Neo WaterFX Helps Protect Communities from Harmful and Potentially Deadly Algal Blooms
Algal blooms have gotten more widespread and more severe in the last decade. Algal blooms thrive in warmer waters, and with water warming earlier in the spring and staying warm longer into the fall, the algal bloom season is also extended. In addition, water resources...
Phosphorus Removal in Wastewater Doesn’t Require Massive Chemical Feeds with Neo WaterFX
Phosphorus removal from wastewater used to require massive chemical feeds. The large quantities of chemical required starts with the coagulant feeds of traditional aluminum or iron salts, which typically require a 4:1 to a 10:1 metal to phosphate ratio to achieve the...
Removing P from Wastewater with Less Chemical = Less Chemical Sludge
Chemical coagulants to remove phosphorus from wastewater create chemical sludge. The amount of sludge produced depends upon which coagulant you use, and the dosage required to meet your discharge limits. Ultimately the volume and mass of the sludge requiring...
Reduce Chemical Sludge from Phosphorus Removal – and the Associated Disposal Costs
Trucking Costs Have Risen, Driving Up Sludge Disposal Costs Have your phosphorus removal related sludge disposal costs increased this fall? If so, you are not alone. Trucking costs have increased substantially, driven by higher gas and diesel prices and a shortage of...
