In June 2026 a peer-reviewed article in AWWA Opflow documents sedimentation-basin algae control using an LG Sonic ultrasonic system at Central Alabama Water's Shades Mountain Filter Plant in Birmingham, Alabama. ...
In these conditions, real-time data are critical.What Real-Time Monitoring ImprovesFaster recognition of composition changes during field measurementsBetter time resolution for dynamic degassing studiesImproved interpretation of short-duration eventsOn-site sampling strategy adjustments based on real-time dataStronger datasets for subsequent geochemical analysisFor volcanic field campaigns, ...
Initial Research, and the Hunter's Point and Grasse River Pilot Studies The early research on using sorbents such as activated carbon to reduce the bioavailability of contaminants in sediment followed the use of these materials for removing chemicals from water. Laboratory experiments shown significant reduction in the uptake and toxicity of hydrophobic organic ...
Partnering with LiquiTech, the university implemented an innovative solution to install a LiquiTech® Sediment Filtration System on the cold water supply. By preventing sediment from entering the building, the cold water system quickly returned to non-detect Legionella levels. ...
Turbidity meters are integrated into these processes to ensure product quality, consistency, and safety. 4. Research and Scientific Studies Turbidity measurements are essential in various scientific studies, including ecology, hydrology, and limnology. Researchers rely on turbidity meters to assess sediment transport, study ...
Sitelab Corporation was hired by an environmental contractor to analyze 100 sediment samples collected from a post-dredge area covering a 1 mile stretch of river in Hammond, Indiana. The data was used to determine which of the 25 sample locations would require further ...
Customer / Type of customer Ile Charlemagne Leisure Centre Orléans Métropole- FRANCE Issue / Need In 2019, Orléans launched a project to redevelop the Île Charlemagne leisure centre’s lake, with the aim of cleaning up a large part of the sediment that has accumulated there. For technical and environmental reasons, they opted for a hydraulic dewatering system ...
Probiotics used in the aqua environment is an increasing attempt to enhance water and pond/lake soil quality. Probiotics usually have a microbial and plant origin. The most commonly known probiotics belong to bacteria. You may be surprised to learn that bacillus probiotics are used as soil and water quality enhancer in ponds. However, aquaculture is a fast-growing industry to fulfill the demand ...
Abstract : This study reports on the potential of the Toxkit microbiotests and the bacterial luminescence test Microtox®, to detect and quantify the toxicity of the sediments of the river Seine and a few tributary rivers in France. The objective of the research was to try to identify a minimum test battery for routine toxicity screening of river ...
Abstract :A large monitoring study of 80 freshwater sediments, using the TRIAD approach, was conducted in Flanders, Belgium using a battery of microbiotests and conventional assays. ...
In this review, some of the major studies conducted in the area of microbiotesting are highlighted. These include 1) adapting the Microtox® acute toxicity assay in a 96-well microplate format to markedly increase its sample throughput capabilities, 2) employing the SOS Chromotest™ to determine the genotoxic status of major industrial effluents discharging to the ...
A core, in marine research, is a cylindrical section taken from sediments underlying a water body. Core samplers, the instruments used to obtain cores, range from the simple to the complex. ...
This study was conducted to assess the levels of toxic metals like arsenic (As), chromium (Cr), cadmium (Cd), and lead (Pb) in water and sediments of the Pasur River in Bangladesh. ...
The SediMeter™ SM4 has the same sensor as SM3 for beload transport, erosion and sediment accumulation; plus nephelometric turbidimeters for suspended sediment transport; plus an accelerometer for detecting energy levels and for conditions based monitoring (CBM); plus UV anti-fouling; plus a fluorescence meter; plus a light meter for good measure. ...
Since the 1970s, dead zones have been discovered in the Chesapeake Bay, the Kattegat Strait, and the Baltic, Black, and Adriatic Seas. A 2008 study found more than 400 such zones around the world, in South America, China, Japan, southeast Australia, and elsewhere. ...
Land use has been modified by various human endeavors, altering hydrology and increasing export of sediment and nutrients. The objective of this study was to predict spatial and temporal patterns of hydrology, and export of sediment and nutrients from the GRW to Lake Erie using the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model. ...
In this research, the levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were investigated in the marine sediments of Asaluyeh harbor, in the Persian Gulf. The samples were taken from industrial, semi-industrial and urban regions. ...
Application The Aqua America plant in Tiffin sought a cost-effective, automatic solids removal solution that would eliminate the tedious, time-consuming process of taking the tanks down for maintenance. SedVac enabled Aqua America to cut down on sludge removal frequency, delivering cost savings and reliability despite fluctuations in influent water quality. ...
Application The Beaufort-Jasper Water & Sewer Authority required a sludge removal system with a low profile for easy integration below tube settlers. SedVac was chosen based on its ability to be incorporated into the existing basin with minimal infrastructure changes and its successful pilot at the facility – it removed twice as much sludge in half the time and wasted 50% less water ...
This study analyses the mobilization of total suspended solids (TSS) for different spatial distributions of sediment load located over the roadway surface of a full-scale street section physical model. ...
