AnoxKaldnes : Introduces
LagoonGuard for Wastewater Treatment
 Providence,
RI -- AnoxKaldnes, Inc. is proud to announce the creation of
a new treatment process for wastewater nitrification in
lagoons using their AnoxKaldnes Moving Bed® biofilm reactor
(MBBR). The LagoonGuard(TM) as it is called, provides a
cost-effective, simple way to upgrade your lagoon treatment
system by retrofitting your existing lagoons.
Most recently LagoonGuard was
installed into a city with ammonia limits and cold weather
nitrification issues. New effluent discharge standards
required the city to meet ammonia limits year round. The
city operated a three cell treatment plant and the
wastewater temperatures are low less than 7oC /45oF
during winter making it impossible to nitrify on a
consistent basis. The city could either abandon the existing
system and build a new activated sludge plant at a very high
cost or could use what they already had and install an
AnoxKaldnes MBBR LagoonGuard process to meet the
nitrification limits at a much lower cost. They chose
LagoonGuard.
The basis of the LagoonGuard
process is the thousands of polyethylene carrier elements
that provide a home for a vast, highly active bacteria
culture. These elements are kept in constant motion
throughout the entire volume of the wastewater by our
specially designed aeration system and sieves, resulting in
uniform, highly effective treatment.
The LagoonGuard setup consists of
two process flow trains of two reactors in series
retrofitted from the existing lagoons. Influent wastewater
to the city’s WWTP flows into the first and second pond
cells for BOD treatment and effluent from the second cell
flows directly into the new LagoonGuard treatment tank. The
two-stage system removes any BOD in the wastewater and
nitrifies all of the ammonia contained in it. The
LagoonGuard alternative requires minimal operator attention
and minimal space. An activated sludge plant was estimated
to cost 50% more than the MBBR system.
AnoxKaldnes is an international
provider of industrial and municipal wastewater treatment
systems. We offer the world’s most experienced personnel in
the field of fixed-film biological wastewater treatment. We
have more than 16 years in the business and over 400
installations in 44 countries worldwide.

LUM : Tracing The Centrifugal
Separation Of Fine-Particle Slurries
 Medford,
MA -- The new subsidiary of L.U.M. GmbH, Germany, will
report on the characterization of the separation behaviour
of fine grained particle dispersions in centrifuges during
the conference program of the 18th Annual AFS Conference and
Exposition co-hosted with American Institute of Chemical
Engineers (AIChE).
18th
Annual AFS Conference and Exposition to be held in Atlanta
GA, April 10-13, 2005 offers a unique venue where experts
from academia, industry, and others concerned with
filtration and separation processes meet and engage in
technical presentations/discussions in oral and poster
sessions, and get updated on the latest equipment and
technology on filtration and separation at a major
exposition.
http://www.afssociety.org/conferences/conferences.htm
Scope
of oral presentation
Multisample analytical batch centrifugation with optical
detection proved to be a versatile tool for the
characterization of the separation of fine grained
materials. This holds for information on the type of
sedimentation behaviour (free sedimentation of individual
particles, hindered settling, zone settling), on the
sedimentation velocity distribution inside the centrate and
on the packing, compression and elasticity behaviour, on the
nature of particle interactions and the degree of
flocculation as well.
The
investigations were complemented by centrifugation with
manometric detection and with a disk centrifuge,
investigations carried out at the Institute of Mechanical
Process Engineering and Mechanics, University of Karlsruhe
(TH), Germany.

To
raise the market share furthermore and secure the growth of
the L.U.M. parent company in Germany, L.U.M. has founded its
own subsidiary in the USA, responsible for the NAFTA
countries USA, Canada and Mexico. Thus providing a competent
point of contact in this region for distribution and service
of all instruments for rapid characterization of
dispersions.
As of
January 2005 LUM Corp. has started its business in Medford,
MA, directly neighboring the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology and the city of Boston.

Florida : USFilter To Provide
Extended Aeration WWTP
 WARRENDALE,
PA -- USFilter has been selected to provide a more than
$1million extended aeration wastewater treatment plant in
Collier County, Florida. The plant is one of many additions
planned for 5,000 acres of tomato patches and farmland in
the county, just east of Naples.
A
partnership between Ave Maria University creator and
Domino's Pizza founder Tom Monaghan and Barron Collier
Companies, a major southwest Florida real estate and
agricultural company, is providing funding for a new campus
for the university as well as a whole new town called Ave
Maria. The university is expected to draw as many as 24,000
additional residents to an area that has been known
primarily for agriculture.
CH2M
Hill Constructors, Inc., the design/builder for the water
and wastewater treatment plants, contracted with USFilter
Davco Products to provide and install the wastewater plant
and two Gravisand(R) filtration systems for effluent
polishing. USFilter will also install an additional
clarifier to be used as a back up and to serve as the basis
for another full biological plant during an expansion phase.
"We're excited to be part of the development of this new
town and its future growth," said Florida Operations Manager
Don Klose of CH2M Hill Constructors. The water and
wastewater treatment plants will serve campus-related
facilities as well as residential units, retail stores,
medical facilities, hotels, public schools and parks."
The
wastewater treatment plant effluent will be reused for golf
course and common area irrigation.
USFilter Corporation, a Siemens company, delivers
cost-effective, reliable water and wastewater treatment
systems and services to municipal, industrial, commercial
and institutional customers worldwide. USFilter is part of
Siemens' Industrial Solutions and Services Group (I&S),
which provides innovative solutions and services designed to
improve competitiveness in processing and manufacturing
industries and in infrastructure.

BaySaver Stormwater System : Now NJCAT Approved
 Mount
Airy, MD -- BaySaver Technologies, the manufacturer of
the BaySaver Stormwater Treatment System, is now New
Jersey Corporation for Advanced Technology (NJCAT)
verified, according to a recent company press release.
The verification shows that
the BaySaver Stormwater Treatment System meets all
federally mandated regulations set by Phase I and II of
the Clean Water Act Stormwater Program, where
municipalities are required to remove pollutants such as
trash, oils and sediments in addition to providing the
best value per treated CFS in the industry.
"The (NJCAT) is a
private/public partnership that pools the best talents
and diverse resources of business and industry,
entrepreneurs, university research centers, utilities
and government to promote the development and
commercialization of exciting, new energy and
environmental technologies," said BaySaver president Tom
Pank.
Operations director Austin
Meyermann added, "Programs such as this give confidence
to the market that the BaySaver Separation System can
meet strict performance criteria. We are very pleased to
receive third-party verification by NJCAT. This step was
an important precursor to NJDEP certification, which
will be issued by the end of the month."
The BaySaver separation
system makes meeting stormwater treatment regulations
convenient and cost effective. It's engineered to strict
stormwater standards—yet, its design keeps it highly
affordable, and easy to spec, install and maintain. The
systems are customizable to project site conditions,
great for use in municipal retrofit situations, and
allow engineers to avoid losing the valuable acreage
necessary to support other types of BMPs.
Driven by gravity, stormwater
flow enters a primary manhole for initial separation.
The flow is then treated a second time in an off-line
storage manhole, where oils, fine suspended solids, and
floatables are collected. Since the water flow is
regulated into the secondary manhole, re-suspension risk
is minimal during higher flows. In addition, inspectors
and maintenance contractors can gain unobstructed access
to the bottom of the manholes—resulting in more
efficient maintenance and lower costs.

Mr. Chaudhari
needs help flaring off biogas:
We would like to flare a
biogas (methane 50 - 55 % + moisture 1 - 2 % + H2S 2- 3% +
balance is CO2 all in % v/v) generated in an anaerobic
digestor.
We are discussing open flare
verses enclosed flares. Does anybody have experience or
comments on open or enclosed flares particularly in USA
according to current practices.
I would like to have more
understanding of pros and cons for these two options.

Mr. Summey wants help with some test methods:
We are getting a new
monitoring requirement and if anyone knows how to test for:
1) D-BHC
2) a-Endosulfan
3) Total Recoverable Copper
I looked up the methods a
outside lab did on these tests and they used Method 9036 for
D-BHC and a-Edosulfan, but I couldn't find it in Standard
Methods. I have no idea where to find the method for the
total recoverable copper. Any help would be appreciated.
