Embracing An Evolved Maintenance Strategy

Learn how you can find a permanent, cost-effective solution that offers flexibility, improved safety, and more. 

The Truth About Clogged Pumps

The sky is blue, grass is green, and, someday, your pumps are going to clog. It’s just another fact of life — or is it? 

KLa Jet Aerators/Mixers For Large Diameter Equalization Tanks

Many municipalities are facing the challenge of having to equalize large volumes of storm water sometimes mixed with raw sewage in order to continuously meet their permit limitations. The equalized flow is stored during a storm event and then slowly diverted to the treatment facility when influent flows return to normal levels.

Maximizing Solids-Handling Performance Of Municipal, Commercial, And Industrial Pumps

The rise in the use of disposable wipes and other non-dispersible debris is driving the need for more efficient handling of solids in pumps at municipal lift stations and wastewater treatment plant headworks.

How The Industry Can Take On Wipes In The Waste Stream – And Win

This is the first of a three-part series examining wipes in the waste stream. This first installment looks specifically at the growth of disposable wipes usage within the last decade.

Advanced Oxidation Processes: A.O.P. Whitepaper

Advanced Oxidation Processing is the generation and implementation of hydroxyl radicals (HO+) to oxidize contaminates in air and water. It is considered one of the most powerful oxidants readily available and it produces NO harmful by-products.

Clinton, MA SuperDisc Case Study

The Clinton Wastewater Treatment Plant provides advanced wastewater treatment, including nutrient removal, for the towns of Clinton and Lancaster, Massachusetts.

Monsters Protect Pump Station, Weather Storms In Scotland

Pump blockages and rags are a significant barrier to energy and operational efficiencies at pump stations, causing unscheduled shut downs, safety hazards for operators, costly equipment repairs and increased power usage due to a decrease in the pumps’ hydraulic performance. Scottish Water observed these negative effects caused by an influx of wipes and rags throughout a network of area pump stations. Engineers looked to a proven, powerful solution in the form of two JWC Environmental Channel Monster® grinders at one of their most problematic sites.

Level Measurement Myth Busting In The Environmental Market

Explore some of the most common beliefs currently being sold about radar in the environmental market. 

Mobile Home Park Installs Modular MBR System To Save Valuable Space

Bay Meadows is a year-round RV and mobile home park located along the shores of Lake Ontario. The facility had been reliant on subsurface treatment, however current regulatory requirements eliminated the option of continuing with that approach. In addition to high bedrock, the lack of available area due to design flow values meant a more sophisticated sewage treatment solution would be necessary.

Pikeville, Kentucky Medical Center Leak Found Despite Ambient Noise

Leaks found in 60 psi high density PE pipe by FELL in less than three hours. Acoustic and CCTV failed to find any leaks after more than a year of investigation. Read the full case study to learn more. 

Application Note: Small Team Saves Big Hassles With The Professional Plus Multiparameter Instrument In the past, Shinkle and her colleagues carried separate YSI meters for pH and DO, she notes. Now they use the YSI Professional Plus handheld multiparameter instrument, which allows them to measure pH, DO and temperature with one quick, reliable instrument. By YSI

Reduced Bore Electromagnetic Flowmeter

Being able to accurately measure both the quantity and rate of water passing through a water distribution system is crucial to gain an informed understanding of overall efficiency. As such, achieving a measurement that is exact as possible can have a significant impact on key areas. This includes supply planning, maintenance, resource deployment, leakage detection and the overall environment.

Reduce SBR Maintenance Costs With Jet Aeration

Aeration has been a primary method for treating municipal and industrial wastewater for over a century. It is a natural way to reduce biological oxygen demand (BOD) and control odors. In the SBR process, aeration helps foster nitrification by bubbling air through the mixture of wastewater and activated sludge, encouraging the multiplication of aerobic microbes which consume nutrients and convert ammonia into nitrites and nitrates.

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.

Chlorine Measurement In Wastewater And Regulated Discharge Requirements

Homes, industry, schools, and businesses all generate sanitary waste, or sewage. Sewage treatment is a multistage process that cleans up wastewater before discharge or reuse. In the final step of the treatment, disinfectants are added to kill disease-causing organisms. Common disinfectants are chlorine gas and sodium hypochlorite. Chlorine dosage levels are designed to leave almost no residual in the wastewater after treatment

FLEX-TEND® Flexible Expansion Joints, Features And Specifications

FLEX-TEND® flexible expansion joints are designed to protect structures and pipelines from differential movement whether this movement is earthquake induced or the gradual motion of soil subsidence. This bulletin offers a concise listing and discussion of the important features and materials of the double and single ball assemblies.

Dosing Of Sodium Hypochlorite Solution For Drinking Water Disinfection

A water purveyor was in urgent need of a chemically resistant flow instrumentation with a long life of service that allowed reliable and long-term stable dosing of the sodium hypochlorite solution.

Complete Flow Solutions

Siemens’ extensive portfolio includes various flow measurement technologies, such as Coriolis, clamp-on ultrasonic, vortex, and differential pressure meters, catering to a wide range of industrial needs.

Repair Or Rethink

The Moundsville Wastewater Treatment Plant in West Virginia chooses not to fix a broken blower unit, but rather to correct an outdated approach. The result is a savings of $50-60K a year in energy costs.
