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.

UV System Saves Energy And Reduces Maintenance

After a 17-year run, a plant’s UV disinfection system was limping toward the finish line. The city needed to identify a replacement UV system that fit into the same channel, offered lower power consumption, and contained a practical ease of maintenance to reduce the amount of labor consumed on the equipment. The new system requires dramatically less power to run while simultaneously streamlining upkeep.

Alpha Gone Astray: How To Ensure An Aeration Design Will Work

By understanding the types of substances and processes that can negatively impact aeration performance, operators can ensure that their system works as intended.

Water Resource Recovery Facility Replaces Its Aging UV System - Murfreesboro, Tennessee

Significant innovation had occurred in the 17 years since the TrojanUV4000™ was installed at the Murfreesboro Water Resource Recovery Facility. Advancements associated with system efficacy, simplified maintenance, and energy efficiency had been introduced, all of which correlate to cost savings. Such advancements can all be found in the TrojanUVSigna™ – the UV system that was selected for the upgrade.

Article: Floating Horizontal Aerators Enhance Eufaula, Alabama Activated Sludge Plant The Eufaula, Alabama, wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) is an extended aeration activated sludge facility designed for an average daily flow rate of 2.7 million gallons per day (mgd). Prior to February, 2005 this WWTP used vertical aerators to provide oxygen and mixing in its aerator basins. The plant has two aeration basins, each 1.87 million gallons in volume, which had 160 horsepower (hp) of vertical aerators in each basin

Disinfection For Purified Water Loop For Kamada Pharmaceuticals, Israel

An Atlantium HOD™ (Hydro-Optic Disinfection) UV system was installed at the outlet of a PW tank to serve as the primary disinfection barrier, with water circulating through the system at 6m³/hr before reaching the points of use.

VM V-Cone: When Is A Differential Pressure Meter Best For Municipal Applications?

Oftentimes in municipal flow applications utilities and districts opt for a propeller meter, an electromagnetic (mag) meter, or another type of “no moving parts” meter like an ultrasonic device. However, there are instances in which a differential pressure (DP) meter is a more attractive option, and specifically the VM V-Cone, McCrometer’s DP meter designed for a wide variety of municipal flow applications.

Pilot Studies In North Carolina With Hydrex™ Odor Solutions

Two municipalities were faced with odor issues and required corrosion prevention in their collection systems. Monitoring in the sewer lines indicated peak H₂S atmospheric concentrations of 300-500 ppm. Both clients desired H₂S < 20 mg/L to prevent corrosion and preferably lower to prevent H2S odor.

Zerbe Township WWTP Successfully Manages Non-Dispersible Debris Impacting Its Influent Pump Station

The duplex pump station at a Pennsylvania WWTP was upgraded with heavy duty solids-handling pumps, manufactured by Gorman-Rupp Pumps.

Historic Town Remedies FOG Problem

Among the pump stations managed by Branford, CT, is a long-term problematic station located at Burban Street. There were two primary problems at this station: 1) clogging from modern day trash and raggy, stringy materials, and 2) fats, oils, and grease (FOG) from a nearby nursing home and restaurants, which accumulate and float on the water surface, resulting in a horrendous mess.

UV Technology Offers Solution For Emerging Water Crisis

Many are turning to UV as an effective barrier to enable the reuse of wastewater, for indirect reuse, and aquifer recharge.

Simultaneous Measurement Of Flow And Electrical Conductivity

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

Monitoring IWW Effluents With FP 360 sc Oil-In-Water Sensor

This application note explores a test which demonstrated significant improvements in Oil-in-Water monitoring of industrial wastewater in comparison to the weekly grab sample analysis method.

Reduce SBR Maintenance Costs With Jet Aeration

Aeration has been a primary method for treating municipal and industrial wastewater for over a century. It is a natural way to reduce biological oxygen demand (BOD) and control odors. In the SBR process, aeration helps foster nitrification by bubbling air through the mixture of wastewater and activated sludge, encouraging the multiplication of aerobic microbes which consume nutrients and convert ammonia into nitrites and nitrates.

A Non-Intrusive Solution For Measuring Wastewater Flow In A WWTP's Iron Pipes

A municipal association needed to understand if wastewater was being equally distributed across two cast iron pipes within its wastewater treatment plant. Learn how clamp-on ultrasonic measurement helped successfully measure the flow.  

Performance Test Services For UV Advanced Oxidation Systems

UV AOP performance verification requires a robust test matrix covering design, operating, and control conditions. This process includes on-site execution, sample analysis, and troubleshooting to achieve successful regulatory approval.

Bridge Crossings And The Proper Use Of EX-TEND®, FLEX-TEND®, And Force Balanced FLEX-TEND Products

Of particular interest when it comes to bridges is the locating of pressurized water lines on and under bridge structures. Pressurized pipelines can present a number of unique challenges to the design engineer and utility owner.

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.
