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.

Benefits Of IFAS For Enhanced Biological Nutrient Removal (BNR)
One of the major concerns regarding municipal wastewater treatment plant discharge is the rising concentration of nutrient compounds, specifically nitrogen and phosphorus. Nitrogen and phosphorus are the primary causes of cultural eutrophication (i.e., nutrient enrichment due to human activities) in surface waters.

How AI Optimizes The Chemical Treatment Of Wastewater
Wastewater treatment is a complex process that has largely remained unchanged for the last 100 years. Besides the physical and biological processes, the chemical treatment of wastewater is the third and perhaps the most crucial part of sewage processing and wastewater treatment practices. Typical operations include the processing of sewage/effluent through various stages of comprehensive chemical treatment, like pH neutralization, oxidation, ion exchange, coagulation, and flocculation.

KLa Slot Injector™ Aeration System Expands The Capacity Of An SBR At A Landfill Leachate Treatment Facility
A landfill had an existing single basin SBR plant to process the leachate which is notable for its high nitrogen load. The original system was installed with a fine pore diffuser aeration system and due to the chemical/biological composition of the mixed liquor it was prone to diffuser fouling and premature membrane failure.
