Faster, More Energy-Efficient Dewatering
Energy-efficient dewatering of sludge from phosphorus removal from wastewater Phosphorus removal from wastewater to low total phosphorus (TP) limits, particularly less than 1 mg/L, produces sludge. How much sludge is produced and how easy or difficult the sludge is to...
Gin Clear Effluent
Nothing makes a WWTF operator prouder than the sight of gin-clear effluent spilling over the weirs of the clarifiers. Few things spoil that beautiful sight more than algae growing in the clarifier, catching on the weir as the effluent spills over, floating in the...
Preserving alkalinity – or how happy are your nitrifiers?
If you must remove phosphorus from your wastewater, it is likely you must also remove ammonia- nitrogen. Nitrification, the process of oxidizing ammonia to nitrate and nitrite, is optimal in the narrow range of pH from 7.5 to 8.6. A pH below 7.2 results in a...
The Wastewater pH Seesaw
Get Off The pH Seesaw The pH of your effluent is a standard parameter on every NPDES permit. But more than that, maintaining a pH in the neutral 6 to 8 range is critical to maintaining the biological treatment in your wastewater facility. Maintaining the alkalinity of...
