GB Environmental's second generation UV disinfection equipment is helping leisure complexes around the UK improve the pool environment at the same time as making significant energy related cost-savings...
The traditional fishing village of Cove is situated on the Scottish West Coast, in the county of Dunbartonshire away from larger housing settlements and mains drainage. Situated close to the A1, the village has witnessed a growing population due to its good infrastructure and idyllic scenery. Due to recent housing developments, the local population is forecasted to grow from 500 to 760 inhabitants.
An abundance of scientific data proves the effectiveness of the germicidal waveband of Ultraviolet (UV) "C" in the fight against numerous water-borne pathogens; however, UV disinfection continues to be met with scepticism. This is due in part to lack of customer knowledge of the technology, but mostly because of the shortcomings of earlier equipment from numerous manufacturers.
The Henshaw Water Board held many hotly debated meetings in the local pub to reach their final decision of how they were to eliminate any pathogens in their water. Determined not to go on the “mains” water supply, when put to the vote they agreed ultraviolet disinfection was cost effective and an easily maintainable system that would not inhibit the taste of their water, and would not require the addition of chemicals...

The complexity of wastewater treatment plants has increased enormously over the past two decades with the introduction of technologies such as sequencing batch reactors (SBR), membrane bioreactors (MBR) and biological aerated filters (BAF). Many larger works now have many...
Rilta of Rathcoole, Ireland has installed a decanter centrifuge as part of its waste treatment processing plant and increased its potential throughput 5-fold. The company anticipates full capital payback on the machine within a year...
The use of instrumentation in standard nitrification plants has limited acceptance. Flow and dissolved oxygen (DO) measurements are well accepted. Most of the time only flow is included in an automatic control strategy. Mixed liquor Suspended Solids, pH and ORP are used at times. The use of chemical analyzers to determine the concentration of ammonia and the inclusion in a control strategy remains an exception...
