Wastewater Treatment Trends For A More Efficient Plant

Efficiency is the name of the game for modern wastewater treatment plants. Unfortunately, many facilities were built decades ago and are becoming increasingly expensive to operate. Therefore, you may be looking for a way to upgrade your wastewater treatment plant to meet the latest standards.

Parkson Turnkey Services Allow Customer To Get What They Want

A wastewater plant in Florida originally had one Parkson Aqua Guard® Self-Cleaning Moving Media Screen in operation for approximately 19 years. When the city expanded, a new headworks plant was built in 2009. At this time, two (2) new screens were purchased from a competitor based on cost through a bid process to contractors.

Improve Operational Efficiency And Capital Improvement Program Management

The City of Grand Rapids, MI sought out a partner to take responsibility for the operation and maintenance of the monitoring network including hardware, software, and data preparation.

Real-Time Wastewater Monitoring: The Power Of Fluorometers

Real-time wastewater monitoring with fluorometers enables instant contaminant detection, helping treatment plants adjust quickly, prevent pollution, meet regulations, and better protect public health and the environment.

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.

Optimizing Chemical Dosing Reduces Chemical Use While Meeting Effluent TP Limits

The city of Black River Falls in Wisconsin used chemical treatment with ferric chloride (FeCl3) to achieve their effluent total phosphorus (TP) permit of 1.0 mg/l. Historically, the chemical dosing rate was manually adjusted on a daily basis based on the measured effluent TP concentration. The plant was upgraded with an OSCAR process performance optimizer control system with phosphorus controller, which uses continuous measurement of orthophosphate.

Why Ceramic Membranes Are Changing The Marketplace

Despite their higher upfront cost, ceramic membranes deliver a notable return on investment while providing the same if not better water quality results as polymeric membranes.

Underground Utility Markings Help You Dig Safely

You may not notice them, but the colorful paint marking buried utilities underneath sidewalks and roads is essential to public safety, real estate development, and infrastructure management.
