Introduction In the landscape of advanced water and wastewater treatment, few decisions impact long-term compliance and operational expenditure as heavily as the selection of primary disinfection and oxidation technologies. For decades, the market has been dominated by a select few manufacturers, leading engineers to frequently conduct an Ozonia vs Evoqua Disinfection Equipment: Comparison & Best […]
Introduction In the high-stakes environment of municipal and industrial wastewater treatment, few decisions impact long-term operational costs (OPEX) as significantly as the selection of oxidation and gas handling systems. Engineers frequently underestimate the lifecycle implications of dielectric technologies and cooling requirements when specifying ozone generation systems for disinfection, micropollutant removal, or sludge handling. A specification […]
INTRODUCTION In the realm of anaerobic digestion and cogeneration, the protection of downstream assets—whether internal combustion engines (ICE), boilers, or renewable natural gas (RNG) membranes—is paramount. Engineers often face a critical disconnect: the anaerobic digester produces valuable fuel, but that fuel is laden with hydrogen sulfide (H2S), siloxanes, and moisture that can destroy capital equipment […]
1. INTRODUCTION The trickling filter is one of the oldest and most established biological treatment processes in municipal and industrial wastewater applications. Classified as an attached-growth (or fixed-film) process, a trickling filter operates by passing wastewater over a stationary medium—historically rock or slag, but increasingly structured plastic modules—where a biofilm establishes itself. This biomass metabolizes […]
Introduction In the modern municipal water and wastewater landscape, the System Integrator (SI) occupies a critical role that transcends simple equipment supply. Unlike pump manufacturers or valve suppliers who provide discrete mechanical assets, the SI is responsible for the facility’s central nervous system—the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system, Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), Human […]
Introduction One of the most persistent challenges in municipal and industrial water treatment design is the fragmentation of technology. A typical treatment plant is a complex assembly of headworks, biological processes, clarification, disinfection, and solids handling systems. When engineers treat these as isolated unit processes, the facility often suffers from integration failures, disparate control philosophies, […]
FACILITY BASIC INFORMATION Plant Name: Arlington East Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) Location: 1201 Island Drive, Jacksonville, Duval County, Florida Operating Authority: JEA (Jacksonville Electric Authority) Design Capacity: 25.0 MGD (Annual Average Daily Flow) Current Average Flow: ~16.5 MGD Population Served: Approx. 200,000+ residents Service Area: Eastern Jacksonville (Arlington, Regency, Fort Caroline) Receiving Water Body: St. […]
Introduction to Tertiary Filtration Selection For municipal and industrial engineers, the tertiary filtration stage is frequently the final safeguard between regulatory compliance and permit violations. As National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits tighten—particularly regarding total phosphorus (TP) limits of < 0.1 mg/L and strict turbidity requirements for Title 22 water reuse—the margin for error […]
FACILITY BASIC INFORMATION Plant Name: Central District Wastewater Treatment Plant Location: Virginia Key, Miami-Dade County, Florida Operating Authority: Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department (WASD) Permitted Capacity: 143 MGD (Annual Average Daily Flow) Current Average Flow: ~105-120 MGD Population Served: Approx. 1.2 million residents Service Area: City of Miami, Key Biscayne, Coral Gables, Miami Beach (portions), […]
