3 Utilities Turning Wastewater Into Opportunity With Advanced Treatment And Reuse

Read about three of the most pressing wastewater challenges utilities face today and how Stratmoor Hills, Key West Resort Utilities, and Beijing Water Group are using advanced treatment and reuse to overcome them.
Impact Of Improved Actuation On Filter Performance

A water filtration treatment plant was built in 1950, pneumatic actuators were installed on all of the filter control valves. The pneumatic actuators were not always reliable. Air compressor problems limited the availability of the pneumatics to control the filter valves.
Actuators On Aeration Blower Valves Improve Dissolved Oxygen And Increase Overall Process Stability

Discover how installing Beck electric actuators on the aeration blower control valves has improved process stability and plant operations for a South Florida treatment plant.
Valve Upgrades Reduce The Number Of Corrective Work Orders By 99%

A water treatment plant was using conventional electric actuators on valves across the facility, including the modulating Filter Effluent applications. A history of actuator problems prompted plant personnel to consider replacements.
Sludge Valve Upgrades Reduce The Number Of Corrective Work Orders

Read about one of the largest wastewater treatment plants in the world that recently finished a project for upgrading its sludge valve actuators.
Key West Resort Utilities Maximizes Reuse And Nutrient Recovery

Water scarcity poses unique challenges to KW Resort Utilities Corp. (KWRU), the utility firm that provides wastewater management, wastewater recovery, and wastewater treatment in the region. KWRU began operation in the late 1960s and has worked hard over the decades to keep up with wastewater needs as population and tourism have boomed, spurred by land reclamation and development.
