WASTEWATER TREATMENT RESOURCES

• Renting Or Buying Aeration Equipment: A Decision Framework

  Project duration, available capital, and operational risk can help wastewater facilities determine whether renting or purchasing an aeration blower is the better fit.

• That Color Isn't Right – What Went Wrong?

  Chemical interferences during water testing can hide critical corrosion issues and fuel bacterial growth. Understanding colorimetric chemistry helps operators accurately identify testing anomalies, correct pH conditions, and protect cooling systems from bio-fouling.

• Managing Growth Under Water Constraints: What Utilities Can Learn From Industrial Water Users

  As communities and industries compete for finite water supplies, utilities are looking for strategies that support economic growth while reducing pressure on existing resources.

• How To Intensify Phosphorus Removal While Reducing Costs And Footprint

  Ballasted clarification provides intensified phosphorus removal with a smaller footprint, lower chemical and water consumption, and flexible retrofit options for wastewater treatment plants.

• Meeting Stringent Nutrient Limits With Gravity-Fed Biofiltration

  Gravity-fed biofiltration helps wastewater plants meet stringent nutrient limits while minimizing energy use, simplifying operations, and providing durable, adaptable tertiary treatment.

• Is Wastewater-Derived Bioplastic Utility-Ready?

  For years, researchers focused on a basic question: Can mixed microbial cultures use real wastewater or sludge-derived carbon to accumulate polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) inside their cells? Recent evidence has strengthened the answer.

• Don't Ditch The Ditch: New Oxidation Ditch Technologies Enhance Nutrient Removal

  Advanced oxidation ditches combine multichannel treatment, efficient aeration, and smart controls to improve nutrient removal while reducing energy use, maintenance, and infrastructure requirements.

• The High Cost Of Dirty Data In Wastewater Automation

  High-frequency radar provides reliable wastewater level measurement that strengthens digital twins, predictive analytics, and automated collection systems while reducing sensor maintenance.

• Beyond The Screen: Why Debris Management Deserves More Attention

  Evolving debris characteristics and aging collection infrastructure place unprecedented operational stress on downstream equipment. Evaluating preliminary treatment efficiency helps facilities eliminate chronic maintenance demands, safeguard critical infrastructure, and protect operating budgets.

• 5 Questions To Ask Before Reusing Clarifier Specifications

  Reusing master equipment specifications without evaluating application-specific hydraulics or basin geometries creates costly mechanical conflicts. Auditing legacy requirements ensures every structural and operational component directly supports site-specific treatment goals.
