Aeration Basin Air Flow Monitoring At A Stockholm Wastewater PlantAt a wastewater treatment plant in Stockholm, Sweden, each aeration basin has several diffuser systems. Each diffuser system requires individual air flow monitoring and independent control. The air flow pipes leading to the diffusers typically do not have much straight run of pipe. This makes accurate measurement of the air flow more difficult. In addition, the air flow coming from the compressors is inconsistent

The OSEC® L system is a fully automated and pre-packaged low-capacity On-Site Hypochlorite generating system that creates <1% sodium hypochlorite solution based on disposable bipolar electrode technology.
The TITAN MBR QUBE™ is a complete, factory-built, packaged wastewater treatment system featuring a compact design for simple shipping and mobility. Equipped with the same TITAN MBR™ technology that has made S&L an industry leader in pre-engineered treatment systems, the TITAN MBR QUBE™ provides simple, economical and efficient plug and play treatment in a much smaller footprint than conventional treatment systems. The TITAN MBR QUBE™ is a 40-ft long cube shipping container; delivered directly to the job site, minimal assembly required.
The Clear3 is designed for a range of wastewater strengths and the ability to meet the most stringent discharge and reuse requirements.
JWC Environmental’s Monster Wash Press (MWP) cleans and compacts the discharge from headworks screens, separating water and organics from the solids. It features a Muffin Monster® grinder to pre-condition screenings before entering the Monster Wash Press. The grinder breaks open rags, plastics and trash to promote washing and removal of soft organics. The patent-pending paddle rotor in the active wash zone agitates the material to enhance water penetration throughout the debris for even better removal of the organics from the solids. Organics are washed back into the wastewater treatment process and the solids are compacted into a dry, less odorous solid plug. The Monster Wash Press is designed for easy maintenance. The rotor and field replaceable screen can be removed via the top of the unit, minimizing the clearance space needed around the unit during maintenance. A grinderless version of the Monster Wash Press is also available.
More than 90 years ago, Aurora Pump built its business with these reliable and long-lasting pumps. We are still building on our legacy of quality design and manufacturing today.

Geotechnical Internet of Things (IoT) devices enable water and wastewater industry professionals to identify and address issues before they escalate into catastrophic events. -
![Pinebrook Aerial 3]( "Sustainable Wastewater Solutions For Today's Challenges")
Traditional gravity sewers rely on large-diameter mains, deep trenches, and often multiple lift stations — elements that carry significant capital and restoration costs, particularly in rural or rugged terrain. To improve cost efficiency and sustainability, many municipalities are adopting decentralized collection systems such as Septic Tank Effluent Pump (STEP) systems, Septic Tank Effluent Gravity (STEG) systems, and liquid-only sewers.

![Wastewater Management-GettyImages-2160087909]( "Rethinking Aeration: Demand-Based DO Control And Energy Optimization")
Aeration control strategies often remain conservative and static. Blowers operate continuously, oxygen levels are maintained near maximum, and airflow rates are rarely adjusted in response to real-time biological demand. The result is widespread over-aeration — a condition that does not improve treatment performance but significantly increases operating costs. -
