WASTEWATER TREATMENT RESOURCES

• Why Energy Efficiency Is The Quietest Form Of Risk Management

  For the better part of a decade, industrial electricity prices behaved like a slowly shifting floor. From 2016 through 2020, wholesale prices in most major markets were remarkably stable. A plant built in 2018 could reasonably expect its electricity costs to drift, not lurch, through the early 2020s. That baseline is gone.

• The Devastating Legacy Of Algaecides: Why The Quick Fix Is Failing Our Lakes

  As warmer months approach, water management professionals must confront the compounding consequences of biocidal algae treatments.
• Mass Transfer Efficiency: The Most Important Metric In Ozone System Design

  Ozone output doesn’t guarantee performance. Learn how mass transfer efficiency determines how much ozone dissolves, drives treatment results, and impacts energy use and system design.

• Beyond Clarification: Optimizing Polyacrylamide Selection For High-Complexity Industrial Wastewater Treatment

  Polyacrylamide (PAM) selection in industrial wastewater treatment is frequently reduced to a trial-and-error exercise, resulting in reagent waste, inconsistent effluent quality, and inflated operating costs. This article presents a structured framework for PAM optimization across three critical variables — ionic charge density, molecular weight, and coagulant synergy.
• Beyond Clarifiers: How Advanced Primary Filtration Solves Wet Weather Capacity Challenges

  Pile cloth media filtration treats wet weather flows in real time, increasing capacity, improving removal efficiency, and helping utilities reduce reliance on limited stormwater storage.

• Precision Control In The Aeration Basin: A Case Study In Flow-Based DO Stabilization

  Flow-based DO control and advanced blowers help stabilize aeration, reduce energy consumption, and improve treatment performance, turning a major wastewater cost center into an efficiency opportunity.

• The Evolution Of Efficient Biosolids Solutions

  Modern biosolids management requires sophisticated biological treatment to achieve Class A pathogen reduction and efficient solids destruction. Explore how integrated aerobic digestion and nutrient management technologies provide reliable, cost-effective paths toward regulatory compliance.

• The Pragmatic Shift In Source Water Protection: Moving From Symptom Management To Root-Cause Accountability

  A shift in how we approach source water protection is long overdue. Currently, we are trapped in a cycle of escalating costs, forced to treat symptoms like algae and invasive weeds expediently with chemicals while the underlying risk in the reservoir compounds. True risk management requires breaking this cycle.
• How To Choose Among Wastewater Screen Options

  Wastewater screening isn’t one-size-fits-all. The right choice depends on flow, debris, and efficiency needs, with long-term performance and maintenance costs shaping the best solution.

• Lowering Project Costs With AquaNereda® Aerobic Granular Sludge Technology

  Aerobic granular sludge enables compact, energy-efficient nutrient removal, helping utilities increase capacity and reduce costs without expanding footprint or relying on complex, multi-stage treatment systems.
