Municipal Wastewater Treatment

Municipal Wastewater Treatment

At USP Technologies, we provide full-service applications for wastewater treatment, whether you’re looking for advanced treatment technologies, cost-effective solutions, or expert guidance to fine-tune your systems. We provide the equipment and manage the chemical supply to ensure your system is optimized, in full compliance with regulations, and ready to meet your needs.

Municipal Wastewater Applications

Our services ensure optimal performance and compliance across various treatment needs:

• Collection system odor and corrosion: Our evaluated response programs serve to remediate odor and corrosion issues in municipal wastewater treatment infrastructure, helping maintain system integrity. Our advanced products, including SulFeLox®, offer cost-effective and efficient solutions for controlling sulfide in collection systems.
• Treatment plant odor and corrosion: We can handle treatment plant odor and corrosion issues in industrial wastewater treatment, restoring system functionality and minimizing disruptions. Plus, with our innovative solutions like PRI-TECH™ Peroxide Regenerated Iron, USP Technologies can deliver cost savings and more effective treatment compared to conventional iron salt use.
• Disinfection: Effective disinfection is the final and critical step in wastewater treatment to protect public health and the environment by eliminating pathogenic organisms. USP Technologies offers advanced disinfection solutions, including OaSys iCT™ – an innovative control solution that dynamically accounts for various sources of system variability in real time to help deliver more consistent disinfection performance, minimize the risk of byproduct formation, and a reduction in unnecessary chemical usage – saving you money and reducing compliance risks.
• Nutrient removal: Facilities working to reduce phosphorus and nitrogen discharge to meet regulations can partner with us. We offer biological, chemical, and physical solutions to improve nutrient removal and protect downstream ecosystems.
• Biosolid management: USP Technologies helps optimize biosolids management by improving dewatering, reducing odors, and enhancing stabilization. Our tailored chemical and biological solutions increase efficiency and lower disposal costs.
• pH control and alkalinity management: Maintaining pH levels helps prevent issues like poor sludge sedimentation, reduced nitrification, and ineffective disinfection. Our advanced products, including Omya Optical^®, offer an effective and cost-efficient solution for stabilizing pH and improving sludge handling.

For a more comprehensive solution, we offer full-service wastewater solutions, ensuring reliable wastewater treatment through high-quality equipment, expert operation, and continuous optimization. We can handle system maintenance, chemical supply logistics and management, remote monitoring, and performance evaluations.

Importance of Effective Wastewater Treatment

Untreated or inadequately treated wastewater can lead to compliance violations, equipment failures, and environmental harm. Our full-service wastewater treatment solutions help ensure:

• Regulatory compliance: Strict local, state, and federal regulations govern wastewater discharge to protect water quality and public health.
• Operational efficiency: A well-maintained wastewater treatment system reduces downtime, prevents costly repairs, and extends the lifespan of critical equipment. Inefficient processes can cause clogs, excessive sludge buildup, or unstable pH levels, leading to increased maintenance costs and slow production.
• Cost-effectiveness: Overuse of chemicals, frequent equipment breakdowns, and high sludge disposal fees impact expenses significantly.
• Environmental protection: Untreated or improperly treated wastewater can harm ecosystems, contaminate water sources, and disrupt communities. Maintaining a well-functioning treatment system ensures that discharged water meets environmental standards and supports sustainability.

Wastewater Treatment Methods

Physical Treatment

Physical treatment uses screening, sedimentation, and filtration to remove solids. Doing this early in the treatment process:

• Prevents clogging
• Reduces strain on biological and chemical treatments
• Improves overall system efficiency

Biological Treatment

Biological treatment using microorganisms to break down organic contaminants in wastewater can be aerobic or anaerobic — these are essential for reducing biological oxygen demand and total suspended solids. Our supplemental dissolved oxygen solutions optimize aerobic treatment so microorganisms can effectively break down waste. Our tailored alkalinity management supports biological processes and maintains a stable environment for efficient treatment.

Chemical Treatment

When adding chemicals to wastewater to neutralize contaminants, disinfect pathogens, and control pH levels, processes include coagulation, flocculation, oxidation and disinfection. These chemical treatments ensure wastewater meets discharge regulations by removing harmful substances and killing bacteria and viruses, especially in industries with strict compliance requirements.

Chemical wastewater treatment programs are our specialty. At USP Technologies, we can supply and manage a full range of high-quality treatment chemicals to optimize chemical wastewater treatment, including coagulation, pH balance and disinfection. Our engineers monitor and adjust chemical dosing to ensure efficiency while minimizing costs.

Sludge Control and Treatment

Processing solid waste byproducts from wastewater treatment to reduce volume, neutralize contaminants, and prepare for disposal or reuse involves thickening, digestion, dewatering and stabilization. Proper sludge treatment lowers disposal costs, minimizes environmental impact, and allows for resource recovery, like biogas production or biosolids reuse. Our expertise in chemical treatments to help improve solids handling can help improve efficiency of sludge management, reducing disposal expenses. We help optimize sludge processing with tailored chemical applications to improve dewatering and stability.
