WOL_key-west_cs_385x250 Key West Resort Utilities Maximizes Reuse And Nutrient Recovery

Water scarcity poses unique challenges to KW Resort Utilities Corp. (KWRU), the utility firm that provides wastewater management, wastewater recovery, and wastewater treatment in the region. KWRU began operation in the late 1960s and has worked hard over the decades to keep up with wastewater needs as population and tourism have boomed, spurred by land reclamation and development. 

WASTEWATER CASE STUDIES AND WHITEPAPERS

WASTEWATER APPLICATION NOTES

  • Reduced Bore Electromagnetic Flowmeter

    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.

  • Harmonics Reduction Methods

    There are several basic methods for reducing harmonic voltage and current distortion from nonlinear distribution loads such as adjustable frequency drives (AFDs). Following is a description of each method, along with each method’s advantages and disadvantages.

  • TOC Monitoring In Process Return Condensate

    Industrial power plants or co-generation power plants utilize steam for industrial purposes other than power production.

  • Oxygen Content In Wastewater Digester Gas

    In wastewater treatment, aerobic digestion enables plants to increase their capacity by injecting oxygen into the wastewater head space.

  • What Is Genclean Advanced Oxidation Disinfection Solution And What Is It Used For?

    A non-toxic, advanced oxidation (AOP) formula of minerals chelated with oxygen and stabilized in an aqueous water solution. It is a viable option in industries and applications requiring a solution to challenging situations where high level effective sanitization and oxidation is required. Read more to learn how the Genclean advanced oxidation treatment solutions can be used in different applications.

  • Biogas Measurement From Wastewater To Power Plant

    Stockholm water company produces biogas from their wastewater facility which feeds Scandinavian Biogas for energy production. As they need to accurately meter what they sell to the energy facility they used a project contractor firm to engineer and define the best solution for the project.

  • Best Practices In Moist And Wet Gas Flow

    The Wet Gas MASSter sensor is for use in applications that have a high level of moisture or condensation present in the gas flow stream that cannot otherwise be removed.

  • Automatic Scraper Strainers Protect Critical Membrane Systems

    Automated scraper strainers pre-filter water and wastewater to protect fragile membrane systems from damage caused by large, suspended particles, reducing maintenance and replacement costs.

  • How To Optimize Your DAF System With Air Dissolving Pumps

    Despite their importance in modern wastewater applications, not all DAFs are created equal. Factors, such as the components that make up these systems, will influence how well they work and how long they last.

  • Simplify And Optimize Your Process With Level And Pump Control

    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.

When you need simple, leak-proof transportation, rolling metal lids are here to protect the contents of your box from the elements.

The new UNIK 5000 is a high-performance configurable solution to pressure measurement. The use of micromachined silicon technology and analogue circuitry enables best-in-class performance for stability, low power, and frequency response. The new platform enables you to easily build up your own sensor to match your precise needs. This high-performance, configurable solution to pressure measurement employs modular design and lean manufacturing techniques.

Efficiently service and maintain intelligent field devices
Field devices are the eyes and ears of automation. The failure of a valve positioner, temperature, flow or pressure sensor can quickly lead to serious malfunction of the process. With SIMATIC PDM Maintenance Station V3.0, Siemens offers the right solution for efficiently monitoring the condition of smart field devices, irrespective of the automation and control systems used

Schreiber's Grit & Grease removal system is  unique system designed to remove both grit and grease in a common structure. The rectangular design provides efficient removal over a wide range of flows. The deeper chamber is for the settling of grit and in the other chamber grease floats to the surface for removal. The operation is automated with a PLC control for maximum operating efficiency.
