A winery pond or lagoon can be an ideal treatment option for process wastewater because it is relatively low-maintenance, sustainable, easy to operate, and cost-effective. A pond with sufficient capacity can easily cope with the peak loads and changes in … Continue reading
Diagnosing and Correcting Nutrient Deficiency in Industrial Lagoons
Nutrient deficiency, or the lack of sufficient levels of ammonia and phosphorus, can prevent an industrial wastewater lagoon from removing BOD adequately. In this episode of LDIB-TV, our own Julie Hartwig explains how to diagnose and correct industrial lagoon nutrient … Continue reading
Fruit Processing Wastewater: A Video Case Study
Fruit processing wastewater is challenging to treat due to the seasonal nature of the industry and widely variable flows and loadings, with influent BOD levels much higher than typical municipal influent. Treated effluent, instead of being discharged, can be stored … Continue reading
Wastewater Lagoon Mixing for Egg Processing: A Video Case Study
Lagoon mixing is a critical component of wastewater treatment: Robust mixing keeps BOD-consuming microorganisms in contact with the dissolved and suspended organic matter and prevents sludge buildup. Mixing is especially critical for egg processing wastewater, which is notable for high BOD and … Continue reading
Wastewater Lagoon Expansion: A Video Case Study
What do you do when an industry wants to move to town and increase hydraulic and BOD loadings to the lagoon system? New jobs can be a boon to a municipality, but only if the infrastructure is capable of handling it. Coopersville, … Continue reading
That Dairy Air: Preventing Dairy Wastewater Odor
We’ve seen quite a few news stories recently about dairies being cited and fined for wastewater lagoon violations, namely biological oxygen demand (BOD) exceeding permit levels and odor complaints. So what’s going on? Why is dairy processing wastewater such a … Continue reading
