WASTEWATER

GettyImages-157593000_450_300 How To Choose Among Wastewater Screen Options

Wastewater screening isn’t one-size-fits-all. The right choice depends on flow, debris, and efficiency needs, with long-term performance and maintenance costs shaping the best solution.

WASTEWATER CASE STUDIES AND WHITEPAPERS

  • Using ATP And NGS To Monitor Nitrification

    China Steel Corporation, a steel producer in Taiwan, produces wastewater that is high in organics, ammonia, solids, and other waste products. The wastewater is treated on-site using a series of biological treatment processes. The variable influent quality can make it challenging to meet treatment objectives.

  • Full-Bore, Unrestricted Mounting Flow Meter For Municipalities

    Like all wastewater treatment facilities, the City of Pendleton WWTRRF faces the daily challenge of maintaining water safety and quality for the city while improving energy consumption and meeting city, state and national regulations. 

  • Successful Flygt 4220 Mixer Trial Wins Over Hesitant Utility

    Explore how a wastewater treatment plant realized significant energy savings and increased performance with adaptive mixer technology. 

  • Improving Dissolved Air Quality With The AirWhip™ DAF Pump

    Learn how incorporating the AirWhip™ pump technology into DAF systems can achieve efficient flotation, improving the quality of the dissolved air and allowing maximum adhesion to the floc particles.

  • 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.

  • The Top Seven Ways The STRAINPRESS® Helps With Digester Debris Issues

    Read about the seven ways that the HUBER Sludge Cleaner STRAINPRESS® saves money and time while establishing a safer work environment.

  • How Can We Create A More Effective Densified Sludge?

    True densified sludge, achieved with time-based batch controls, improves settling, increases capacity, and enhances nutrient removal—delivering a compact, efficient, and cost-effective alternative to conventional activated sludge systems.

  • Meeting New Effluent Quality Requirements With MBRs

    When the California Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) issued a new waste discharge requirement, the Nevada County Sanitary District saw that a major upgrade of the existing WWTP's lagoon system would be required. An MBR system was selected due to its capability of meeting new effluent quality using the existing plant footprint and its competitive operating costs.

  • Cudo Stormwater Products - Shaping The Future Of Water Quality Cudo Stormwater Products, Inc. has launched a new approach to stormwater management, improving upon established technology with an easy to install and maintain system that addresses underground stormwater storage, infiltration, treatment, and rainwater harvesting. This innovative solution can be integrated into pre-designed bioretention systems or customized for new applications. By Kristar Enterprises, Inc.
  • Higher Flux Rate Operation With The Fuzzy Filter

    As greater restrictions and increased capacities are being placed on industrial & municipal plants, filtration systems are being pushed to greater operating levels. The Fuzzy Filter has enjoyed a distinct advantage over conventional media and disc type filters by virtue of its ability to operate at over 5 times conventional flux rates while maintaining effluent quality better than these technologies.

WASTEWATER APPLICATION NOTES

WASTEWATER PRODUCTS

At Jacobi Carbons, we take our environmental responsibilities very seriously.  We are the only coconut shell carbon manufacturer with the foresight to have attained ISO 14001, the only globally accepted standard for environmental management. With the commitment of our entire organization we have been able to achieve the delicate balance addressed by the standard of maintaining profitability while reducing environmental impact.

This sound attenuated pump eliminates the need for a waste hose and prevents discharge of pumping effluent onto the ground. 

The NeoTech D228™ is specially designed to disinfect water and is an essential component in advanced oxidation processes.

The WesTech Solids CONTACT CLARIFIER™ has the ability to act as both an enhanced flocculation device as well as a high rate chemical precipitator. Mixing, internal solids recirculation, gentle flocculation and gravity sedimentation are all combined into a single unit.

Water and wastewater piping come in a variety of materials, joints, and diameters. They can meet a multitude of demands and needs for the country's infrastructure.

Monitor flow through open channels, partially full sewer pipes and surcharged pipes without a flume or weir. Ideal for stormwater, combined effluent, raw sewage, irrigation water and streams.

LATEST INSIGHTS ON WASTEWATER

  • Our infrastructure systems have operated in managed deterioration for decades. And not surprisingly, once they deteriorate badly enough and cross over into active failure, all cost discipline disappears.
  • Every day, food scraps disappear into trash bags, are hauled away, and forgotten. But that waste could be turned into something productive.

  • Currently, water infrastructure is outdated and fragile, prone to breakages and leaks. Reactive approaches to water infrastructure are only implemented after an incident and are more expensive than simple maintenance fixes. Geotechnical Internet of Things (IoT) devices enable water and wastewater industry professionals to identify and address issues before they escalate into catastrophic events.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Emerging state water reuse regulations are driving adoption of ozone and advanced oxidation, requiring flexible, high-performance systems to meet pathogen, trace organic, and DBP control objectives.
