When Plainfield, IN, needed to double their permitted capacity from 2 MGD to 4 MGD at their South wastewater treatment plant, they faced a dilemma. Like most treatment plants, space is at a premium, and compact design was needed not only for the current expansion, including the addition of a post aeration structure, but to preserve as much room as possible for projected future expansions.

With infrastructure being such a hot topic these days, it is only fitting that industrial water treatment professionals take a second look at their own infrastructure. Here are some areas where new pressures from the impacts of climate change, population growth, or government regulations can benefit from improved filtration membrane technology approaches.

This radium removal pilot study was conducted for the City of Bridgeton, New Jersey’s Well No. 19 treatment facility. The Bridgeton water system contains concentrations of radium and gross alpha in excess of the Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCL).

After the Missouri Department of Natural Resources reclassified the effluent receiving stream in the city of Sullivan, officials learned that its wastewater treatment lagoon required a more advanced treatment process to comply. They selected a continuous-flow sequencing batch reactor (SBR) system that utilizes a modified activated sludge biological treatment. The new infrastructure has provided cost-saving results for the ongoing removal of nitrogen and phosphorous.

The Ventura Regional Sanitation District’s Liquid Waste Treatment Facility (LWTF) was experiencing a double-threat to safety and productivity.

The City of Papillion in Nebraska is home to around 20,000 residents who receive their water from two large water towers. These towers are fed by a pump station with the original pipeline infrastructure dictating that both towers needed to be filled simultaneously.

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.

A water main rupture under pressure in Florida required a custom-designed “live line repair” fitting. Engineers quickly deployed, creating a permanent, corrosion-resistant solution and completing repairs in under 10 hours.

In the late 1970s, a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) in Tullahoma, TN, built in 1955, was overloaded and deteriorating.

After two years away, AWWA is returning to an in-person format this June. Newterra could not be more excited to be there alongside our fellow water professionals. 

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.

We arm municipalities with actionable data necessary to make informed decisions about water quality in their communities

Any process plant constantly generates a high volume of status data. Today, this data can be extracted from the plant, stored, analyzed, and prepared to meet operator needs and lower marginal costs.

Siemens offers to our customers the ability to make both process measurements, and to remotely monitor the activity and health of instrumentation, whether you have a SCADA, PLC or DCS system, or not. By utilizing Siemens’ ability to offer unparalleled flow, level, pressure, temperature, and weight measurement we can provide a broad range of process measurements and offer unequaled monitoring of the health and performance of those products.

The analysis of Total Organic Carbon (TOC) in seawater can be both challenging and expensive. The concentration of organic carbon in seawater is of considerable interest. The effect this matrix can have on TOC analyzers can lead to rapid consumable turnover, costly maintenance and repairs.

A water purveyor was in urgent need of a chemically resistant flow instrumentation with a long life of service that allowed reliable and long-term stable dosing of the sodium hypochlorite solution.

The QuEChERS (Quick-Easy-Cheap-Effective-Rugged-Safe) sample extraction method was developed for the determination of pesticide residues in agricultural commodities.

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

There are many different joints that can be found on waterworks pipeline components. This paper focuses on the three most common joints.

This application note explores Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) systems that have been installed worldwide in a variety of applications, ranging from a few gallons per minute (GPM) to thousands of GPM.
