Side Stream Filters: Enhanced Efficiency with Glass Media
Side stream filters are integral components in industrial and commercial water treatment systems, designed to improve water quality by continuously filtering a portion of the total water flow. They target contaminants like suspended solids, scale, and biological growth, protecting equipment and reducing maintenance needs. These filters find applications across various industries such as HVAC, […]
The Economics of an Ultrafiltration Membrane
Ultrafiltration (UF) membranes are a vital part of the modern water and wastewater treatment process. These membranes serve as a physical barrier, filtering out suspended solids, bacteria, viruses, and other contaminants from water. UF membranes are typically used after preliminary treatments, like coagulation and flocculation, and before more advanced treatments, such as reverse osmosis. […]
One Size Does Not Fit All: Tailoring Biocultures for Water Treatment
In the world of water treatment, especially in systems like Effluent Treatment Plants (ETPs) and Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs), microbial or bacterial cultures play a pivotal role. They’re vital to the efficient functioning of these systems, fostering the growth of Mixed Liquor Suspended Solids (MLSS) and Mixed Liquor Volatile Suspended Solids (MLVSS) and reducing pollutants […]
Understanding Foaming in Water & Wastewater Treatment Plants
Foaming is a common yet challenging issue in water and wastewater treatment plants. It occurs when bubbles of gas are trapped in a liquid, forming a foam layer on the surface. This phenomenon can impact the efficiency of treatment processes and the overall performance of these facilities. In this blog, we will explore […]
Understanding Electroplating & Environmental Challenges
Electroplating has long been a cornerstone of modern manufacturing and innovations in almost all industries. It essentially refers to the process of coating a thin layer of metal onto the surface of another material, making it aesthetically pleasing and functionally viable. This process is crucial for enhancing the appearance, durability, and resistance to corrosion […]
Understanding Algae/Biofilm & The Impact on Efficiencies
Algae and biofilm formation are highly common challenges across a wide range of industries, including a few where the quality of the water supply is of paramount importance.
