Landfill leachate can be very challenging to effectively treat as it is often characterized by significant odor, high COD, phenols and dissolved metals. In some cases, leachates can be toxic or inhibitory to downstream biological treatment systems. Furthermore, due to the variability of landfill material, weather patterns and content age,...

ABSTRACT

In 2008, the Green Bay (Wisconsin) Metropolitan Sewerage District acquired the De Pere Wastewater Treatment Facility and interceptors from the City of De Pere. Two of those interceptors received wastewater from paper mills exhibiting high biochemical oxygen demand and high temperatures. Mill wastewater contributed 80 percent of the total...

Project Scope

A remediation contractor received a contract to clean up a former Manufactured Gas Plant (MGP) waste collection area. After thorough site characterization, bench testing and a pilot study, the consulting engineer and the remediation contractor selected the contractor’s patent-pending, surfactant-enhanced In-Situ Chemical Oxidation (ISCO) as the treatment technology....

Introduction

Nitrogen oxides are major pollutants in the atmosphere and are a precursor to acid rain, photochemical smog, and ozone accumulation. The oxides are mainly nitric oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO ₂ ), both of which are corrosive and hazardous to health.

Stationary Source Focus

With the use of...

Introduction

Wastewater streams and process baths at metal surface finishing operations can be very challenging to effectively treat. USP Technologies (USP) can help metal finishers and processors by characterizing each unique situation and matching it to our technically sound and proven options for NOx emissions control in stainless steel and...

Odor & Corrosion Best Practices Webinar

ABSTRACT

In August of 2012, Monroe County DES initiated a demonstration of Peroxide Regenerated Iron – Sulfide Control (PRI-SC^®) technology as a performance improvement over the existing hypochlorite and hydrogen peroxide odor and corrosion control program. This demonstration was designed to control hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) odors and corrosion along...

ABSTRACT

Historically the technology to continuously monitor “odors” or odor units in real time has not been available. Since October 2009, the Hampton Roads Sanitation District (HRSD) has been successfully demonstrating new technology that is performing real time odor monitoring of the odors from the uncovered portion of the...
