Operational adjustments when switching to WaterFX
Operational changes from switching to Neo WaterFX for phosphorus removal from wastewater. Making the switch from “traditional” coagulants (iron or aluminum salts) to Neo WaterFX WILL require a few operational adjustments due to improved and simplified operations....
Denser Drier Sludge
Phosphorus Removal and Sludge Management Removing phosphorus from wastewater usually involves use of a coagulant, especially if you have a low Total Phosphorus (TP) limit. Traditional coagulants, carried over from the water treatment side of the industry, are based on...
Neo WaterFX300 Protects Sensitive River while Aiding Expansion at Coppermine WRF
Growth can often be a double-edged sword for a water reclamation facility (WRF). With an expansion looming to double the capacity of their membrane bioreactor (MBR) facility, the Coppermine WRF was exploring ways to improve their phosphorus removal from wastewater....
WaterFX reduces chemical feeds
WaterFX reduces chemical feeds Removing phosphorus from wastewater can add a lot to your chemical feeds, and to your costs. First, there is the coagulant. If you are using aluminum or ferric-based coagulants, the amount of coagulant you add is often at least 4 to 1 in...
Better Dewatering with Neo WaterFX
Crystals Beat Floc — Better Dewatering with Neo WaterFXRemoving phosphorus from wastewater can create large quantities of difficult to dewater sludge, driving up disposal costs. The cause is choosing the wrong coagulant. Traditional coagulants, iron or aluminum based,...
