeration equipment used to maintain the required dissolved oxygen (DO) levels in the activated sludge process can account for as much as 60 percent of the total plant energy use (Source: EPA.gov). As municipalities and plant operators look for ways to minimize energy use and contain operating costs, aeration is a natural area of focus.

The BluBox MBR system was installed in a master-planned community, meeting water quality standards and providing a cost-effective solution. M|MBR Systems played a crucial role in plant operations and supported the community's rapid growth.

A mid-size water system in the southeast was looking to pull together multiple measurements in a single panel. After reviewing off-the-shelf solutions, they realized there was nothing that met their requirements.

The Cadiz street Pump Station in Dallas, Texas collects wastewater and pumps it across the Trinity River to the Central Wastewater Treatment Plant .

The packaged Smith & Loveless TITAN MBR™ Membrane BioReactor (MBR) provides commercial and private developers the most cost-effective solution for enhanced wastewater treatment and water reuse. Enhanced to make operation even more automated and simpler, and regular maintenance even safer and less frequent than any other membrane system, the new TITAN MBR™ features more compact models with the ability to achieve customized effluent goals and water reuse efficiently.

Saudi Arabia's National Water Company needed to transport sewage from Riyadh to the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) at Al Haer. Read the full case study to learn how Hydro International worked with ILF Consulting Engineers to develop an alternative design using three Hydro-Brake® Drop systems.

With increasing requirements for enhanced nutrient removal, many wastewater plants are adding anoxic and/or anaerobic tanks in their secondary treatment systems. There are multiple options for enhanced nutrient removal including, but not limited to, the A2O (Anaerobic, Anoxic, Aerobic) process, the UCT or MUCT (Modified University of Cape Town) process and the Bardenpho process.

We arm farmers with mission-critical water data to help enhance crop yield and taste. KETOS delivers valuable insights for fluctuations in deficiency and toxicity.

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

Level controllers have evolved to meet today’s environmental challenges and industry demands. Learn how they support improved process management and, ultimately, a better bottom line.

In this application note, explore considerations for achieving more reliable accuracy when quantifying dechlorination results for applications ranging from RO membrane protection to wastewater discharge compliance.

Being able to accurately measure both the quantity and rate of water passing through a water distribution system is crucial to gain an informed understanding of overall efficiency. As such, achieving a measurement that is exact as possible can have a significant impact on key areas. This includes supply planning, maintenance, resource deployment, leakage detection and the overall environment.

In the early days of variable frequency drive (VFD) technology, the typical application was in process control for manufacturing synthetic fiber, steel bars, and aluminum foil.

A new pipe-repair solution promises to save time and money, while also being sustainable, long-lasting, fully scalable, and safe for workers.

Water quality test strips have been around for decades. They are usually constructed from a porous media, including different types of paper, and undergo a color change when dipped into water containing the analyte of interest. These test strips have seen application in swimming pools, aquariums, hot tubs, remediation sites, and other commercial/environmental areas.
