What is Zeoturb Bio-Organic Liquid Flocculant Treatment?
In most standard water treatment systems, there is a flocculation process that is used to reduce the concentrations of solids within the effluent stream. This particular process makes use of substances that aid in the clumping together of suspended particles. There are several different substances that have been used for decades, but research continues looking for more. Ideally, newer flocculants ...

Separation
Introduction: Ex situ separation can be performed by many processes. Gravity separation and sieving/physical separation are two well-developed processes that have long been primary methods for treating municipal wastewaters. Magnetic separation, on the other hand, is a much newer separation process that is still being tested. Gravity Separation Gravity separation is a solid/liquid separation ...

Novel pretreatment enables performance of MBR installed to treat oily wastewater
Abstract Two new integrated systems processes, gas-energy-mixing (GEM) flotation – electrochemical catalytic oxidation (ECO) – membrane bioreactor (MBR) and ultra-filtration (UF) – ECO – MBR, were tested in industrial-scale pilots of 200L/h to 3000L/h for the treatment and reuse of steel mill cold-rolling emulsion wastewater. The operation parameters and mechanisms of each ...

Problems With Your Separators… Or Is It Just Another “Wild Pig”?
The other day, I received a call from a customer that I have known for years. I’ll call him Juan for purposes of this article. He was a seasoned compressor station operator and knew his plant better than anyone. Today, he was worried sick that his separator had failed and was putting his multi-million-dollar compressor at risk. (For more insights on Separators, check out: Making Sense of ...

What Is the Sludge Treatment Process?
Raw, untreated sewage is a serious hazard to the environment as well as to the nearby population. However, through proper treatment, wastewater facilities can keep up with demand, reduce pathogenic risks, and reintroduce clean water back into the environment. Learn more about the role of sludge treatment in improving wastewater processing. Sewage Sludge When municipal wastewater treatment ...

4-Step Wastewater Sludge Treatment Process
What is in sewage sludge? Sewage sludge is a byproduct of treated wastewater. It is composed of both organic and inorganic materials, a large concentration of plant nutrients, organic chemicals, as well as pathogens. Therefore, it is extremely important to properly treat such sludge in order to minimize its environmental repercussions. Here is a brief overview of the sludge treatment process to ...

Why is drinking water treatment necessary?
Water is found in ample amount almost everywhere on earth. The natural water resources such as lakes, rivers, etc. that provide water contain a lot of pollution, garbage which is unfit for human consumption. To clean the water, it should undergo numerous water treatment media procedures that make it suitable to drink. The water purifiers designed to eliminate or reduce certain types of pollutants ...

From fermentation residues to nutrient concentrate
Treatment of fermentation residue substrates from biogas plants by means of ceramic membranes The growing number of biogas plants makes it increasingly difficult to return the fermentation residue substrates to green spaces or arable land. Especially large-scale plants are often unable to find sufficient disposal possibilities in acceptable distances. Therefore it is sensible to treat ...

Acid Mine Drain (AMD) treatment to achieve very low residual heavy metal concentrations
Abstract Mount Emmons mine wastewater treatment plant currently treats on average around 450,000 gallons per day of acid mine drain (AMD) water collected into several collection ponds. The plant uses standard lime hydroxide precipitation process at pH 10.7 to precipitate heavy metals and remove AMD contaminants with the subsequent flocculation - dissolved air flotation (DAF) and sand filtration. ...

From fermentation residues to nutrient concentrate
The growing number of bio-gas plants makes it in-creasingly difficult to return the fermentation residue substrates to green spaces or arable land. Especially large-scale plants are often unable to find sufficient disposal possibilities in acceptable distances. Therefore it is sensible to treat fermentation residue substrates by suitable screening processes in such a way that they can be ...
