The study provides utilities with an independent, operations-focused reference for evaluating ultrasonic algae control.Study scope and independenceThe article presents a full-cycle field evaluation conducted by Central Alabama Water with an academic partner from the University of Alabama.It reports practical findings from an installed system in an active drinking-water basin, not vendor ...
Chlorates are harmful byproducts that typically form during the degradation of stored chlorine-based disinfectants like sodium hypochlorite. Factors such as high storage temperatures, long shelf lives, and high chemical concentrations accelerate this breakdown, leading to residues that can interfere with thyroid function. ...
For nearly a decade, a seasoned water treatment technician had managed a 60,000-gallon open counter-flow cooling tower at a manufacturing facility near Houston, Texas. The system faced a persistent challenge: a water pH of ...
Abstract Many water and process systems are experiencing increasing operational strain due to rising organic loads, biofilm development, and higher chemical demand. These challenges often manifest as instability in treatment performance rather than immediate regulatory exceedances. This article summarizes findings from full-scale municipal testing of Jenfltch JC9450 and translates those findings ...
Traditional winterization chemistries—especially sodium hypochlorite and other unstable oxidizers—lose potency in these conditions, leaving systems vulnerable during the months when they need protection most. ...
In a 100 000 gpd power-plant cooling tower in Oklahoma, elevated heterotrophic plate counts (>105 CFU/mL) persisted through summer despite continuous feeding of ~225 gal day?¹ of 12.5 % sodium hypochlorite. The facility transitioned to a mineral-oxychloride biocide (JC 9465) dosed three times per week at 45 gal per application. ...
“A safe alternative is to produce the disinfectant directly on site, for example by electrolysis from conventional table salt and water,” explains Michael Raabe. For this type of sodium hypochlorite production, Lutz-Jesco will be presenting the Minichlorgen T electrolysis system at Agritechnica 2025. Employees simply need to fill the salt dissolving ...
The most common method is continuous dosing with sodium hypochlorite, which is both expensive and environmentally undesirable. ...
Foam is one of the most frustrating challenges in wastewater treatment operations. While it may seem like just a cosmetic issue, uncontrolled foam can have serious consequences: it carries solids into the effluent, disrupts secondary clarification, creates odor problems, and even poses safety hazards for operators working around basins and tanks. Traditional methods such as water sprays, ...
Sludge bulking remains one of the most persistent challenges in small and mid-sized wastewater treatment facilities, particularly during seasonal shifts that affect the food-to-microorganism (F/M) ratio, nitrogen-to-phosphorus (N/P) ratio, and temperature. These operational changes often trigger the overgrowth of filamentous organisms or biofilms, leading to poor sludge settling, high sludge ...
JC-9465 is a new proprietary advanced chemistry that generates ROS (Reactive Oxygen Species). It is an aqueous chelation of minerals/metals and oxychloride compounds in a liquid form. Our mineral oxychloride technology is a source of oxygen energy that is effective against 99.9999% of bacteria and viruses. By generating a high concentration of hydroxyl radical ions and other oxygen species, ...
In the serene town of Glenwood, nestled between lush hills and glistening rivers, water was more than just a resource—it was a pillar of the ...
Company History & Development Jenfitch, Inc. was formed in 2008 to manufacturer and market water treatment chemicals JC 9450 is a new strong oxidizer, based around the research on mineral oxychloride chemistry that was first developed in the early 1900’s. In the late 20th Century, tools to measure this technology became commercially available and JC 9450 was commercially available ...
A remote municipality’s existing system was failing, so the community needed an urgent replacement solution. Wembley is a quiet, peaceful northern Alberta town located 20 km west of Grande Prairie and surrounded by rich farmland. When the town installed a well to supplement the drinking water supply for its 1,400 residents, it learned the new supply source was unusable due to its high iron ...
Jenfitch, Inc based in Walnut Creek, CA has developed a new oxidant that is effective at lowering TOC, reducing THM’s and HAA5’s, eliminating T & O (taste and odors), effective at controlling HAB’s (harmful algal blooms), improve coagulation & flocculation, eliminate biofilm formation in the distribution systems, and improve the effectiveness of your primary ...
Lutz-Jesco will also be presenting dosing pumps from the Memdos Smart series for dosing aggressive chemicals as well as electrolysis systems from the Easychlorgen and Minichlorgen series, which safely produce the disinfectant sodium hypochlorite from commercially available salt. The new VakuStop is based on the C2213/14 vacuum regulator, which Lutz-Jesco has ...
Various microbial, viral, and viroid pathogens of cannabis can result in economic loss in commercial cultivation settings. While starting off with uninfected stock material is a crucial first step in combating this, tool and surface sanitation practices in the grow facility are also very important to reduce the chance of spread of any undetected, or newly environmentally acquired pathogens. While ...
The Deltin Suites is a 106-room 5-Star hotel with a casino and two resturants. It is located in the state of Goa. where tourism is the major industry. The hotel had an older WWTS based 25 KLD treatment which was grossly undersized, took up a lot of space, needed operators for 3 shifts and was unable to treat the wastewater. The result was a terrible odor which was offensive to guests as well as ...
Background The Deltin Suites is a 106 room 5-Star hotel with a casino and 2 restaurants. It is located in the state of Goa, where tourism is the major industry. The hotel had an MBBR based 25 KLD treatment system which was grossly undersized, took up a lot of space, needed operators in 3 shifts and was unable to treat the wastewater.

Over at least the past year, water consultants have been kept increasingly busy by a British water industry that could reasonably be stated to be at least in a state of chaos, and in some regions, this has escalated into outright existential crises. This has naturally made the job of people advising businesses on their water strategy both more critical and much more difficult, primarily because ...
