WASTEWATER CONTAMINANT REMOVAL RESOURCES

• Peak Wet Weather Flow Management — A Slow And Painful Process

  The water and wastewater industry is not like most businesses. Our industry is driven by many factors, including environmentalist concerns, federal and state regulatory water quality requirements, and utilities being good stewards of our waterways and providing clean water for drinking and recreational use. We have accomplished a lot of great work to clean up our waterways and provide safe water since the Clean Water Act (CWA) was first passed.

• Decentralized Wastewater Treatment Approaches Solve Community Challenges

  Decentralized systems are proving their value beyond traditional use in rural settings, treating larger volumes of wastewater in diverse applications while easing O&M concerns.

• Common UV Lamps For Chemical-Free Disinfection

  When it comes to water and wastewater treatment systems, operational and performance variation will come from different components, including what treatment processes are deployed, whether chemicals are utilized, or how much power the treatment processes require. With many treatment systems, there is much consideration given to a particular central component akin to the heart and soul of the process. In the case of a UV system, the ultraviolet (UV) lamps are this component.

• Refinery Treats Groundwater Contamination While Saving Precious Facility Space

  A large, Midwestern oil refinery installed two identical, 110’ diameter S&L Model R OXIGEST® treatment systems to solve a groundwater treatment problem on-site. Each plant incorporates aeration, clarification, and effluent holding, treating peak flows of 7.2 MGD combined; 4.3 MGD in each plant.

• Pros And Cons Of Wastewater Treatment Methods: Coagulation And Disinfection

  Every stage in a wastewater treatment process is important to achieve the desired treatment results. However, primary treatment and tertiary are critical to the overall process. In the primary treatment process, solids are reduced to a large extent. Without this step, subsequent treatment would be less effective. In tertiary treatment, harmful microbiological matter is rendered killed or inactive so that it will not cause sickness to those organisms that encounter it.

• Coronavirus And The Water Cycle — Here Is What Treatment Professionals Need To Know

  As the global health community tracks the spread of this virus, it’s important for water and wastewater professionals to keep updated on potential impacts.

• 4 Benefits Of Electrocoagulation For Groundwater Treatment

  Even though groundwater sources are somewhat safer from pollution and contamination due to their underground location, they are still susceptible.

• Xylem Helps South Carolina Utility Eliminate Taste And Odor Issues In Drinking Water

  Advanced oxidation treatment system and water treatment plant upgrade save money.

• UV Treatment System Fills The Bill For Water Reuse

  Small city selects full-featured and low maintenance UV treatment for its water reuse system that easily complies with demanding California Title 22 Regulations.

• DAF System Effectively Removes 95% Of TSS For Railcar Bearing Manufacturer

  A manufacturer of railcar bearings, wheels, and axles needed a wastewater system upgrade to treat for oil, grease, suspended solids, and dissolved metals in a mix of process water and storm water runoff. The existing wastewater treatment system in place at the facility consisted of a small equalization tank, traditional clarifier and sand filter.
