North Las Vegas’s field facility is an MBR plant that was brand new when Huber’s rotary fine screens were implemented as part of its new water treatment and reclamation process. The facility is “smart,” using a level of technology at which few large plants operate. Huber’s advanced fine screening technology plays a key role in the impressive and innovative technology lineup.

This is the second in a series of three white papers describing the design and performance of the NeoTech Aqua ReFlex™ treatment chamber. The first describes in detail the theoretical basis for the very high efficiency demonstrated by the chamber. The third paper describes how this chamber design leads to some highly desirable operational advantages beyond just energy ad cost reduction. By J. R. Cooper, Ph. D. and Gwynne Cavender, NeoTech Aqua Solutions, Inc.

When Hurricanes Katrina and Rita struck the Gulf Coast in 2005, the impact was immediate and devastating.

The Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary defines traceability as “a: to follow the footprints, track, or trail of b: to follow or study out in detail or step by step… c: to discover by going backward over the evidence step by step … d: to discover signs, evidence, or remains of”. At EBAA Iron traceability allows you as the end user or us as the manufacturer to go backward into the production process and discover the signs that reveal the casting properties to the base level.

According to the American Water Works Association (AWWA), with the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic impacting communities throughout the world, water professionals are working around the clock to ensure that safe, reliable water service continues to flow. But what if many of these essential employees now must work from home or only minimal crews are on-site at the plants?

In the inlet of the plant, the raw sewage water is filtered through 3 automated systems. The filtration systems are equipped with an endless mesh, which captures the solid materials. By Endress+Hauser, Inc.

AMERICAN is helping rebuild Puerto Rico’s vital water infrastructure after Hurricane Maria, supplying American-made products to strengthen resiliency for 3.5 million residents and millions of annual visitors.

On paper and in practice, aeration options and their corresponding efficiencies are calculated and compared.

These equations and soil parameters are an effort to provide the piping system designer with conservative techniques and parameters for the design of underground restrained joint piping systems. 

In spring 2016, a significant rain event sent the Jonesborough Wastewater Department in Tennessee back to the drawing board.

The textile manufacturing industry encompasses many and diverse processes that rely heavily on the use of water, energy, chemicals, and other resources. Wet spinning, sizing, desizing, scouring, bleaching, mercerization, dyeing and printing are just a few. Monitoring and controlling the pH, TDS/Conductivity/Salt Concentration, ORP (REDOX), and Temperature of the aqueous solutions used in these processes conserves costly resources, controls quality, and reduces the amount of pollution that must be treated before discharge of effluent wastes. This can be done manually with handheld instruments or automatically with in-line monitor/controllers.

This customer supplies district heating and electricity for the region of Sønderborg. For one of their waste applications a MAG meter failed within 6 months, and was successfully replaced with a Panametrics Aquatrans AT600.

As interest in biogas grows, more attention is being paid to measuring biogas flow, which has long been a problem area in process measuring technology.

This application profile focuses on two test sites with different treatment requirements and describes how Aqua-Aerobic Systems’ OptiFiber® pile cloth media filtration was used at both sites to address the removal of harmful constituents from refinery wastewater.

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

Monitoring phosphate during the wastewater treatment process allows for fine-tuning and optimizing chemical dosing for removal of phosphate, which provides significant cost savings to the plant while protecting the aquatic environment downstream of the facility.

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.

The argument has been used that PVC pipe is delicate and can’t be subjected to any kind of loading. In EBAA's years of testing we have found that is not the case at all. PVC can take an extreme amount of strain.
