Bypass Pumping System - How to choose the right pumping system to securely meet your objectives in a cost effective manner
Many bypasses are similar in appearance and name, but it’s their subtle differences that require close attention to fully understand component performance parameters. To determine the right pump, we first need to understand many different aspects of the physical conditions of the application – Flow, Lift/Pump Strength, and Distance. FLOW – is the quantity of liquid being ...

Environmental incident response, North-East England
Project Remediation Strategies were requested to attend a manufacturing facility in North-East England following an overnight fire at the site. Fire-fighting operations and the site sprinkler system had created a large volume of contaminated run-off together with widespread flooding across the shop floor area of the manufacturing facility. Productivity was stopped across the entire site and ...

Bank filtration as managed surface-groundwater interaction
Riverbank Filtration (RBF) is a managed surface-groundwater interaction process where surface water is induced to flow to pumping wells installed on the banks of rivers and lakes. We present the surface-groundwater interaction issues at various geomorphologic settings, from the headwaters of a river to its confluence with the oceans/lakes. In each reach, the factors for the sustainable operation ...

Issues of drinking water quality of small scale water services towards climate change
As climate change could impact water quantity and quality, important concerns are related to water quality degradation in small scale water services (SSWS). SSWS using surface waters resources (rivers and lakes) for drinking water production are particularly vulnerable to short term transient events due to their low adaptation capacity and their lack of support and technical knowledge compared to ...

Effective Groundwater Monitoring Using Dedicated Pumping Tubes
This article describes a groundwater monitoring procedure that does not require decontamination of pumping equipment, eliminates the chance of cross contamination between wells, and uses a surface pump. Two surface pumps are described, one for water level depths less than 25 feet and one for water level depths greater than 25 feet. Install Dedicated Pumping Tubes A dedicated pumping tube ...

Real-Time Monitoring Solution for Harmful Algal Blooms - Case Study
Background Microscopic plants (algae) that live in the sea will sometimes grow out of control and produce harmful toxins that can contaminate water and shell fish, kill animals, and sicken humans. These negative consequences can have large monetary effects that ripple across many industries. In 2011, it was estimated that health consequences due to marine-borne pathogens in the USA have annual ...

Pump Station call outs a thing of the past - Case Study
It’s 2:00 AM and a telephone rings in Eckville, Alberta. Rick McKinnon checks the display on his cell phone and groans. It’s another high level call out alarm from one of the town’s new sewage lift stations. He knows before he drives there that the system will be running on floats instead of the new ultrasonic level controller. Rick is Public Works Supervisor for the Town of ...

Spolchemie site remediation and NanoRem field site application
Site Remediation The Spolchemie site was chosen as one of the NanoRem case study sites, to test two types of nanoparticles (NPs) (zerovalent iron - nZVI and iron oxide NPs) for in situ remediation of BTEX (Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene, and Xylenes) contamination. Nanoremediation was seen as an opportunity to enhance the in situ biodegradation of the BTEX contaminants and to reduce the current ...
