What Is Biological Wastewater Treatment?
Biological wastewater treatment uses natural processes to decompose organic substances in processes ranging from septic treatment to advanced solutions like MABR and biogas production.
Treatment Solutions for Meat-Processing Wastewater
Meat-processing plants, which produce wastewater with high BOD and COD, can both improve effluent quality and produce biogas with anaerobic digestion.
Benefits of Decentralized Treatment
Decentralization takes water and wastewater treatment where needed, establishing local control and saving money.
Adding Value With Anaerobic Digestion
Anaerobic digestion not only treats wastewater efficiently, but it also can generate enough energy from wastewater to power treatment processes.
What Is Zero Liquid Discharge?
Zero liquid discharge plants use wastewater treatments that leave all effluent ready for reuse, whether for irrigation or replacing freshwater supplies.
What Is Non-Revenue Water?
Non-revenue water (water that is pumped or produced, but lost to leaks, theft, and other causes) is one of the more persistent problems in municipal systems.
