WASTEWATER
Maintaining And Improving Jersey City Water Infrastructure
Jersey City in New Jersey is undergoing a period of development and growth which has seen its population increase by more than 50,000 people in the last 13 years. To cater for this growth, the Jersey City Municipal Utilities Authority is tasked with maintaining its aging water infrastructure and improving its critical water supply to ensure it can meet the needs of its customers both now and into the future.
WASTEWATER CASE STUDIES AND WHITEPAPERS

Solving Foaming Problems At Your WWTP
This project provides an unusual "before-and-after" comparison of how a high-solids loaded digester system with a Rotamix mixing system performed before and after the Foambuster was installed.
-
Niederzeuzheim WWTP Case Study The villages of Oberzeuzheim and Niederzeuzheim, Germany are served by the Niederzeuzheim wastewater treatment plant. The plant was originally designed as a nitrification facility for a population of approximately 3,000.

Disk Thickener Technology Replaces Gravity Thickener, Improves Performance Of Digester
After two years operation the plant reports that RoS2S Disk Thickener is consistently producing a 5.5% DS average with an ~0.6% DS average feed at a steady flow of 107 gpm (60 gpm activated, 7 gpm trickling, 40 gpm service water) running 24 hours a day.

County Drastically Cuts Costs With DIMMINUTOR®
Fairfield Wastewater Treatment Plant in Butler County, Ohio was having a lot of trouble with their grinders. The plant serves over 42,500 domestic customers, a number of commercial and industrial institutions as well as Mercy Hospital of Fairfield. They treat about five million gallons of wastewater collected in over 175 miles of sewer pipe each day.

Next-Gen Submersible Solids Handling Pump Helps Protect Pasadena, Texas
A submersible solids handling pump featuring a semi-open impeller and self-cleaning cutter plate solved a severe clogging issue. Operating without a single clog for over six months, the technology delivered "100% uptime" and freed up staff for other vital maintenance.

How Ultrasonic Sensor Technology Can Increase Processing Plant Efficiency
In today’s competitive business environment, which focuses on increased throughput, economies of scale and a healthy bottom line, accurate and reliable measurement is a key component. Monitoring production processes by installing a wide range of sensors including flow, level, temperature, and pressure is common and crucial to be competitive. Although there are many reasons why plant managers decide to install monitoring devices in their process, environmental and regulatory reasons dominate one side of the spectrum, whereas quality, process control and monitoring govern the other.

Turbo Blowers Evolving For Large Sewage Plant Efficiency
Until recently, multi-stage centrifugal blowers and gear-driven single-stage turbo blowers have dominated larger wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) operations. Turbo blowers in the 50 hp to 300 hp range have historically been popular for their low total lifecycle cost in mid-range WWTP applications (from 1 MGD to 20 MGD).

WASTEWATER APPLICATION NOTES

Application Note: Testing Nitrite In Surface Water And Wastewater The Thermo Scientific Orion AQUAfast® AQ3700 Colorimeter comes programmed with methods for testing nutrients. By Thermo Fisher Scientific
-
Magnetic Flow Meters Improve Recycling Of Gas Well-Produced Water
As old gas & oil fields play out, newer methods must be used to extract resources from areas where they are locked in layers of shale. One current technique is known as “fraccing,” in which high pressure water is pumped into the well shaft to “fracture” the rock layers, allowing more natural gas to escape and be collected. However, this technique poses a number of environmental problems, including contamination of water with hydrocarbons, solid particulates, and scale producing ions — making it unsuitable for reuse.
-
Sewage Lift Station Pumping System
Lack of sufficient straight pipe run made it impossible to successfully apply the preferred magnetic flow meter (magmeter) to accurately measure the flow of raw sewage.

Industrial power plants or co-generation power plants utilize steam for industrial purposes other than power production.
LATEST INSIGHTS ON WASTEWATER
-
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.
-
Ozone system performance hinges on reactor design, not generator size. Efficient mass transfer, hydraulic integrity, and contact time ensure consistent oxidation, reduced energy use, and reliable treatment results.
