Water Treatment Analytics: A Road Map To Greater Efficiency

From the largest metropolitan water treatment plant (WTP) or wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) operations to the smallest rural systems, the goals are essentially the same — achieve regulatory compliance and the most efficient results at the lowest practical cost. The most feasible (i.e., affordable) control solutions vary by process, plant size, and budgetary limitations. Here are several high-level guidelines to achieving a common strategy that works across virtually all applications: good data, properly analyzed, yields good results.

Safeguarding Public Health with UV Disinfection – Swansea, United Kingdom (Case Study)

In order to improve the treatment performance (because of the continued cost to maintain compliance), and ensure that it would eventually have the treatment capacity to meet future population growth equivalent of up to 225,000,

How Decentralized Wastewater Treatment Can Protect Against Drought

Learn how common wastewater technologies are being leveraged in decentralized systems and how they can open opportunities for innovation and better water management in the face of drought.

AI Helps Wastewater Utilities Prepare For Extreme Weather

When operators can’t keep up with routine maintenance and inspection, collection systems are at a higher risk of failure, and they stand little chance against significant weather events.

TASKMASTER® TITAN® To The Rescue In Picturesque, Cobleskill, New York

The wastewater treatment plant in picturesque Cobleskill, New York, was unable to process the wastewater generated by the town’s 4,678 year- round residents. The buildup of plastics, rags, trash wrappings and other debris was regularly clogging the system, necessitating frequent cleanings.

A More Cost-Effective Tool For Oxygen Injection Flow Measurement

Variable area (VA) flow meters offer an economical solution in many hazardous wastewater applications, as well as a variety of other uses, but are often overlooked by engineers and plant operators who think a higher level of flow measurement technology is necessary. 

Solar-Powered Circulators Turn Around WWTP Lagoon's Issues

For years, the wastewater treatment plant in Villa Mercedes, David City, Panama emitted harsh odors and created a rampant mosquito population, a situation the neighboring residents found impossible to deal with. Treatment at the plant needed improvement to successfully treat up to 4.6 million gallons of wastewater per day, eliminate harsh odors and reduce the mosquito population.

Air Diffusion Systems Helps Francesville With New Aeration System

In 2012, the Town of Francesville in Indiana contacted Air Diffusion Systems to provide a solution for several suspended solids violations and energy efficient treatment. Air Diffusion Systems was able to provide an unique solution to correct biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and total suspended solids (TSS) problems using Kaeser Compressors’ CB Com-paK blowers.

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. 

Aeration Considerations: What To Know Before You Buy

Unlike most municipal wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) applications, industrial wastewater can vary widely from one application to another, even within the same plant, depending on the process being run. Industrial wastewater professionals — especially those facing specific challenges or planned volume increases — can benefit from comparing key points of differentiation in jet aeration system options before making any upgrade.

Ultrasonic Level Measurement In Water And Wastewater Plants

Radar technology is often viewed as the “best” method of level measurement, but this isn’t necessarily true in the water industry.

Simplify And Optimize Your Process With Level And Pump Control

Level controllers have evolved to meet today’s environmental challenges and industry demands. Learn how they support improved process management and, ultimately, a better bottom line.

Veterinary Drug Residue Analysis Using The AutoMate-Q40: An Automated Solution To QuEChERS

QuEChERS is a Quick-Easy-Cheap-Effective-Rugged-Safe extraction method that has been developed for the determination of pesticide residues in agricultural commodities.

Determination Of Polar Pesticide Residues In Food Of Plant Origin, By And Automate QuPPe Solution

The QuEChERS (Quick-Easy-Cheap-Effective-Rugged-Safe) sample extraction method was developed for the determination of pesticide residues in agricultural commodities.

Panametrics' Technology Proves Key In Supporting Serbia's Flood Prevention Strategy

A water management company in Serbia used Panametrics' ultrasonic flow meter technology for stormwater management, ensuring reliable measurement and accuracy in challenging conditions. The technology allowed for live monitoring of water transfer and reduced the risk of flooding.

A Non-Intrusive Solution For Measuring Wastewater Flow In A WWTP's Iron Pipes

A municipal association needed to understand if wastewater was being equally distributed across two cast iron pipes within its wastewater treatment plant. Learn how clamp-on ultrasonic measurement helped successfully measure the flow.  

Application Note: Simultaneous Determination Of Total Bound Nitrogen (TNb) And Total Organic Carbon (TOC) In Aqueous Samples Total bound nitrogen (TN_b) consists of dissolved ammonia, nitrates, nitrites, amines, and other organic nitrogen-containing compounds. TN_b measurements represent an alternative to Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen (TKN) analysis for rapid screening of industrial wastewater, drinking water,agricultural run-off, and surface waters.

Flow Monitoring In The Partially Filled Discharge Of A Rainwater Retention Basin

Read about managing water discharge into a mixed water drainage system, electromagnetic flow measurement of water loads, and automated discharge control by way of a structure with overflow. 

Ion Exchange Resins Reduce Pollution From Refineries

A single operational oil and gas refinery produces millions of gallons of contaminated wastewater a year, leading to environmental pollution concerns. Ion exchange resins are a metal- and ion-removal solution to help clean this wastewater for plant reuse or safe disposal. This application guide explains how resins can be used to demineralize refinery water in process, boiler, and cooling water applications.
