Learn how the Millsboro processing plant replaced mechanical surface aerators with SDOX technology to fulfill the oxygen needs of the various biological treatment processes without interrupting operations.

Pile cloth media filtration technology has been around for decades, used mainly for tertiary wastewater treatment — a final stage of the treatment process — to filter effluent before it leaves the plant. However, the technology is now poised to provide extensive benefits as an advanced primary treatment technology. It stacks up well against other methods, which include chemically enhanced solutions that present additional operating costs and ultrafine screens that remove fewer solids.

Read about a wastewater treatment plant whose UV system was unable to reliably meet mandated disinfection requirements, and why it opted to switch to a chemical treatment solution. 

For most small to midsize lagoon-based wastewater operations, maintaining effluent quality throughout the year is a challenge. Much of this is fueled by the difficulty of meeting permit limits for ammonia discharge, especially during winter months when the temperatures are colder. As a result, lagoon managers would benefit significantly from more reliability in the ammonia removal process.

In this case study, read about a community-owned utility that partnered with AMERICAN to provide 53,000 feet of ductile iron pipe for a new water reclamation facility. 

Employing roughly 5,000 workers in 12 countries, Vandemoortele bakery and production plant owes its success to high standards of quality, innovative production technologies, and a flair for finding economic alternatives. The latest example is the SITRANS FC430 Coriolis flow meter.

A wastewater plant uses an activated sludge secondary process that utilizes a biological process that introduces microbes as soon as the flow enters the plant.

Title 22 of California’s Water Recycling Criteria is among the strictest water treatment standards for water recycling and reuse in the United States. Fluence’s MABR demonstration plant was installed at the Codiga Resource Recovery Center (CR2C) in Stanford, California, in January 2018 for the purpose of third-party evaluation. The testing parameters included criteria to evaluate reliable enhanced nutrient removal in the form of Total Nitrogen, which is increasingly important across the United States and difficult and costly to achieve through conventional wastewater treatment.

Old municipal and industrial wastewater lagoons have the tendency to build islands of sludge at various locations around the lagoon. It is most common for older lagoons to build such islands wherever wastewater enters the lagoons.

This application note explores a test which demonstrated significant improvements in Oil-in-Water monitoring of industrial wastewater in comparison to the weekly grab sample analysis method.

The most common level application in the water and waste water industry is the infamous wet well. With its line-of-sight measurement technology, rugged sensor, narrow laser beam and virtually nonexistent maintenance requirements or on-site calibration, ABB’s LLT100 laser level transmitter answers most concerns related to wet well level measurements and makes it easy to calculate what could amount to a substantial return on investment.

A municipal wastewater plant in North America sought a reliable flow measurement for one of their key wastewater lines. The existing dual-channel ultrasonic flowmeter from a competitor had consistently failed to provide accurate readings.

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

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

For more than 20 years, USP Technologies’ comprehensive biosolids odor and corrosion control solutions have been extremely effective at reducing sulfides and other odor causing compounds in municipal and industrial wastewater treatment systems.

Read about the cloth media filter installations that have been operating in food and beverage wastewater plants for over 25 years.

Pesticide residue laboratories are required to undertake analyses of an ever increasing number of samples. The analyses typically involve use of multi-residue methods (both GC-MS and LC-MS) to test for over 500 pesticide residues.

Tightening phosphate limits require high-precision monitoring to ensure compliance and economical chemical dosing. Refined photometric methods now offer superior accuracy at ultra-low ranges, providing the stable data necessary to optimize wastewater treatment processes.
