Conference Agenda

This presentation will review how variable frequency drive use on varying demand loads can reduce energy and CO2 levels. A demonstration on intelligent drives controlling two pieces of rotating equipment will be shown. Specific pump application features such as condition based monitoring for predictive maintenance and de-ragging will be discussed.

Corrosion and odors are a constant challenge for many wastewater treatment systems. Sewer collections systems, manholes, wet wells and wastewater treatment plant headworks are some common problem areas. Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) is the offending gas that causes pipe and infrastructure degradation, odors, and safety concerns. There are many ways to deal with Hydrogen sulfide from odor scrubbing systems to a host of chemical treatments.

The challenge is to know where the odors are formed, how much chemical to add, and how efficient removal is due to the highly volatile nature of H2S. Traditional treatments rely on very difficult lab testing or inconsistently representative air testing. In-situ, real-time liquid phase H2S monitoring turns out to be a more accurate and predictive measurement as we’ll discuss some real-world data and application of an innovative measurement technology principal.
