Introduction In municipal and industrial wastewater treatment, volume reduction is the single most effective method for controlling downstream costs. By thickening Waste Activated Sludge (WAS) from a typical 0.5–1.0% solids concentration to 5–7%, facilities can reduce the hydraulic volume sent to digesters or holding tanks by up to 85%. However, selecting the right equipment to […]
Complete Guide to Reverse Osmosis Filtration Systems Are you curious about how a reverse osmosis filtration system can transform your water quality? In this complete guide, we’ll explore the ins and outs of reverse osmosis technology, including its benefits, applications in both municipal and wastewater treatment, and essential components of these advanced water purification systems. […]
INTRODUCTION In the landscape of wastewater treatment, the secondary clarifier is often the ultimate bottleneck of the activated sludge process. While biological reactors get the glory for nutrient removal, the clarifier is the final gatekeeper of effluent quality. A surprising statistic in the industry is that nearly 50% of clarifier performance issues are not related […]
Introduction In the municipal water and wastewater treatment sector, the handling of hazardous gases remains one of the most critical safety challenges facing plant operators and engineers. While alternative disinfection methods such as ultraviolet (UV) light and on-site hypochlorite generation have gained traction, the use of gaseous chlorine (Cl2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and ammonia (NH3) […]

Introduction In municipal and industrial water treatment, flow measurement is arguably the single most critical variable for process control, yet it remains a primary source of operational inefficiency. It is estimated that flow measurement errors contribute significantly to the 20-30% of Non-Revenue Water (NRW) losses seen in many aging distribution systems. Furthermore, in wastewater treatment, […]

Wayne Hill Water Resources Center (FWHWRC) Location: Buford, Gwinnett County, Georgia Operating Authority: Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources (GCDWR) Design Capacity: 60 MGD (Million Gallons per Day) Current Average Flow: ~38-42 MGD Population Served: Approx. 500,000+ residents Service Area: Central and North Gwinnett County Receiving Water Body: Lake […]
Ultraviolet Disinfection: Safe and Effective Water Treatment Method In an age where clean water is paramount for public health, ultraviolet disinfection water treatment has emerged as a game-changer in ensuring safe drinking water. This innovative method harnesses the power of UV light to effectively eliminate pathogens without the use of harsh chemicals, making it both […]
Introduction Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) systems represent a definitive convergence of biological wastewater treatment and advanced membrane filtration. In the landscape of municipal and industrial wastewater management, MBR technology has transitioned from a niche solution for difficult-to-treat effluents to a standard unit process for facilities requiring high-quality effluent, water reuse capabilities, or significant footprint reductions. At […]
