Advanced Oxidation Processes: Tackling Micropollutants in Wastewater Effluent Micropollutants in treated effluent are driving municipalities to add tertiary barriers, and advanced oxidation processes for wastewater are among the most effective but technically demanding options. This practical, evidence-driven guide explains how AOPs work, compares major platforms, lays out design and integration rules, and covers monitoring, byproduct […]
Membrane Cleaning Strategies: Extend Life and Reduce Downtime of Filtration Systems Membrane cleaning strategies for wastewater membranes that are vague or generic cost plants time and money; this guide gives operators and engineers practical, chemistry-specific tactics to cut unplanned downtime and extend membrane life. You will learn how to identify dominant foulants, set monitoring and […]
Sequencing Batch Reactor Best Practices: Design and Operational Tips for Operators If your plant struggles to hold nitrification, control solids, or keep energy costs down, this hands-on guide lays out sequencing batch reactor design best practices for operators and engineers who need actionable targets, not theory. You will get numeric design criteria (MLSS, SRT, cycle […]
Nitrification Optimization Strategies: Improving Stability and Effluent Quality Stable nitrification is often the difference between consistent permit compliance and repeated, expensive emergency fixes. This practical guide on nitrification process optimization for wastewater plants gives operators and engineers a prioritized playbook — from sensor QA/QC and monitoring to DO and SRT tuning, IFAS/MBBR retrofits, sidestream treatment, […]
Solids Dewatering Equipment Compared: Belt Presses, Centrifuges, and Screw Presses Choosing the right dewatering machine can make or break sludge handling costs and compliance; this solids dewatering equipment comparison cuts through vendor claims to show how belt presses, decanter centrifuges, and screw presses actually perform in the field. You will get practical, metric-driven guidance on […]
Membrane Filtration for Wastewater Reuse: Selecting the Right System for Your City When cities must stretch water supplies and meet tougher reuse rules, membrane filtration for wastewater reuse is a practical path, but choosing the right system is where projects stall. This guide gives municipal engineers and plant managers an engineering-first decision framework that links […]
Estimating the Cost of PFAS Removal Systems: Capital, O&M, and Lifecycle Factors Estimating the cost of pfas removal systems is rarely straightforward; influent concentrations, treatment goals, site footprint, and disposal pathways produce wide swings in capital and O&M demands. This guide gives municipal engineers and owners a repeatable framework to turn influent data into equipment […]
If you are responsible for treating municipal or industrial supplies and need to know how to remove pfas from water, this guide cuts through vendor claims and gives practical, defensible options. It presents a decision framework tying PFAS chemistry and influent concentrations to proven treatment trains, including granular activated carbon, anion exchange, and membranes, and […]
No salt water softening systems are increasingly considered where chloride discharge limits, brine disposal costs, or membrane and heat-exchanger fouling make conventional ion exchange impractical. This article evaluates the principal no-salt approaches by mechanism and field performance — template assisted crystallization, electromagnetic and electronic descalers, antiscalant dosing, and membrane alternatives — and compares them to […]
Choosing the right filtration wastewater technology now determines capital cost, plant footprint and whether your facility meets tightening effluent and reuse requirements. This guide gives municipal engineers and operators a vendor-neutral, engineering-first comparison of media, cloth and membrane options, a practical retrofit decision framework, and the measurable KPIs and procurement language needed to specify, pilot […]
