1. INTRODUCTION In municipal and industrial water and wastewater treatment facilities, the containment of process basins, channels, and reservoirs is a critical engineering discipline. While historically treated as secondary accessories, cover systems and associated walkways have evolved into essential components for odor control, process stability, safety compliance, and algae mitigation. The shift from heavy concrete […]
1. Introduction Mixing equipment serves as the kinetic heart of municipal and industrial water and wastewater treatment facilities. Unlike passive components such as piping or static storage, mixers are dynamic machines responsible for facilitating chemical reactions, maintaining solids suspension, blending disparate fluid streams, and optimizing heat transfer. In the context of consulting engineering and plant […]
Aerobic Digestion Wastewater Treatment: A Comprehensive Guide Introduction In an age where sustainable practices and effective resource management have become paramount, aerobic digestion emerges as a critical process in wastewater treatment. Accounting for a significant portion of municipal and industrial wastewater treatment processes, aerobic digestion utilizes microorganisms in the presence of oxygen to break down […]
Rotating Biological Contactors (RBCs) are an efficient means of treating wastewater through a biological process that involves microorganisms affixed to a rotating media. These systems are engineered to remove organic and nitrogenous waste from water by allowing microorganisms to come into contact with waste in the water. An RBC system consists of a series of […]
