Enhancing Sanitary Sewer Infrastructure: Introducing M.E. Simpson's NASSCO MACP Inspection Program

M.E. Simpson Company, Inc. is proud to introduce the comprehensive NASSCO MACP Level 2 Inspection Program, designed to empower utilities with valuable insights into the structural integrity of the sewer structures.

Enhancing Leak Detection With Remote Pressure Monitoring

Remote pressure monitoring is increasingly being implemented by progressive water utilities, both large and small, to get better visibility into their distribution systems. This results in lower operating costs and reduced stress on their aging pipe networks.

PFOA/PFOS Stormwater Treatment

Following several years of piloting ion exchange resin for the removal of perfluorinated compounds, CKS Engineers needed to design and construct a full-scale system to treat the former military base stormwater runoff before entering Neshaminy Creek.

Xylem Designs Permanent Backup Pump Solution To Prevent Another Overflow In Jonesborough

In spring 2016, a significant rain event sent the Jonesborough Wastewater Department in Tennessee back to the drawing board.

Headworks' MS Series Bar Screen Is The Equipment Of Choice For The Puerto Rican Sewer Authority's Caguas Wastewater Treatment Plant

Even though it is a small island, Puerto Rico has historically had big issues with sewage treatment. Due to its tropical location in the Caribbean, heavy storms can create unusually large peak flows at the treatment plants.

Rice University Fights Clogs And Saves $20K Every Six Months

With Xylem's Flygt Concertor solution, Rice University now avoids clogs and callouts caused by grease and debris, as well as costly recurring equipment replacement. 

Crusher Provides Cool Solution Freeze Dried Mushrooms

When establishing a processing and freeze-drying system for an exotic mushroom customer, Van Drunen Farms in Momence, Illinois found themselves in search of a solution for a unique set of challenges.

Development Of MBR Suitable For Retrofit With Flat Sheet Membrane

In sewage works of Japan near bay areas, the tightening of restrictions on nitrogen and phosphorus has resulted in greater needs for reconstruction and replacement of infrastructure, to switch from the conventional activated sludge process to the advanced treatment process without newly expanding aeration tanks.

Floating Treatment Wetlands Mitigate Lake Eutrophication Simple, cost-effective water treatment strategies are transforming agricultural effluent into world-class fish habitat in an ongoing study in Montana.

Did You Know This About Granular Activated Carbon?

Did you know that just one gram of granular activated carbon (GAC) can have a surface area equivalent to several football fields? 

Sewage Lift Station Pumping System

Lack of sufficient straight pipe run made it impossible to successfully apply the preferred magnetic flow meter (magmeter) to accurately measure the flow of raw sewage.

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.

Flow And Concentration Measurement For Automated Sludge Thickening

Learn how a wastewater treatment plant in eastern Switzerland relies on the targeted use of flocculants to prevent sludge washout. 

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.

Real-Time Water Quality Data For Agriculture

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.

Dissolved Oxygen Measurement In Wastewater Treatment

A wastewater treatment plant separates solids from the liquid, and consists of two basic stages: primary treatment and secondary treatment.

Primary Wastewater Treatment: Influent Monitoring

The raw sewage entering a wastewater treatment plant comes from a variety of sources. In addition to effluent from domestic users, effluent from industrial users and storm water run off can be present.

Ultrasonic Flow Meters Improve Biogas Measurements

As interest in biogas grows, more attention is being paid to measuring biogas flow, which has long been a problem area in process measuring technology.

Optimizing Air Flows To Aeration Basins

As a result of clean energy mandates and the rising cost of energy, wastewater treatment facilities around the country are retrofitting their instrumentation to run highly efficient, cost-effective, clean facilities. To reduce emissions and produce clean energy, solid wastes are often digested in large digester tanks to reduce the volume of waste (sludge) and produce more biogas, which is then used as fuel in the cogeneration process. However, a clean environment calls for not just clean air and clean energy, but clean water as well.

Application Note: Preliminary Performance Study On An On-Line TOC Analyzer In Pharmaceutical Applications Total Organic Carbon (TOC) analysis is an effective technique for detecting and measuring the presence of organic contaminants in waters used throughout industrial processes, municipal water uses, and for determining residual concentrations of organic material on the surfaces of equipment used in the manufacture of active pharmaceutical ingredients.
