WASTEWATER CASE STUDIES AND WHITEPAPERS

  • Headworks Bar Screens Solve Reweaving Problems At East Greenbush, NY Pump Station - And More!

    In the late 1620s, the Dutch immigrants to what was later to become the United States began a settlement on the shores of the Hudson River with a fort being built in 1669. That development has grown into what is now East Greenbush, NY, a small town in upstate New York in the suburbs of Albany, the state Capitol.

  • Not All Differential Pressure Meters Are Created Equal

    Due to the dynamics of liquids and gases flowing through elbows, valves, pumps, and other pipeline structures, every flow-meter methodology has its own design limitations. Unlike Venturi meters, pitot tubes, orifice plates, and other devices, V-Cone meters provide highly accurate and reliable readings with minimal straight-pipe length restrictions and virtually no maintenance, in pipe sizes up to 120”.

  • TASKMASTER® Multi-Stage Shredding System for Pharmaceutical Plant Security

    A pharmaceutical manufacturer was faced with major waste management concerns. They urgently needed a powerful shredding system capable of quickly and efficiently reducing bulky pharmaceutical rejects, packaging and literature to an unrecognizable condition. The company had recently purchased shredding equipment to replace older units, which were failing, but soon encountered unexpected problems. Pharmaceutical material passing through the carbon steel shredders often contained corrosive chemicals, which eventually eroded the units.

  • 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.

  • Small Community Leads Central Florida In Potable Water Reuse Implementation

    Altamonte Springs’ implemented a pilot program called the pureALTA project with two primary goals – to serve as platform for future potable water reuse efforts; and to educate the 45,000 residents about the benefits of potable water reuse.

  • Seeking Versatility And Simplicity In Troy, Alabama

    Troy Alabama’s Wastewater Treatment Plant was faced with broken discs causing dropping dissolved oxygen (DO) levels in their oxidation ditch. The 3.5 mgd plant opened in 1979. In 1992-1993, a disc rotor system was installed. After 23 years of service, the discs started breaking. Dave Fiveash, Troy’s Plant Manager for the past 21 years, was driven to find a solution to keep the plant operating and meeting DO requirements. 

  • Hassle-Free Operations: Pinnacle's Promise To Maintenance Teams

  • Spiralift® SLX: First Line Of Defense For Prison Effluent

    For years, Graterford Prison, a maximum security facility in Pennsylvania, experienced continuous problems with their wastewater system. Their antiquated equipment consisted of bar screens, grinders and comminutors which were frequently overwhelmed by the sewage generated daily by 3,600 inmates. To make matters worse, the trash and debris often included full sheets, blankets, clothing, shoes, and plastics which the prisoners stuffed into the toilets in their cells and flushed. The ensuing sewage clogs, backups and flooding created headaches for the maintenance staff and interfered with the institution’s functioning.

  • UV Disinfection And Dechlorination At Cottonseed Processing Facility In Texas

    In this case study, learn how a cottonseed processing facility in Texas successfully prevented biofouling in their RO membrane filtration system by installing the HOD UV technology from Atlantium.

  • The Importance Of Grinder Design In Pump Protection

    By breaking down solids into a manageable size, grinders allow pumps to work efficiently while avoiding downtime for cleaning and repair. However, not all grinders are the same. Here is a list of design features that are important to consider when making a grinder investment.

WASTEWATER APPLICATION NOTES

WASTEWATER PRODUCTS

A static headspace method was developed using Teledyne Tekmar automated headspace vial samplers to meet the method requirements of the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau of the US Department of the Treasury (TTB) method SSD: TM:2001 for testing fusel alcohols in alcoholic beverages.

With one or two flow channels and versatile electrical inputs and outputs, the FLUXUS F704 can optimally be configured to your application needs, measuring and handling a variety of process parameters.

Vaughan’s Turbo Mixer is a propeller mixer mounted vertically inside an 18” elbow. This mixer has replaced many submersible propeller mixers which have experienced motor or gearbox failure due to fluid inleakage. 

Interchangeable sensors and transmitters provide ideal flexibility for flow measurement.

The Aztec 600 Ammonia Analyzer AW632 offers reliable and accurate on-line analysis of ammonia and ammonium ions up to 3 ppm NH3.
