Introduction The safety and structural integrity of anaerobic digesters rely entirely on the precise management of internal pressures. For decades, the specification of gas safety equipment has largely been a binary choice in the North American market. Engineers evaluating Varec Biogas (Ovivo) vs Shand & Jurs for Digestion applications are navigating a landscape defined by […]
Introduction to Ozone System Engineering Ozone generation is one of the most chemically potent yet operationally complex technologies in the water treatment arsenal. Unlike UV or chlorination, ozone is generated on-site, requiring a sophisticated integration of power supply, gas preparation, cooling thermodynamics, and mass transfer mechanics. For municipal and industrial engineers, the challenge is rarely […]

1) INTRODUCTION In the design of municipal water and wastewater infrastructure, the management of fluid dynamics and headspace containment represents a critical intersection of hydraulics, structural engineering, and environmental control. One of the most frequent trade-off analyses engineers face—particularly in surge control and storage applications—involves choosing between active pressurized containment and passive atmospheric covering. This […]
