WASTEWATER TREATMENT RESOURCES
-
Specifying aeration blowers around a single duty point overlooks how flow, pressure, and demand shift over a plant's life. Performance across the full operating envelope shapes efficiency.
-
Conductivity cannot isolate chloride, the ion most responsible for stainless-steel corrosion. Pairing direct chloride measurement with biological and chemistry parameters gives a fuller view of cooling water risk.
-
The first comprehensive assessment of anaerobic digestion at U.S. WRRFs in more than a decade highlights the evolution and shows where resources remain untapped.
-
A well-defined pretreatment program sharpens the tools needed to protect POTWs and mitigate potential problems if discharges in the collection system go awry.
-
Submerged clarifier components force a trade between purchase price and long-term corrosion risk. Galvanized steel, coated steel, and stainless each carry different failure modes, maintenance burdens, and ownership costs.
-
Decades of microbial induced corrosion, repairs that failed to halt deterioration, and heavy traffic shaped a large manhole rehabilitation program, including how methods differed for the most severe structures.
-
Self-cleaning, adaptive submersible pumps are producing field-proven results in small and mid-size lift stations, from fewer clogs to shorter replacement lead times, with performance tied to a defined size range.
-
Automated leak detection, preventive maintenance, safer fittings, and clear labeling help protect personnel and equipment from chemical metering hazards.
-
Effective aeration blower specifications account for environmental conditions, technology selection, electrical requirements, and controls—not just airflow and pressure.
-
What plant operators really want from field measurement tools, and why so many good methods end up on the shelf.
