Boosting biogas yields with right pumps and mixers
With Republic Services wanting to optimize the biogas operation at Oroville, a new submersible chopper pump has been introduced for the facility’s 20,000-gallon Receiving Pit; from the same company whose equipment still works efficiently and effectively on the main digester.

New digester mixing system delivers better yields for Eco Verde Energy (EVE)
Online, one can find no end of advice on mixing systems for biogas digesters; often going into great detail about impeller designs, speeds and angles – but away from the office desk, speak to a Plant Manager or AD operator, and they’ll soon tell you that even the best mixing system in the world isn’t something that they want – inside the tank.

Daphne finds prime solution for primary problematical lift station
Suck it up, pressurize it and send it to the treatment plant. In theory, this should be a straightforward job for pumps at a lift station. However, as we all know, the curse of so-called ‘flushable’ products in our sewer systems is also proving that some so-called ‘non-clogging pumps’ are getting clogged.

The Valley Center way - combining energy savings now – with total cost of ownership
At Valley Center Wastewater Treatment Plant, and at an increasing number of facilities across Kansas, the decision to buy the more expensive equipment at the outset is proving to be the most economic. Savings in long-term maintenance are important, but in the shorter term, energy savings are fundamental.

New biogas production landmark for Scottish Water’s acclaimed sludge facility at Nigg
If we took a short trip forward in time to 2040, and then looked back at how some organisations in the water industry successfully achieved Carbon Net Zero, it’s likely you’ll see a large four-letter word: NIGG.

Food waste pump proves itself at largest University Biogas Plant
At the largest University campus AD/Biogas plant in the United States, a chopper pump made by Landia has now completed eight years of continuous robust service, despite the very tough environment of being in a food waste and FOG (fats, oils and greases) reception pit.

Landia and Cambi help deliver big upswing in biogas production for the water industry
Just south of Aberdeen, improvements continue to be made at Scottish Water’s Sludge Treatment Centre (STC) in Nigg – but at a site still approaching its full potential, 0.9~1.0MW per tonne of Dry Solids is already being consistently produced.

Greaseballs gone as new pumps get to work
Situated approximately halfway between two of America’s largest cities, Madisonville (population 4396) might not deal with the same mega volumes of wastewater that are treated in Dallas and Houston, but for its highly dedicated team, there is never any let up in their commitment to their city’s treatment plant.
