The Challenge

Wastewater disinfection is critical for protecting public health and the environment. However, traditional disinfection control strategies—like flow-pacing—struggle to account for dynamic variability in wastewater conditions.

Factors that can influence how much disinfectant is actually needed at any given time include:

• Real-time hydraulics
• Operational fluctuations
• Background disinfectant chemical...

The Challenge

A large pork processing plant was facing mounting pressure from rising chemical costs, increasing municipal surcharges, and evolving safety standards around hydrogen sulfide (H2S) management in its wastewater operations. The core issues they wanted to address included:

• Elevated H2S levels and associated hazards
• Rising chemical expenditures that...

The Challenge

A large protein processing facility in the southeastern US struggled to maintain target DO levels, creating a critical process bottleneck and threatening compliance.

Their difficulty maintaining DO levels stemmed from:

• High Operational Load: Increased throughput amplified oxygen demand in the aeration system.
• Seasonal Stress: Elevated temperatures reduced...

The Challenge

A large poultry processing facility was experiencing high levels of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and liquid sulfides downstream of its anaerobic digesters. These conditions created:

• Safety concerns for operators due to H2S exposure risk
• Excessive sulfide toxicity impacting the biological wastewater treatment process

The facility needed a...
