WASTEWATER APPLICATION NOTES

WASTEWATER PRODUCTS

By using various physical and chemical processes, the ecoStorm plus Stormwater Filtration System effectively AND affordably removes BOTH solids and dissolved substances from stormwater

The Clear3 is designed for a range of wastewater strengths and the ability to meet the most stringent discharge and reuse requirements.

The OKI submersible aerator is a heavy-duty, non-clogging, gentle mixing unit which can operate both as an aerator and as a mixer for wastewater and water treatment in municipal and industrial plants. It is used for sludge stabilization in SBR, MBR, and MBBR processes.

The basic principle of the HUBER SRT system is drying of sludge in a solar greenhouse using the available solar radiation. A special sludge turning system performs both spreading and turning of the sludge as well as its transport from one side to the other.

The C445 motor management relay offers the most configurable protection options in the industry, with features specifically designed to protect critical pumps from costly damages due to dead-head and other underloaded or starved pump conditions.

Since 1969, Aqua-Aerobic Systems, Inc. has led the industry in surface aeration and mixing with thousands of installed units throughout the world. For those wastewater applications that require an efficient means of introducing oxygen into a system, the OxyMix pure oxygen mixer is an economical solution compared to other pure oxygen devices.

LATEST INSIGHTS ON WASTEWATER

  • A shift in how we approach source water protection is long overdue. Currently, we are trapped in a cycle of escalating costs, forced to treat symptoms like algae and invasive weeds expediently with chemicals while the underlying risk in the reservoir compounds. True risk management requires breaking this cycle.
  • Einstein once said of compound interest, "He who understands it, earns it. He who doesn't, pays it." The same logic of compounding applies to the organic sediment accumulating on the floor of your drinking water reservoir. The longer you wait to address it, the more exponentially expensive it becomes to fix.
  • 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.
