announced several new events that will be unveiled at its
123nd Annual Conference and Exposition (ACE) to be held
June 13-17, 2004 at the Orange County Convention Center in
Orlando, Florida.
The premier event for total
water management, AWWA’s five-day conference will
feature a new technology showcase exhibiting the latest
and greatest technology in one area. Also new this year,
ACE is hosting the U.S. Department of Commerce’s
International Buyer Program (IBP) which encourages the
export of US-made products by matching international
buyers with domestic firms.
AWWA has invited
international attendees from all around the world. The
Water Industry Luncheon will feature guest speaker Lou
Holtz, the only coach in NCAA history to lead six
different programs to bowl games. Additionally, over 500
exhibitors will demonstrate the latest innovations and
technology in the drinking water profession.
“The conference theme ‘One
World One Water’ truly represents the global importance
of safe drinking water,” said Jack Hoffbuhr, executive
director of AWWA. “The collective knowledge and
experience found at this conference provides water
professionals with the information and tools needed to
meet new challenges and continue to protect public health
and effectively manage our priceless water resources.”
Other key conference events
include the H2Open Forum discussing the link between the
electricity and water industry, as well as the
world-renown pipe tapping contest. Also, ACE will feature
more than 70 technical sessions and 13 pre-conference
workshops focusing on pressing issues such as
infrastructure management, security, benchmarking, and
legislative and regulatory challenges.

HydroFlo Provides WWT Equipment to Tyson
 RALEIGH,
N.C. -- HydroFlo, Inc. announced today that it has
provided and installed equipment for the treatment of
wastewater at a Tyson Foods chicken processing plant.
The HydroFlo equipment
typically used for aeration of wastewater and for odor
control in force mains is being used by this Tyson
facility for an entirely different application. The
application is called Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) and
this adds to the list of solutions that HydroFlo is able
to provide its industrial clients.
HydroFlo's core business is
providing aeration equipment used for the pre-treatment of
wastewater. Using the patented Pressure Line Up-Stream or
PLUS pre-treatment system, customers begin the treatment
process at their pumping stations, prior to the wastewater
reaching a treatment plant. The company also provides a
full range of related services to companies and
municipalities to treat their wastewater at the treatment
plant by the use of the energy efficient aeration systems
in treatment lagoons.
"This installation
adds a new realm to the technology that HydroFlo is able
to provide. DAF equipment is used by a wide variety of
industry worldwide, and our aeration systems provide a new
alternative for high efficiency treatment of wastewater
within an energy hungry world. This new application
continues to add to the company's overall potential,"
said Dennis Mast, CEO of HydroFlo.

| Phosphorus
Removal : Blue Water Releases New Technology
 Coeur
d'Alene, ID -- Blue Water Technologies, Inc. has recently
made a new phosphorus removal technology commercially
available. The water treatment system, known as the
Vandal-ION process, is capable of lowering the
concentrations of phosphorus in wastewater to very low
levels. Blue Water in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho has licensed
the patent-pending technology from the University of
Idaho.
Regulatory pressure from
the EPA has driven both municipal and industrial
wastewater treatment plants to lower the amounts of
certain water constituents they discharge to receiving
waters. Phosphorus is one of the constituents facing
increasing regulatory pressure.
Phosphorus is an essential
nutrient in aqueous environments, where 20 parts per
billion (ppb) is considered healthy. However, in excessive
amounts phosphorus can lead to eutrophication. This
condition is typified by rampant algae growth and
subsequent water quality problems. Until now there has not
been a cost-effective process for lowering phosphorus in
discharged effluent to less than 500 ppb.
The Vandal-ION process is
capable of lowering phosphorus to 60 ppb and below. This
fall a pilot project was completed at the Moscow, Idaho
wastewater treatment plant. Total phosphorus influent
averaging 776 ppb was lowered to an average of 59 ppb.
This result easily meets Moscow’s discharge permit level
of 136 ppb. Two other troublesome water quality
parameters, turbidity and biological oxygen demand, were
also lowered significantly.
Additional process
optimization can lower the phosphorus concentrations even
further. The technology is capable of reaching a
non-detect (less than 10 ppb) level for phosphorus with a
multi-stage system, dependent on the influent
concentration.
Blue Water Technologies,
Inc. was established in February 2003 to commercialize
state-of-the-art water treatment technologies. Blue Water’s
products remove phosphorus, arsenic, selenium, and heavy
metals from water and wastewater.

Mr. Brooks wants to
remove dissolved hydrocarbons:
I am investigating an
upgrade to our existing Dissolved Air Flotation Units.
They are used to remove dissolved phase hydrocarbons from
refinery wastewater.
I know there are a number
of alternatives out there but I need to know what
technology has proven success at meeting the following
spec:
Inflow 175 kilolitres per
hour (klph)
Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH) 500 mg/l
Expected outflow TPH <10 mg/l
Hydraulic Capacity 275 klph
We are willing to
investigate any technology that is proven, effective and
will meet our maintainability and availability
requirements.

Mr. Zhao needs an RAS
pump:
As we design Return
Activated Sludge (RAS) system for a WWTP upgrade and
expansion project , we need a screw centrifugal or mixed
pump (or other types of pumps you have for RAS
application) which meets following design
conditions,
1. Capacity: 29.2ML/d or
338 L/s (5357gpm), head: 5 m.
2. Dry pit type
3. Only requires slight modification (i.e. change driver
sheave) to fit future use with a capacity of 35ML/d
or 405 L/s
(6421gpm) and head of 5.4m.
Please provide a list of
your applications of screw centrifugal and/or mixed
flow pumps (or other types) with same or
bigger capacity and head as above.
Also, could you find out
what is your minimum requirement for water
submergence measured from the top of suction line in
our case ? Sludge chamber has an approximate
dimension of 3 m ( Length, where suction line tie
in) and 4.4 m (width) .
