CASE STUDY: Hydro-Dyne Helps Romeoville Increase Efficiency and Reduce Maintenance Costs with Great White Center Flow Screen SITUATION:The city of Romeoville, Illinois, was struggling with outdated wastewater treatment equipment that was inefficient at removing solids, as well as difficult and time consuming to maintain. The existing 6mm catenary style screen system, installed in 2006, (Figure… Continue reading Romeoville, IL – Case Study
What is the Proper Way to Passivate Stainless Steel? Stainless steel has been used as the standard construction material for equipment at wastewater plants since the 1960s. Although it does not readily corrode or rust, stainless steel components in water and wastewater environments are still susceptible to corrosion because they are exposed to high levels… Continue reading What is the Proper Way to Passivate Stainless Steel?
Preventing Headworks Equipment Rust Rust may never sleep, but corrosion can be put to bed even in the worst environments with correct key practices. By Jay Conroy Rust never sleeps is the cliché of corrosion. Rust is a destroyer and a product of corrosion. Corrosion can be accelerated by the presence of hydrogen sulfide,… Continue reading Preventing Headworks Equipment Rust
Six Trends in Wastewater Screening Equipment and Wastewater Treatment As the diversity, types, and amounts of materials that enter wastewater treatment facilities increase, municipalities must have the knowledge and resources to respond with the proper screening system. New technologies are improving the equipment and processes that can improve operations by meeting these escalating wastewater treatment… Continue reading Six Trends in Wastewater Screening Equipment and Wastewater Treatment
Seven Common Wastewater Mechanical Screens Today’s sophisticated wastewater treatment processes require highly effective operations. It all starts in the headworks where optimal performance is largely determined by effective screenings capture ratio (SCR). There are three major design principles for maximizing SCR through tailored screen design: type, size and grid opening. Let’s talk about wastewater screen… Continue reading Seven Common Wastewater Mechanical Screens
