Our customers have realized significant cost savings by utilizing geotextile bags/tubes over alternative methods such as expensive dewatering box rentals, mechanical presses, sludge lagoons, wet hauling, or sand drying ...
Wastewater treatment plants are constantly facing the battle of reducing sludge while trying to keep the cost of energy down. The city of Meridian, Mississippi, which operates two wastewater treatment plants, used to fall into this category until it was introduced to the Sewper Rx, a patented bio-augmentation process designed to reduce noxious odor and organic sludge build-up, while improving ...
Within 30 days of the initial Sewper Rx introduction, the reduction in organic waste in the digester made it possible for the plant operator to suspend pressing sludge altogether. The digester was now capable of accepting all of the solids from the SBR without the need to press and haul sludge from the plant on a monthly basis. ...
It is business 101: companies do not want to spend more money than they need for their basic utilities. This especially applies to dealing with liquid waste. Waste should be removed as quickly and efficiently as possible so other important business matters can be attended to. One of the most effective devices companies who produce a lot of liquid waste can utilize is a sludge dewatering box. At ...
Sludge dewatering processes remove the bulk of the moisture from sludge, leaving behind solid filter cakes. ...
Claytek operates several patented shear mixing systems, each of which can be adapted to the clients needs. In general, one system has a throughput of 25 m3/hr. Both portable or stationary options are ...
Step 2 – Sludge Digestion After amassing all the solids from the sewage sludge begins the sludge digestion process. ...
They were soon noticing improvements in their mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS), and the amount of sludge that was being produced at their plant. That there were other benefits to the Micro Bar Screen is an understatement! Kingsland’s sludge hauling costs have been cut by more than half, and so has the run-time on their belt press and ...
By installing an oil skimming system, the company was able to increase production as planned, reduce the amount of chemicals needed to treat the wastewater and decrease hauling costs for sludge removal by 30 percent. Oil Skimmers Prove Their Worth Regardless of the industry, oil skimmers have proven their worth when it comes to removing oil from wastewater in a ...
In the summer of 2011, at the Louisiana Rural Water Association (LRWA) meeting, I came across a product that promised to cut my sludge hauling costs to the point that it might actually provide a return on investment. At that time we were contracting for hauling a 20 cubic yard trailer load of sludge once a month for disposal. ...
Because of the large amount of sludge in the subject lagoon, Reliant used its patented sludge digestant, Sewper Rx, to assist in breaking down the sludge. This bacterial mix is commonly used in activated sludge wastewater plants for the reduction of sludge to be hauled, thereby saving the plant ...
Ecosorb Spray Gel solution is also used to cap odors from escaping into the atmosphere and can be dispersed onto trucks hauling solid waste or sludge and around landfills to effectively and safely neutralize malodors. ...
The City of Bowie, in Northern Texas, which is named for the legendary frontiersman and knife fighter Jim Bowie, recently added an Or-Tec xpress 1700 belt press to its WWTP. The Or-Tec xpress joins an Or-Tec Mark II 1500 that has been operating at the plant since 2006. Plant Superintendent Jerry Sutton says that although Bowie considered other manufacturer's equipment, they chose a second OR-TEC ...
After visiting the site and looking at the best treatment options for this facility, CWT proposed after the GEM System. an Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB) Bioreactor followed by Aerobic Treatment and Clarification. ...
The Retrofit with GEM Technology provided the Client with the following Benefits: Decreased Use of Chemicals Insurmountable TSS, FOG and BOD Reductions Better Contaminant Removal Rates Expandable in terms of Loadings and Flow Able to Remove all Non-Dissolved Materials Lower Sludge Hauling Costs Reduced Secondary Treatment Costs ...
This attracts more waste particles per polymer providing more efficient chemical usage, better contaminant removal and tighter and firmer sludge (less “sludge by volume”). The sludge produced by the GEM System is 25 - 50% less than other technologies while the size of the unit is 50 – 90% smaller. ...
Success Story #2: Trucking Company A Minnesota-based trucking company with a fleet of tanker trucks has had its fair share of challenges when it comes to oily sludge. When washing out the fleet’s tankers, which are used to haul soybean oil, oily sludge often mixes with the washdown water. The company has attempted to use various ...
The WWTP is currently undergoing a retrofit to convert the process from its current configuration (contact stabilization) to an integrated fixed film activated sludge (IFAS) system. During the retrofit the plant will be limited to operating with just half of the available biological processing capacity, In-Pipe treatment during the retrofit period will ensure that the plant ...
Performance History and Discussion The Farmington Water Pollution Control Authority (FWPCA) selected In-Pipe Technology to improve the performance of the WWTP by reducing sludge production and improving the nitrogen removal efficiency of the treatment process. ...
Jackson, the capital and largest city in Mississippi, was looking for ways to reduce sludge expenses from polymer to hauling and disposal fees. In-Pipe was first introduced in Jackson on a limited basis beginning in 2002 for the purpose of controlling FOG and odors at certain locations. ...
