The sedimentation step handles up to 80 million gallons per day (MGD).For years, a perimeter mat of seasonal filamentous algae formed along the basin and around the filter intakes. While growth was persistent rather than explosive, it created downstream challenges, including algae carryover into filters, higher head loss, shortened filter runs, ...
The Problem: In the manufacturing of cardboard boxes, ink is used to print a client’s information on the container. During the change-outs of the printing press, the ink is washed off the printing roller to ready the process for the next client’s container. This washing generates a waste ink high in solids that in order to discharge the box manufacturer has paid excessive discharge ...
To achieve consistent, high-performance treatment from a trickling filter, it is not enough to focus on the trickling filter alone. Trickling filters are biological systems that depend on stable hydraulics, proper loading, and effective solids separation both upstream and downstream. Understanding the complete path from influent to ...
Physical practices are the preferred method for snail control as they manage populations without detrimental effects to the filter biomass. These strategies should be implemented early into the filter life and done on a consistent basis. ...
Industrial effluent treatment has a role in managing industries’ environmental impact. A considerable amount of wastewater, called effluents, is produced from factories and industrial plants and may contain a large number of pollutants that are harmful to any ecosystem and humans. This imposes the need to treat such effluent not only to minimize environmental damage but also to comply with ...
Dealing with wastewater can be a major headache. On-site domestic wastewater treatment systems are a game-changer for homes and businesses. These systems, often called septic systems, provide efficient wastewater treatment without relying on municipal plants. This puts you in control of your wastewater management. Learn how these decentralized wastewater systems work. Discover advanced ...

Two ChemScan sequencers were installed to monitor the plant’s five-stage BNR process, testing for nitrite, nitrate, ammonia and phosphorous from primary clarifier influent through tertiary filter effluent. Challenge The McDowell Creek Water Resource Recovery Facility, part of Charlotte Water, expanded from a permitted capacity of 6 MGD to 12 MGD in 2007. ...
Answering the Big Questions It was the first time building his own house. Eric Clark had just bought 2 acres on the outskirts of town, where he planned on building a 3-bedroom home for him and his family. Eric chose everything he thought he needed for his new home. The contractors were hired and he was ready to see construction begin. But when Eric was asked whether he wanted a plastic ...
While commonly perceived as competing technologies, did you know that these two processes can actually work together to improve performance, reduce operational cost, and simplify operation? When we think of trickling filter and activated sludge processes as partners instead of competitors, we end up with a best-of-both-worlds approach to produce high-quality final ...
Pretreatment → ultraviolet sterilization device → primary RO device → secondary RO device → intermediate water tank → EDI device → deoxygenation device → nitrogen sealed pure water tank → removal of TOC UV device → polishing mixed bed → ultrafiltration device → water point The effluent quality of the pure water treatment ...
The main purpose of a trickling filter, or biotower, support system is to support the media above. But did you know that supports also play a crucial role in successful system operation and performance? Understanding the importance of support systems, the benefits and limitations of manufacturer-supplied systems, and what pertinent design information to be cognizant of will help expedite a ...
The second is high total suspended solids (TSS) in the effluent from sand filters. To protect the operational environment from corrosion, microbial growth, and to provide consistent flow rate, the plant expected the TSS should be reduced to 5 mg/l from current average of approximately 50 mg/l. ...
Issues and Challenges: 220 acres of exposed soils Record rainfall amounts Potential surrounding sensitive area impact Overwhelmed retention/detention basins Approaches and Methods: Eight million gallons of stormwater was treated and released off-site using a filtration chain of pumps, settling tanks, and sand filters. Discharge water was required to be less than ...
Selection basis of filter material: (1) It must have sufficient mechanical strength to avoid rapid wear and tear during the backwashing process; (2) Better chemical stability; (3) It does not contain substances that are harmful to human health or toxic, and does not contain substances that are harmful to production or affect production; (4) When selecting ...
Due to the necessary capacity increase, the effluent for the upgraded plant was required to meet a more stringent quality than the existing facility. ...
Filter Concept designed cartridge filters specifically for industrial manufacturers Cartridge filters are fundamental industrial equipment employed in multiple industries. ...
Following pre-treatment (grit removal, primary clarifier and trickling filter), the effluent flows into a five-pond lagoon system. Pond 1 is split into 3 cells, each with a volume of 1.46 MG, surface area of 0.69 acres, and a mean depth of 6-7 ft. ...
