Sewer surcharges can significantly impact the bottom line for breweries and other food and beverage processors. Adding an onsite wastewater treatment plant is one way to reduce sewer surcharges, but many options are costly, complex, and require a significant amount of space, which can make it tough to decide whether to install a system or continue paying higher fees to the utility.
After switching to ClariPhos® Rare Earth Coagulant to evaluate its ability to improve phosphorus removal, operators at an Ontario WWTP noticed that UV disinfection also experienced a big boost. It turns out that better settling in the clarifier led to higher UV transmittance in the effluent, and a significant improvement in UV disinfection.
Spinning, squeezing, solar drying, there are many ways to dewater sludge from treatment plants and produce stabilized biosolids that are ready for land application or disposal. Selecting the best approach often considers several factors, including the speed at which dewatering must be completed, the space that’s available at the treatment plant to accommodate the process, and capital and operating costs.
It used to take almost a month to dewater the same volume of sludge that is now done in less than a day at the Meteghan Sewer Treatment Plant (STP) in the Municipality of Clare, Nova Scotia.
Low-energy, fixed-film BioCord system could improve ammonia removal for the onsite wastewater lagoon system and help the mine maintain compliance with the Metal and Diamond Mining Effluent Regulation (MDMER).
Polymer is the secret ingredient for maximizing dewatering and achieving high quality filtrate from the Geotube® containers in our Bishop Solids Management Solution. But selecting the right polymer is not enough to get the best results.
Geotube or Rocks — which do you think offers a lower carbon footprint when constructing a breakwater structure?
R&D efforts for BioCord® Reactors focus significantly on optimizing its fine-bubble aeration system and low-energy compressors to provide the best possible oxygen transfer and ammonia removal rates, while using less energy than MBBR.
Simple, fixed-film treatment system can give a significant boost to the microbial population in a lagoon to improve high strength ammonia removal.
Phosphorus removal has never been better for an Ontario cheese producer after switching to ClariPhos® Rare Earth Coagulant for its onsite membrane bioreactor system.
