"How much grit is my grit removal system removing?” is becoming one of the more frequently asked questions at Water Resource Recovery Facilities (WRRFs) and wastewater treatment plants. The intrinsic problem of grit and its scouring activity means that efficient grit removal is fundamental for protecting and optimizing downstream WRRF treatment processes and equipment. Advancements in cutting-edge treatment technology, including membrane systems, and the critical need to maximize equipment investments places an even greater emphasis on effective grit removal.

Reclaimed water systems, powered by MBR technology, offer developers a sustainable, cost-saving solution that meets rising water demands, eases permitting, and aligns projects with future environmental expectations.

Read about a dewatering project that includes 57 kilometers of new railways with 34 kilometers of tunnels and 25 kilometers of high-speed lines. 

Discover how Hydra-Stop’s insertion valve provided new control points without impacting service to surrounding customers.

Single-future design assumptions are no longer sufficient. See what scenario modelling reveals about building treatment infrastructure that performs across decades of uncertainty.

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.

Faced with soaring ammonia loads—especially during race weekends when 250,000+ fans descend on the town—the Speedway, Indiana Wastewater Treatment Plant was in urgent need of a solution.

This article will explain why pre-treatment is so important to direct potable reuse and the most important aspects of pre-treatment design.

According to the American Water Works Association (AWWA), with the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic impacting communities throughout the world, water professionals are working around the clock to ensure that safe, reliable water service continues to flow. But what if many of these essential employees now must work from home or only minimal crews are on-site at the plants?

Chlorine and/or UV are used for the disinfection of treated wastewater effluent, while ozone is used for drinking water treatment. Learn the benefits of using ozone in wastewater treatment.

Anaerobic digestion processes that radically improve the quality of wastewater while delivering green energy extracted from biological waste streams are emerging as a profitable way for agricultural and food processing industries cope with the twin impact of drought and pollution challenges.

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.

Cooling towers and boilers consume the most fresh water in the industry, with industrial process waters carrying the balance. Power plants and refineries use more water volume for the cooling process than any other area of the facility. Mining and food and beverage industries consume higher volumes for their processes. Clean water may come from a range of sources, including clarified surface waters, groundwater or properly treated wastewater (reuse) sources.

Osmosis is the phenomenon of lower dissolved solids in water passing through a semi-permeable membrane into higher dissolved solids water until a near equilibrium is reached

With increasing requirements for enhanced nutrient removal, many wastewater plants are adding anoxic and/or anaerobic tanks in their secondary treatment systems. There are multiple options for enhanced nutrient removal including, but not limited to, the A2O (Anaerobic, Anoxic, Aerobic) process, the UCT or MUCT (Modified University of Cape Town) process and the Bardenpho process.

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.

Pesticide residue laboratories are required to undertake analyses of an ever increasing number of samples. The analyses typically involve use of multi-residue methods (both GC-MS and LC-MS) to test for over 500 pesticide residues.

The 2000PV is a restraint for PVC pipe and the standardized mechanical joint. This product is the result of years of testing and evaluation and its performance has been proven by thousands of hours of proof tests, as well as third-party evaluations. This report describes the 2000PV through the 12" size.

The textile industry is a water consumption intensive industry. Water is utilized for cleaning the raw material, and for the different steps in the textile dyeing process. Due to the effects of water scarcity and stricter environmental regulations, the cost of fresh water utilization has increased worldwide.
