Wastewater Treatment Plant Monitors Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Globally, little attention is paid to gaseous emissions from wastewater treatment processes. This contrasts greatly with the regulatory monitoring that is applied to the quality of water emissions from such facilities. However, in Helsinki, Finland, a large municipal wastewater treatment facility continuously monitors its emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) to help in the city’s efforts to ...

A perfect pair: SBR designs & advanced aeration technology

Conventional sequencing batch reactors (SBRs) that utilize diffused-air networks have existed in the U.S. for about three decades now. The reliability of controls and instrumentation has significantly improved in the last 10 to 15 years, and as a result, SBR plant designs are becoming more widely accepted. The attractiveness of their compact layout and ease of operation has also helped increase ...

Energy Recovery from Residual Waste by Means of Anaerobic Digestion Technologies

ABSTRACT Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a natural process, spontaneously taking place in natural surroundings, such as marshes,bogs, paddies, or in cesspits, landfills, and dedicated digesters, used for the conversion of organic waste into a rich gas. Typical AD substrates are: manure, sewage sludge, high BOD wastewater, and – more recently - the organic fraction of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW), ...

Electrocoagulation Wastewater Treatment: Specialized Technology to meet the needs of food & beverage wastewater

The effects of water scarcity and stricter environmental regulations placed on water usage are increasing the cost of using freshwater globally. The consequences of these increasing costs on food and beverage companies are twofold, since the companies are charged for both the water that they utilize in their processes and on their wastewater discharge. Additionally, the food and beverage industry ...

How to prepare your WWTP for cold weather

Being proactive during cold weather can noticeably reduce wastewater treatment plant upsets While most people enjoy the cooler temperatures that come with fall, they can cause a well-running wastewater treatment plant to have issues almost overnight. Bacteria do not reduce BOD or reproduce as effectively during the colder months of the year. They generally favor temperatures between 68 and ...
