1. Introduction The oxidation ditch is a modified activated sludge biological treatment process that utilizes long solids retention times (SRTs) to remove biodegradable organics. Oxidation ditches are typically complete mix systems, but they can be modified to approach plug flow conditions. Ideally suited for small- to medium-sized municipal wastewater treatment plants, these systems are renowned […]

Introduction The Archimedes screw pump remains one of the oldest yet most efficient mechanisms for lifting water and wastewater. Despite the prevalence of centrifugal and submersible pump technologies, the screw pump maintains a critical position in municipal and industrial treatment plants, particularly in headworks (inlet lift stations), stormwater pumping stations, and return activated sludge (RAS) […]

1. Introduction to Disinfection Systems in Water and Wastewater Treatment Disinfection remains the most critical unit process in the protection of public health within municipal and industrial water cycles. In potable water treatment, disinfection serves as the primary barrier against waterborne pathogens, ensuring the inactivation of bacteria, viruses, and protozoa before distribution. In wastewater treatment, […]

1. INTRODUCTION In the hierarchy of valves utilized within municipal and industrial water infrastructure, the cone valve occupies a unique tier reserved for the most critical, high-consequence applications. Often referred to as rotary cone valves or conical plug valves, these devices are engineered to provide full-bore flow with negligible head loss while possessing the mechanical […]

1. Introduction In the hydraulic architecture of municipal and industrial water systems, air valves are often the most undervalued yet critical components for maintaining system efficiency and pipeline integrity. While pumps provide the energy and pipes provide the conduit, air valves manage the gaseous phase within liquid systems—a factor that, if uncontrolled, leads to catastrophic […]

Introduction to Split Case Pumps in Water and Wastewater Infrastructure In the hierarchy of municipal and industrial hydraulic machinery, the split case pump stands as the predominant choice for high-flow, low-to-medium head applications. Characterized by a casing that is split parallel to the shaft axis (axially split) or perpendicular to it (radially split), this pump […]
