Introduction In municipal and industrial wastewater treatment, the precision of chemical dosing is directly linked to process compliance, yet the longevity of the dosing equipment is often compromised by material mismatching. A common point of failure in chemical feed systems is not the mechanical drive mechanism, but the degradation of wetted parts due to unforeseen […]
Introduction to PC Pump Intake Hydraulics One of the most persistent and expensive failure modes in municipal wastewater treatment plants involves the premature destruction of progressive cavity (PC) pump stators. While often blamed on “bad rubber” or manufacturing defects, a significant percentage of these failures are actually hydraulic issues rooted in the civil and mechanical […]
Introduction In the complex hydraulics of a modern wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), the peristaltic pump—often referred to as a hose pump or tube pump—occupies a critical niche that centrifugal technologies cannot fill. While engineers are intimately familiar with pump curves for water transfer, the specification of positive displacement equipment for abrasive sludge or off-gassing chemicals […]
Stormwater Treatment Systems: Managing Runoff Effectively Article Overview Article Type: Informational Primary Goal: Provide municipal engineers, wastewater operators, plant design engineers, and equipment manufacturers with a comprehensive, technically rigorous guide to selecting, designing, operating, and evaluating stormwater treatment systems so they can meet regulatory requirements, reduce pollutant loads, and improve resilience to changing rainfall patterns. […]
Greywater Recycling: Sustainable Water Reuse Solutions Greywater recycling systems provide a practical route to cut potable water use and reduce sewer loads in municipal and large-building projects. This article delivers the engineering, regulatory, and lifecycle guidance needed to scope, specify, and operate nonpotable greywater reuse at scale, with performance targets, instrumentation and monitoring requirements, and […]
