BAS Offers Significant Sludge
Reduction
 Providence,
RI -- AnoxKaldnes is pleased to introduce the BAS™
biological process (Biofilm + Activated Sludge) for
wastewater treatment. For industrial wastewater streams
lacking ammonia and phosphorous for biomass growth, the
AnoxKaldnes BAS™ biological process reduces overall sludge
production and provides a very stable two-stage treatment
system.
The BAS™ process is a combination
of a biofilm stage and a pre-treatment step, followed by an
activated sludge stage.
The biofilm stage is the Kaldnes
Moving Bed™ Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) technology. The MBBR
contains a plastic carrier media that move freely in the
tanks. Microorganisms colonize the media and form a
resilient biofilm that consumes 60-70% of the soluble COD.
An aeration system is used to provide mixing and the oxygen
demand of the microorganisms in the MBBR.
Excess biofilm is continuously
sloughed off of the media and carried out with the MBBR
effluent while a screen retains the media in the reactor.
The partially treated wastewater continues to the activated
sludge stage for further polishing of the organic material.
On average the overall sludge
yield using BAS™ system ranges between 0.1-0.15 lb TSS
generated /lb COD removed.
MBBR applications are found in
the municipal (for nitrification and denitrification),
chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, pulp and paper, and
food and dairy industries where waste loading conditions are
widely variable.
AnoxKaldnes is a high technology
company focusing on biological wastewater treatment. The
company has a strong position on the market, which is
acquired by adopting a unique method of operation, emanating
from the need and possibilities of the microorganisms.
AnoxKaldnes has several strong trademarks, such as MBBR™,
BAS™, HYBAS™, LSP™ and Moving Bed™ all of which are
associated with fundamental knowledge and leading-edge
technology.

WEF Acquires UK Magazine -
Expands to EU Market
 Alexandria,
VA -- The Water Environment Federation (WEF), a U.S. based
not-for-profit technical and educational organization,
announces the acquisition of World Water & Environmental
Engineering from Faversham House Group Ltd. Surrey, UK (FHG)
and the subsequent formation of WEF Publishing UK Limited
(WEFP), a wholly-owned and for-profit subsidiary of WEF.
Currently located in central London, WEFP will begin
publishing the magazine in March 2007 and eventually expand
into a full-service publishing company to produce and market
WEF technical and educational products in Europe.
"The
acquisition of World Water & Environmental Engineering and
the establishment of WEF Publishing UK Limited is a major
step in fulfilling WEF's mission to be a leading resource to
the global water community," said WEF Executive Director
Bill Bertera. "The involvement in the global market provides
an excellent opportunity for us to help ensure that water
quality professionals and environmental decision-makers
globally have an accurate and balanced view of the water
quality field in different regions of the world."
Formally acquired from FHG on January 17, 2007, World Water
& Environmental Engineering is a bi-monthly international
water quality magazine distributed to over 10,000 water
quality professionals throughout Europe, Africa, Asia, the
Middle East and North and South America. The magazine will
couple with WEF’s flagship publication, Water Environment &
Technology (WE&T), to provide up-to-date technical and
educational resources to the growing global water quality
community.
An
international editorial board is planned for the magazine
with a focus on water quality issues - technical, policy,
and fiscal - as they are happening throughout Europe,
Africa, the Middle East, USA and Asia. Nic Christy has been
appointed the London-based publisher.
Headquartered just outside of Washington, DC, WEF’s vision
to “preserve and enhance the global water environment” is
the basis for all its programs and activities. This new
expansion not only supports one of the Federation’s
strategic goals of broadening constituencies and developing
a greater international presence, but is also expected to
increase benefits to members and business opportunities for
advertisers.
“From
a business standpoint, this new venture opens up incredible
avenues for growth,” said Jack Benson, WEF’s Chief
Commercial Officer. “Pairing up the two magazines not only
benefits our members but also provides a powerful tool for
water quality companies to increase exposure in the global
marketplace.”
Formed
in 1928, the Water Environment Federation has 36,000 members
and 76 Member Associations in 30 countries. In addition to
its numerous educational programs, technical training
materials and publications, the Federation is perhaps best
known as the creator and sponsor of WEFTEC® , the world’s
largest annual water quality event.

MGD
Process Technology acquires Turborator
 BOSTON,
MA -- MGD Process Technology Inc., announces the recent
acquisition of industry leading Turborator® patented technology
and demonstrated the self aspirating aerator/mixer at the New
England Water Association Annual Conference. Turborator® is an
innovative approach to gas/liquid transfer. The simplicity of
design results in a rugged, durable, low maintenance system
providing superior mixing and aeration with reduced energy
costs.
The Turborator® offers oxygen
transfer efficiency higher than other mechanical self aspirating
aerators due to the manner in which gas is introduced below the
liquid surface. The patented Turborator® impeller rotates in a
liquid, establishing a low pressure zone behind each blade. This
low pressure zone creates a strong vacuum which draws air down
the shaft and dispenses as fine bubbles into the surrounding
liquid.
In testing performed by GSEE
Environmental Consultants in accordance with the ASCE “Standard
for the Measurement of Oxygen Transfer in Clean Water”
Turborator® units have oxygen transfer efficiency 18% greater
than competitor’s equipment based on the horsepower delivered at
the shaft.
Other advantages of gas introduction
below the liquid surface include the absence of surface
splashing and mist formation which release pathogens into the
atmosphere and can cause ice build up in cold weather climates.
The Turborator® has been successfully
utilized in both municipal and industrial applications in 3
countries where mixing and aeration are required. Examples of
current installations include ATAD Installations, Oxidations
Ditches, aeration of Industrial Waste and in Lagoons and
Stabilizations Ponds.
About MGD Process Technology Inc.
MGD Process Technology Inc.
specializes in wastewater treatment equipment and engineering.
In March of 2006, MGD purchased the patented Turborator®
technology which provides an innovative approach to gas/liquid
transfer. The simplicity of design results in a rugged, durable,
low maintenance system, providing superior mixing and aeration
with reduced energy costs.

Mr. Mokhtari wants help with water treatment plant:
Hi everybody, there is water treatment plant with these parts with:
Pre-sedimentation - Rapid
mixing - pulsator (sludge blanket) clarifier for
flocculation and sedimentation - rapid sand filter and
chlorination.
The WTP is fed by river water
that has low turbidity most of time. This causes lack of
sludge blanket in pulsator. you know the most important part
of pulsator is sludge blanket!! Then pulsator is worked
badly.
My questions are:
1- What should we do for upgrading system?
2- What is your opinion about filter backwash recycling to
improve pulasator efficiency? (Click

Mr. Miller needs help with dewatering sludge:
Hello everyone, this my first
post. I work at a wastewater treatment plant.
Ok, here's the question: what
type sludge should we run on our belt press? Sludge from a
heated digester? Sludge from a unheated digester?
The sludge from this digester
has never been heated. What would work best and why?
