Digitising engagement to support a collaborative approach

Severn Trent As our drainage and wastewater systems face ever increasing pressures they need to become more resilient. Whilst sewerage companies already carry out wastewater catchment planning to mitigate future risks, these wastewater assets interact...

Innovation driving sustainable solutions to treat Yorkshire’s wastewater

Yorkshire Water and its partners Stantec and BarhaleDoosan JV are currently constructing an integrated wetland at Clifton wastewater treatment works to help reduce reliance on energy intensive treatment processes.  Here Yorkshire Water project lead Michael...

Leveraging the cloud for better design of water and wastewater treatment plants

For many years, the availability of integrated design and process simulation packages has not serviced industrial, reuse and drinking water plant designs as well as it has for biological treatment plants. Engineers and designers in...

Flow Cytometry: An alternative to classic HPC measurement

Quantifying bacterial concentrations in water samples is a necessary process to evaluate and contain microbiological contamination. Heterotrophic plate count (HPC) measurement is still the standard method to determine microbial contamination, yet a number of...

Solution of the corrosion of sewage systems and the release of Hydrogen Sulfide problems

MagTreat-S® is a well-stabilized, non-foaming suspension of magnesium hydroxide which is used as an alkali in marine scrubbers. It is based on the natural mineral brucite and is made in various slurry make down...

Healthy dosing

Good maintenance of chemical dosing systems is essential to meeting increased water quality compliance challenges. Graham Ward of WES has some money-saving and environmentally sound advice on this subject for water companies and contractors The...

Inefficient wastewater level measurement system

In a wastewater level measurement system that was originally set up with float switches, the first switch initiates the filling of the tank when the level drops to a minimum. A second switch stops...

A new approach for implementing vacuum degassing of digested sludge

Common operational problems with AAD plants are high loading and partly overloading of digesters - with the high dry solids concentration and high viscosity resulting in gas entrapment. This contributes to direct emissions being...

Water and wastewater treatment plants: The devil is in the design Inadequate water treatment...

Does the design of water and wastewater treatment plants in your business still rely on manual, repetitive and linear approaches? If yes, then, chances are that your designs are being delivered inefficiently. According to a recent...
