Reduce Maintenance Needs For Weirs
“I LOVE scrubbing weirs”, said no operator EVER! If you have phosphorus in your treatment plant (and who doesn’t?) you know that it can lead to algae growth, particularly in your clarifiers. Even if you treat with the traditional ferric or aluminum-based...
Improve Phosphorus Removal And Reduce Chemical Usage
Improve Phosphorus Removal And Simplify If you are using ferric or aluminum-based coagulants to remove phosphorus from your effluent, there’s good news. One easy switch can significantly improve your phosphorus removal and simplify your operation. You can probably...
NeoWaterFX300, pH and Alkalinity
Neo WaterFX300 (formerly RE300) is a rare earth-based coagulant for use in water treatment. It is mainly composed of the ionic forms of Cerium (Ce) but can contain other rare earths such as Lanthanum (La), Neodymium (Nd), and Praseodymium (Pr) among others. Neo...
Slash Sludge Disposal Costs
Is sludge disposal disposing of too much of your operating budget? A 2016 report1 prepared for the Vermont legislature, relying on national level EPA cost analysis, “estimated that approximately 40% of a WWTF’s total annual operating cost is spent on solids...
Control Of Algal Bloom In Wastewater Treatment
Fight The Bloom! When algal blooms strike, regulators strike back, drafting wastewater treatment plants into the fight. Drafted into the fight against Harmful Algal Blooms? The world’s water resources are being invaded and wastewater treatment plants are often the...
