Roll-Off Tarp Systems Secure Your Waste - Headache-Free
You know the importance of tarping roll-off dumpsters before you hit the open road. Flying debris makes for unhappy customers, and it invites the DOT and DNR to pay you a visit—not to mention that it could also result in an accident. Of course, bungee strapping tarps by hand is a time-consuming pain in the neck—especially if you’re a one-person show. Enter, roll-off tarp ...

Wastewater lagoons – a new aeration concept
The use of wastewater treatment lagoons, or stabilization ponds, is a common practice for rural municipalities and industrial facilities. Through the years there have been numerous designs for these ‘sludge settling basins,’ ranging from facultative, partial aerated, and fully aerated systems. But the primary reason for these systems is to utilize relatively shallow earthen ponds, or ...

Egg wash wastewater: Estrogenic risk or environmental asset?
Commercial production of eggs and egg products requires the washing of eggs to remove urinary / fecal material and broken egg residue. In the case of one Ohio farming facility, 1.6 million birds produce 1.4 million eggs per day, using ∼50 mL of wash water / egg or ∼ 70,000 L per day. The aqueous waste stream was evaluated for estrogenicity, to determine if potential for endocrine disruption ...

PureAire Universal Gas Detector Offers Protection Against Toxic Levels of Ammonia
In March of 2016, an ammonia gas leak at a seafood processing plant in Boston left one worker dead. The fumes at the plant were so powerful that firefighters could not promptly enter the scene to mitigate the gas leak and try to save the staff member until much later. Reports show that 5,300 pounds of ammonia gas leaked out of the plant. If you work with ammonia at your facility, learn why this ...

Landfills: considering the alternative
The economic side of landfill management isn’t easy. Essentially there is a “product” being sold— airspace. Revenue is generated through tipping fees charged per ton. The more garbage taken in, the more income earned. From that perspective, selling space is good. However, as more garbage is taken in, less space remains and the landfill’s lifespan decreases. The ...
