New Sponsor : Blue Water
Technologies
 Jacksonville
Beach, FL -- We are pleased to announce that Blue Water
Technologies, Inc. has become a sponsor of Water and
Wastewater.com.
Blue Water Technologies was
founded in February 2003 to commercialize a water treatment
technology originally developed at the University of Idaho.
The Blue PRO™ technology has been shown to remove
phosphorus, arsenic, and heavy metals from drinking and
wastewater.
Blue PRO™ is defined as a moving
bed active filtration system and was developed to remove
phosphorus, arsenic, and various other contaminants from
drinking water or wastewater. It is an innovative,
simple-to-operate, patent-pending technology. It is more
cost-effective and efficient than competing technologies
such as ion exchange, enhanced coagulation, and
coagulation-microfiltration.
Blue Water Technologies has been
awarded the exclusive, worldwide license rights for the
patent-pending Blue PRO™ technology.
"Removing Phosphorus from
Wastewater"
Blue Water Technologies include,
Blue PRO™ Phosphorus - A proprietary water treatment system
designed to remove phosphorus from municipal wastewater and
industrial process water streams. And Blue PRO™ Arsenic is a
proprietary water treatment system designed to remove
arsenic from drinking water sources. These systems are
available in standard sizes, custom sizes, and in mobile
units.

Poo Power : N-Viro Fuel Tested
in Coal-Fired Plant
 TOLEDO,
OH -- N-Viro International Corp. announced today the
successful completion of a performance test of N-Viro Fuel
at a major power generation facility. N-Viro Fuel is a newly
developed and patented biomass fuel that has physical and
chemical characteristics similar to coal and is created from
municipal waste and/or manure.
On January 8, 2007 a full scale
demonstration was conducted utilizing a circulation
fluidized bed (CFB) coal combustion boiler. The
demonstration was conducted utilizing a blend of Eastern
Bituminous Coal and N-Viro Fuel. N-Viro Fuel is created
utilizing the Company's alkaline stabilization process, with
the addition of mechanical drying. Preliminary analytical
results have indicated N-Viro Fuel can be introduced into a
CFB Boiler without deviation of the performance of the
boiler.
Timothy Kasmoch President and CEO
of N-Viro International stated, "What is exciting about
N-Viro Fuel, in addition to its graduating from the
development stage to being tested and proven in an actual
coal-fired power plant, is the realization that we are
moving a step closer to having this exciting new technology
ready for full-scale commercial introduction to an industry
hungry for such technologies. N-Viro Fuel will provide an
entirely new revenue source derived principally from an
established product which we already sell."
"While profitable," he added,
"the revenues from N-Viro Soil contribute only a small
amount to our overall revenue picture. During the past 10
years we have generated revenues in excess of $40 million
providing our treatment services to local municipalities,
which are in essence helping them turn municipal sludge into
an environmentally safe product. When the millions of tons
of by-product created annually is converted into N-Viro
Fuel, a potentially high margin environment will exist.
Utilization of our alternative fuel process is the single
most important milestone in our Company's history."
The test was designed to gauge
and measure the performance of N-Viro Fuel when blended with
Eastern Bituminous Coal in a Circulating Fluidized Bed
("CFB") coal combustion boiler, a clean coal technology. CFB
Boilers are mainly utilized for power generation. Coal is
combusted, stirred and mixed with limestone
(desulphurization media) and air-fluidizing bed materials in
a furnace. The combustion within the boiler is completed by
circulating un-combusted coals. In comparison with a
conventional coal-fired boiler, a CFB boiler's combustion is
more efficient and offers various fuel options.
"We are excited about the test
results and the potential that N-Viro Fuel has for use in
our nation's coal-fired power plants." stated Mr. Kasmoch.
"Coal fuels more than 40 percent of the world's electricity
and 50 percent of U.S. electricity. New state-of-the-art
technologies allow coal producers to produce electricity
from coal that is cleaner than ever. Coal use has tripled in
the past 30 years, while emissions have been reduced by
about one-third. Tens of billions of dollars are being
invested in state-of-the art technologies that will lead to
continued environmental improvement and to the ultimate
vision of near-zero emissions. We hope to be an integral
part of the 150 new coal fired plants which are currently on
the nation's drawing boards."

New Controller Manages Your
Septage Receiving Area
 Costa
Mesa, CA -- This high-tech controller helps make JWC’s Honey
Monster™ Septage Receiving System more efficient, with quick
discharge times of 5-10 minutes, plus the driver can
initiate the entire process with a swipe of their access
card - no plant personnel needed.
MonsterTrack includes a card reader, receipt printer, data
recorder and CompactFlash® Memory package. To start the
process drivers simply connect, swipe their card and start
the flow, MonsterTrack takes care of the rest. The system
stores data such as: operator ID, discharge quality, total
gallons, pH, electronic billing data and more.
The
recorded data is stored in ASCII format and can be
transferred via the system’s CompactFlash card or an
optional RS232 serial connection. This data can be imported
into the operator’s own tracking software or via a tracking
template provided by JWC. Data may also be imported into the
user’s own software for processing.
 The
Honey Monster is an automated septage receiving system which
grinds, screens and cleans flow before it enters the
treatment process.
Click here to see the "Honey Monster" in action.
The
Honey Monster removes difficult to handle solids down to
6mm, such as rags, rocks, clothing and metal, before it has
a chance to damage downstream equipment. MonsterTrack is an
option available with JWC’s receiving systems, such as the
Honey Monster.
JWC
Environmental, a privately owned corporation headquartered
in Costa Mesa, CA, manufacturers and services a complete
line of sewage grinders, sludge grinders, high flow fine
screens and removal equipment for wastewater treatment.

Mr. Nazereno wants advise cooling tower water:
I have two questions to you
great guys in water and wastewater:
1) Is it cost effective to
use tertiary municipal effluent also known as sewage for
cooling tower make-up?
2) Will water analysis (TSS
in ppm, bacteria content in CFU/ml, oil & grease
concentration in ppm, and chemicals in the water that would
lower the bulk water's surface tension) differs from country
to country?
I would hoped you can provide
enlightenments on the above subject. Thank you and
more power to Water and Wastewater Forum!
