Wastewater

Amit Kapur, Founder, Chairman & MD of NICO Nanobubble India Co. From Compliance to Competitive Advantage in Wastewater Treatment  Municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants are no longer judged solely on discharge compliance. Today’s benchmarks extend to energy efficiency, footprint reduction, chemical minimisation, carbon intensity, reuse readiness, and resilience under fluctuating loads. Conventional process trains while proven are increasingly strained by tightening norms, rising power tariffs, land constraints, and sustainability mandates.  This is precisely where NICO Nanobubbles position itself not as a disruptive replacement, but as a high-impact process intensifier…

Cortec® Solutions Helped City Wastewater System Cut Corrosion Costs by $10,000+ in One Year

eawater

How can wastewater treatment operators keep their sensitive, high-dollar electronics from deteriorating prematurely in a corrosive environment? The answer comes from a Midwest US wastewater treatment plant that used Cortec® corrosion solutions to halt the failure of expensive HMI (human machine interface) panels at the rate of one or two every six months.* With the high price of $15,000-$40,000 per replacement, the plant relied on their Cortec® representative, Cortec® Global Services, for answers that can benefit any treatment plant. Why Are Wastewater Environments So Corrosive? Wastewater treatment environments not only…

Industrial-Wastewater-Treatment

Every company’s wastewater stream is unique, based on their industry, inputs, outputs, processes, volumes, discharge parameters, and seasonal variables, as well as federal EPA, state, and local regulations. Consequently, their wastewater treatment often must be tailored to their specific needs to avoid violations and fines and reliably remain in compliance. Industrial wastewater is often contaminated with a wide range of pollutants, including suspended solids, heavy metals, and organic compounds. Many treatment methods require multiple steps, a variety of chemicals, or extensive labor to achieve even marginally acceptable results. Additionally, the…

Innovative Solutions for a Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant

eawater

The problem Recently, a local water activist brought to public attention a disturbing phenomenon occurring in the Yamuna River in Delhi, India: vast quantities of white foam were polluting the sacred waterway. The source of this foam was traced not to a single plant, but to multiple municipal wastewater treatment plant along the river. While these plants were treating the water, the discharge process itself was contributing to the problem. Treated water, flowing through channels at high rates, intersected with the city drains at points where there were steep falls.…

BARKING-UP-THE-RIGHT-TREE

United Utilities has become the first water company in the UK to implement an innovative plant-based method for phosphorus removal, addressing a significant environmental challenge. Excess phosphorus is the leading cause of water quality failures in England and Wales, prompting increasing regulatory pressures and investments in wastewater management. Currently, UK water companies spend approximately £39 million annually on metal-based chemicals for phosphorus removal, with rising demand and costs. This chemical approach poses challenges for small, rural sites due to higher investment needs and logistical limitations. Last year, United Utilities led…
