  • Savings Helps MABRs Gain Traction In Municipalities

    An MABR is essentially a biological wastewater treatment process that utilizes seemingly passive aeration through oxygen-permeable membranes. Oxygen transfer through the MABR membranes is diffusion based: driven by concentration differences such that oxygen passes from air at atmospheric pressure into water at a higher hydrostatic pressure. This oxygen transfer mechanism, wherein air is supplied to the process at very low pressure, is the reason MABRs have significantly lower energy consumption compared to other wastewater treatment processes, such as conventional activated sludge (CAS), that utilize diffusers. This energy savings is one of the key reasons MABRs are gaining traction in the municipal wastewater industry.

  • Using ATP And NGS To Monitor Nitrification

WASTEWATER APPLICATION NOTES

  • 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.

  • Recording & Control: Online Data Recording And Control In Anaerobic Digestion Processes

    Solids present in wastewater need to be safely and comprehensively treated and removed. This means not only removing toxic compounds, including both organic and inorganic materials such as heavy metals, but also eliminating any harmful bacteria present in the solids.

  • Optimizing Brine Flow In A Geothermal Power Plant

    Different flow meter technologies were used in this geothermal power plant to monitor and measure brine. However, these traditional technologies failed. That’s where Panametrics PT900 Portable Ultrasonic Flowmeter was able to help.

  • 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.

  • Waterworks Joints 101

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

  • Analyzing Total Organic Carbon In Sea Water

    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.

  • Nitrogen-Reduction Treatment Systems For Long-Term Operations

    The need for of nitrogen-reducing wastewater treatment systems has become more common in the past few decades due to various environmental concerns, including eutrophication, oxygen depletion, and toxicity to aquatic organisms in lakes and streams. The addition of nitrogen removal to any wastewater treatment plant, new or existing, typically increases the costs of the project significantly. When evaluating suitable technologies, it becomes critical to properly identify processes that can not only proved the best upfront capital value but also provide the most sustainable long-term functionality.
