Uranium Removal from Drinking
Water License Granted
 WHEAT
RIDGE, CO -- The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
issued the "first of its kind" Materials License to R.M.D.
Operations, LLC, a Water Remediation Technology, LLC (WRT)
sister company, to remove uranium from drinking water.
WRT
removes uranium from water using its Z-92 proprietary
Treatment Process. This license allows RMD to store, handle
and remove the uranium-loaded treatment media, eliminating
the need for water providers to obtain their own NRC
license. The WRT approach significantly limits the long-term
liability for the water provider.
This
innovative, multi-site license is the result of a 2 and 1/2
year endeavor by WRT/RMD to obtain a national license for
the 16 NRC-regulated, non-agreement states. Individual water
providers will come under RMD's license through a
straightforward registration process. WRT provides an
environmentally sound solution for the removal of radium and
uranium from drinking water using their proprietary
treatment processes.
WRT's
process equipment and long-term, full- service agreements
include treatment media, the radioactive licensing,
training, handling and disposal of treatment residuals on a
guaranteed cost- per-gallon basis. WRT/RMD has radioactive
materials licenses already issued in several agreement
states where full-scale systems and pilots are operating.
The
issuance of this license takes WRT one step closer to being
the premier company removing radioactive and other select
contaminants from water sources, by providing
cost-effective, long-term, total solutions, including the
environmentally safe disposal of residuals.

Amiad :
Water Reuse Filtration Made Easy
 St.
Cloud, FL -- Amiad Filtration Systems products were installed in
late 2006 for the 20 MGD water reuse system expansion at the
City of St. Cloud’s Wastewater Treatment Plant. The
self-cleaning-automatic system utilizes six Amiad model
EBS-10,000 units filtering out +200 micron particles from reuse
water.
The cleaning mechanism consist of a
suction scanner “focus back-flush” technology; which takes
advantage of simple physics for cleaning. The decision for using
Amiad Filtration Systems was based on the experience of a
smaller and successfully operating system previously installed
in October, 2003.
The “focus flush” concept that Amiad
uses specifically exhibits 100% cleaning using the suction
scanner technology. The cleaning nozzle is designed within close
tolerances to cylindrical screen for high efficiency of
back-flushing.
Click here to watch the Amiad "focus flush" in action on
video
During a back-flush cycle, water
moves both tangentially and directly into the orifice of the
nozzle due to the large difference between operating and
atmospheric pressures.
Expanding this concept further, the
high velocity (50ft/sec2) combined with the spiral movement of
the nozzle(s) across every square inch of screen area
effectively removes the entire filter cake without any
interruption of flow through the filter units. Typically,
back-flushing wastewater is less than 1% of total flow.
The simplicity of design, cleaning
efficiency, and reliability based on just a few moving parts are
the attributes of a low operating and maintenance system
favorable for municipal and industrial applications.

Mr. Boon wants help with Desert WWTP design:
We are designing a plant for
desert climate sewage treatment. The temperature may go as
low as -15 to 50 C. I'm thinking of using corrugated
plastic packing trickling filters since power supply is
quite limited. It'll be crazy to have gen-sets ready
for the huge blowers. What are the things i need to
consider to design a plant for this kind of climate?
Since the people there use
less water, the consultants estimated about 20 gallons per
person per day sewage generation, which sounds normal.
But at the same time, they estimate the BOD loading using 60
g per person per day, resulting the BOD value a whooping 750
mg/l .... which I figure its too far from reality. I'd
like to know if anyone here have experience with Sewage
Treatment Plant in desert areas? I want to have a feel of
what is the sewage characteristic like.
About 60g of BOD per person
per day is normally used to estimate the loading of sewage,
but I don't think its applicable to place like deserts where
people use less water. Definitely the BOD value will
be higher than normal climate areas in terms of
concentration, but in terms of mass, I don't think its as
high as 60 grams. Any ideas? (Click

Mr. Senthilkumar needs help with floating solids:
Couple of days back I found
solids (sludge layer of 1-inch thick) floating on the
surface of clarifier. I believe denitrification is
occurring, but in Imhoff cone test there is nothing
abnormal, I mean settle-ability is good.
Could there be any other
reasons other than denitrification for an floating sludge in
clarifier.
I also refer to a recent
problem of anaerobic conditions in clarifier and brought
back to control after excess wasting. What immediate actions
are required to control this abnormality. (Click
