The Unseen Hazards of Wastewater Treatment Plants

The main gases of concern in wastewater treatment plants are methane, hydrogen sulfide, and oxygen (or the lack thereof). Hydrogen sulfide and methane are the byproducts of the decomposition of organic materials that exist in the waste flows feeding the plant. The buildup of these gases may lead to the lack of oxygen, or in some cases ...

Considerations for Selecting Valves for Lime Slurry Service

By Todd Loudin. Lime is widely used in the municipal water industry and can be very difficult to manage because of scale formation. Valves and related equipment used in lime slurry service need to be selected carefully to limit system maintenance and the potential for system failure. Limestone is mined from a quarry as Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3).
