  • Successful Flygt 4220 Mixer Trial Wins Over Hesitant Utility

    Explore how a wastewater treatment plant realized significant energy savings and increased performance with adaptive mixer technology. 

  • 5 Key Steps To Better Plastic Piping Designs

    Most people understand the inherent benefits of plastic piping — chemical resistance, installation speed, ease of assembly, cost efficiency, longevity in corrosive, harsh exterior or underground environments, etc. Not everyone, however, fully appreciates the nuances of plastic piping design that help to maximize those benefits most efficiently.

  • Sludge Costs Are Wrecking Wastewater Budgets. Here's How MBR Can Help

    Sludge management costs aren’t going away, so your team needs to find a solution. Land application bans, PFAS regulations, and rising disposal costs are making sludge an even bigger financial liability.

  • White Paper: The Principles Of Aeration And Mixing Utilizing Process Aerator Technology

    In the design of wastewater treatment plants, aeration typically involves supply of both oxygen and mixing. Aeration is a large consumer of both energy and operational costs. The Aire-O2 Triton aerator/mixer is a process aeration technology that addresses both of these aspects and is environmentally friendly, which is a winning formula to help achieve long-term sustainability.

  • Corrosion In Wastewater Systems: More Than One Bug

    The role of various bacteria in the destruction of concrete in wastewater systems has been recognized since 1945. Already susceptible to old age, wastewater infrastructure systems are also threatened by corrosive bacteria — but they needn't be. By Heather Ramsey, John Davis, and Gary Hall

  • Headworks Bar Screen — Buy Well, Buy Once!

    Our screens have been installed in all corners of the world and this installation at Selkirk, Manitoba continues that exciting trend. The City of Selkirk is located 14 kms from Winnipeg in the Western Canadian province of Manitoba and is also known as the Catfish Capital of the World!

  • Case Study: RSG 30 In Wastewater Treatment Monitoring

    The Ecograph T RSG 30 data logger is used to monitor Turbidity, DO and pH and provide critical information to meet EPA standards. By Endress+Hauser, Inc.

  • Fats, Oils & Grease Are No Longer A Struggle at Napa Sanitation District

    The Huber Technology Strainpress has helped Napa Sanitation District maximize its investment in the FOG receiving and injection system by improving operations, ensuring the protection of downstream components and enhancing the production of a valuable, revenue generating asset.

  • The Importance Of pH Measurement During Industrial Treatment

    Nearly every industry requires water and wastewater treatment to some degree. From food and beverage to pulp and paper operations, influent and effluent must meet certain conditions to adhere to regulatory and/or performance requirements, and water used during the process must conform as well.

  • Aeration System Solves Lagoon Odors And High Maintenance Problems

    A large vegetable processing facility was experiencing problems with its lagoon surface aerators. The company’s treatment process includes a collection and screening assembly, two anaerobic stabilization ponds and a 40 million gallon aerated lagoon.

WASTEWATER APPLICATION NOTES

WASTEWATER PRODUCTS

The Rotamat® family of products has been the backbone of Huber Technology’s explosive growth in wastewater equipment worldwide from the very beginning. The heart of the idea has been the ability to create a reliable fine screen that provides screening, conveyance, washing, and compacting all combined into one robust and simple machine. Each of the versions of the Rotamat® screens is a Huber original design.

Like the traditional 6x6 Above-Ground Pumping Station, the 6x6T combines quality construction and convenience and comes ready for immediate installation.

The Model FCL is a complete system that measures free chlorine in fresh water. It includes a transmitter (choice of Model 56 or Model 1056), a 499ACL-01 free chlorine sensor, a pH sensor (if required), and a constant head flow controller. The transmitter and flow controller are mounted on a back plate, and quick disconnect Variopol sensor cables are pre-wired to the transmitter, making installation and startup fast and easy.

At Brentwood, trickling filters are often referred to as the “biological treatment workhorse.” By optimizing surface area in a given volume and maintaining the structural integrity required for deep towers, Brentwood media provides an ideal environment for microorganism growth.

From the experts in chlorine management comes a multi-parameter water analysis system offering both chlorine measurement and control in one versatile instrument. Tailor the modular MicroChem®3 to your individual application with up to three measurement parameters. Designed with extensive customer input, the easy and innovative system includes an intuitive touchscreen display, menu-driven software to easily guide users through set-up and operation, and a USB interface for software updates and data log downloads.

HYDROVEX® IHV Euro-type vortex flow regulators are designed to perform dynamic flow regulation. They find their application in Stormwater, Combined or Sanitary Sewers. They are installed at the outlet point of drains, retention tanks, Storm outfalls, etc

LATEST INSIGHTS ON WASTEWATER

  • 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.
  • 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.
