  • Giving Thanks For Water Advocates' Big-Picture Thinking

    Confronted by everyday operating challenges, many decision-makers at drinking water and wastewater organizations do not always have all the time they would like to develop big-picture strategies and tactics for current and long-term concerns. Fortunately, multiple dedicated water-advocacy organizations do. Here are seven areas where water strategists, decision-makers, and other leaders can benefit from those valuable insights.

  • Avoiding The High Costs Of Aeration Inefficiency

    Knowing that aeration requirements consume 50 to 60 percent of a wastewater treatment plant's (WWTP) energy bill is one thing. Knowing exactly how and when to tweak aeration output to optimize activated sludge process efficiency with minimal energy waste is an entirely different story.

  • How To Avoid System Downtime When Installing Flow Meters

    Water and wastewater utilities rely on accurate flow measurement for important process controls. These may include recycle streams, chemical dosing systems, and other operational functions. In addition, regulators require utilities to measure certain flows, such as treatment plant influent and effluent and potable water pumping. Accurate flow measurement is also important for monitoring and reducing unaccounted-for water.

  • Treated Municipal Sewage Achieves High-Quality Discharge Values With Toray MBR Technology

    Due to population growth in recent years, Sanessol, the concessionaire responsible for the water supply and sewage treatment of Mirassol and part of Igua Saneamento Group, decided to use a state of the art technology for their new WWTP, Fartura.

  • To the Rescue: The DIMMINUTOR® Makes A Difference At Ross Valley Sanitary District

    Ross Valley Sanitary District in San Rafael, California services approximately 47,000 mostly residential customers over a 27 square mile service area. They have 5 major pump stations, which is where Ross Valley found themselves having the most trouble. The existing channel grinders were simply not reliable. “It was a constant headache,” said Philip Marcantonio, Senior Collection System Worker. “The pumps were ragging up sometimes twice a week and sometimes twice a day.” The plant reported that the machines were not efficient at all. “It was a lot of extra work on us to keep the stations going,” Marcantonio said. On top of that, the constant downtime was causing even more than extra work; it was costing the district a lot of money. They knew this was not a sustainable system to keep their plant and stations running.

  • AFC Hydrants And Valves With Alpha Joints Offer Time Savings And Efficiency For Somerville, Massachusetts

    How does a contractor navigate the installation of new water and sewer mains in a neighborhood with heavy traffic, narrow roadways and extensive existing underground infrastructure? The answer is the ALPHA™ restrained joint by AMERICAN Flow Control.

  • Odor And Corrosion Control

    Hydrogen Peroxide typically controls odors and corrosion at primary wastewater treatment plant headworks by direct oxidation of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) within the wastewater.

  • Improved Pump And Seal Reliability When And Where It Really Counts

    Replacing mechanical seals twice per year was difficult and expensive for Chester, IL, but a more serious problem occurred when the seals failed with the Mississippi River at flood stage and the sealed lift station underwater.

WASTEWATER APPLICATION NOTES

  • Comparison Of Ultra Low Range Total Chlorine Residual Limits Of Detection And Quantitation Across The Water Industry

    Limits of Detection and Quantitation are key to understanding analytical instrumentation capabilities, especially when non-optimal process control can lead to damage of sensitive equipment due to insufficiently accurate readings.

  • Instruments For Environmental Applications

    Keeping the water in our lakes, rivers, and streams clean requires monitoring of water quality at many points. Over the years ever increasing environmental concerns and regulations have heightened the need for increased diligence and tighter restrictions on wastewater quality.

  • Textile Manufacturing

    The textile manufacturing industry encompasses many and diverse processes that rely heavily on the use of water, energy, chemicals, and other resources. Wet spinning, sizing, desizing, scouring, bleaching, mercerization, dyeing and printing are just a few. Monitoring and controlling the pH, TDS/Conductivity/Salt Concentration, ORP (REDOX), and Temperature of the aqueous solutions used in these processes conserves costly resources, controls quality, and reduces the amount of pollution that must be treated before discharge of effluent wastes. This can be done manually with handheld instruments or automatically with in-line monitor/controllers.

  • 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.

  • Magnetic Flow Meters Improve Recycling Of Gas Well-Produced Water

    As old gas & oil fields play out, newer methods must be used to extract resources from areas where they are locked in layers of shale. One current technique is known as “fraccing,” in which high pressure water is pumped into the well shaft to “fracture” the rock layers, allowing more natural gas to escape and be collected. However, this technique poses a number of environmental problems, including contamination of water with hydrocarbons, solid particulates, and scale producing ions — making it unsuitable for reuse.

  • LLT100 Laser Level Measurement In Water And Wastewater

    In the water and wastewater market segment, the LLT100 laser level transmitter provides an efficient way to measure levels of liquids.
