FACILITY BASIC INFORMATION Plant Name: Broward County South District Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant (SRWWTP) Location: Hollywood, Broward County, Florida Operating Authority: Broward County Water and Wastewater Services (WWS) Design Capacity: 50.0 MGD (Annual Average Daily Flow) Current Average Flow: ~42-45 MGD Population Served: ~600,000 residents Service Area: Miramar, Pembroke Pines, Hollywood, Hallandale Beach, Dania Beach, […]
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 […]
Introduction One of the most persistent challenges in municipal and industrial water engineering is not the pipe itself, but the integrity of the connections, adaptations, and restraints. Industry statistics suggest that over 60% of pipeline failures occur at joints or fittings rather than along the pipe barrel. For consulting engineers and plant directors, overlooking the […]
FACILITY BASIC INFORMATION Plant Name: Howard F. Curren Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant (HFCAWTP) Location: 2700 Maritime Boulevard, Tampa, Hillsborough County, Florida Operating Authority: City of Tampa Wastewater Department Design Capacity: 96 MGD (Annual Average Daily Flow) Current Average Flow: ~55-60 MGD Population Served: ~720,000 residents Service Area: City of Tampa and portions of unincorporated Hillsborough […]
INTRODUCTION One of the most persistent debates in municipal water treatment and tertiary wastewater polishing centers on the choice between proprietary membrane technologies and versatile packaged filtration systems. Engineers are frequently caught between the absolute barrier protection of ultrafiltration (UF) and the robust, forgiving nature of adsorption clarifiers or conventional multimedia filtration. This decision affects […]
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), […]
Facility Status: Fully Operational | Phase: Major Capital Improvement (Ocean Outfall Legislation Compliance) Facility Basic Information Plant Name: South District Wastewater Treatment Plant (SDWWTP) Location: 8950 SW 232nd St, Cutler Bay, FL 33190 (Miami-Dade County) Operating Authority: Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department (WASD) Permitted Capacity (AADF): 112.5 MGD Peak Hydraulic Capacity: ~285 MGD Population Served: […]
Introduction One of the most frequent debates in municipal advanced treatment design centers on the selection of tertiary filtration technology. Engineers are often tasked with balancing the stringent pathogen rejection of low-pressure membranes against the energy efficiency and simplicity of depth filtration. This dichotomy is best represented by analyzing DuPont – Memcor vs Aqua-Aerobic for […]
Leading Water Treatment Equipment Manufacturers and Their Innovations Overview of Key Players in Water Treatment Equipment Manufacturing The landscape of water treatment equipment manufacturers is dominated by a few key players that command significant market share due to their established technologies and broad product lines. Companies like Xylem, Veolia, and SUEZ are recognized for their […]
Introduction One of the most persistent and expensive challenges in wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) operation is the downstream devastation caused by inorganic solids. Pumps with eroded impellers, clogged digestion tanks, and abrasive wear on sludge dewatering equipment cost utilities millions annually in preventable maintenance. Yet, headworks design often suffers from “copy-paste” specifications that fail to […]
