“Put Up or Shut Up.” That was the Choice for this Potato Chip Manufacturer in Meeting Municipal Wastewater Treatment Specifications

The John Boyd potato chip company installs chemical precipitation and trickling filter biological treatment system to meet increased requirements for reducing BOD and TSS in its wastewater.

Alaska Water Treatment Plant Saves Money

Residents of Fairbanks, Alaska, were outraged by the brownish plumes in the waters of the Chena River caused by 3 to 4 million pounds of mineral slurry discharged yearly by a local water treatment plant. The privately owned Golden Heart Utilities (GHU) water treatment plant delivers 3 million gallons of water a day (mgd) to 40,000 Fairbanks residents, but the byproduct discharge of iron, calcium, and manganese—although environmentally non-threatening—made the water unsightly and gave it a bad taste.

Candy Manufacturer and Municipality Cooperate to Overcome Wastewater Handling Problem

While the effluent wastewater is hardly hazardous to your health, it is a very common problem for candy manufacturers as it contains a very high proportion of Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) and Total Suspended Solids (TSS). When combined with the effluent from other industries, it can overload a small to medium sized municipal wastewater treatment system’s capacity to process these wastes and meet stringent regulatory standards.

City Extends Life of its Landfill and Produces a High Quality Marketable End Product

City employs recycling and composting to maintain the balance between developing its economy and preserving its environment. The IPS Composting System processes biosolids with green waste.

Convective Thermal Dryer Helps Clearwater Cogeneration WRF Save Energy By Turning Up the Heat

The Clearwater Cogeneration Wastewater Treatment Plant (CWWTP) in Corona, Calif., needed help processing 110 wet tons per calendar day (9167 pounds per hour) of municipal biosolids with a dry solids content of 16 percent.

Dewatering Sludge Through a Filter Press Helps Eliminate Municipal Surcharge for Wastewater Treatment

Poultry processing today requires sophisticated, strategic planning in order to be competitive in the marketplace and profitable on the books. It’s a high volume industry where any one operator processes tens, even hundreds of thousands of birds on a daily basis. This is especially true for a complete, vertically integrated food industry such as Rocco, Inc. of Harrisonburg, Virginia, which processes approximately 55,000 (fresh) turkeys daily.

Dutch Wastewater Plant Cuts Biosolids Production and Generates Phosphates for Re-Use

In upgrading the municipal wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) in Zeewolde, The Netherlands, Siemens Water Technologies needed to reduce operational costs for waste activated sludge (WAS) disposal but keep the excellent effluent quality and not impact its design capacity.

Filter Press Installed as Innovative Means to Dewater Waste Sludge From Biological Treatment System

Timely distribution of fresh poultry to market is the key to success in servicing the fast food chicken business. Rocco Farms, Inc. of Harrisonburg, Virginia is the country’s fifth largest poultry processing company. Its chicken operation caters primarily to the northeastern corridor of the country. Their main chicken processing plant is located in Edinbrug, Virginia, some 50 miles north of Harrisonburg.

Georgia City Puts the Squeeze on WTP Sludge

By 1997, Cumming, Georgia, realized the need to increase capacity at its water and wastewater facilities and decrease traffic congestion. As the city increased its water treatment plant’s capacity from 3 million gallons per day (mgd) to 8 mgd, it also needed to find an alternative means of disposing of potable water residuals (sludge) that result from the water treatment process.

Improved Activation Reduces Polymer Consumption By More Than Two-Thirds, Saves City More Than $200,000 Annually

Sludge dewatering efficiencies at the 30 million gallons per day (MGD) Lancaster, PA., wastewater treatment facility had long been in steady decline, with sludge coming off the belt filter presses averaging only 15-17 percent solids.
