Advanced dewatering technology engineered for wastewater sludge – and designed for simple day-to-day operation.Sludge dewatering has a direct impact on wastewater treatment plant operating costs, particularly through energy use, maintenance, labor, and sludge transportation and disposal. Multi-disc screw presses were developed specifically for the continuous dewatering of municipal and industrial wastewater sludge. Their advantages are based on a fundamentally unique operating principle – not simply on the use of a screw.This webinar will clearly explain the technology behind multi-disc screw presses and how precision engineering makes sludge dewatering reliable, efficient, and easy to operate. Participants will learn:what distinguishes a multi-disc screw press from a conventional screw press;which technological advances make continuous, self-cleaning sludge dewatering possible;how the low-speed screw, moving-ring filtration system, progressive compression, and automated controls work together;why the technology can be more reliable and require less maintenance than high-speed centrifuges;why it is generally simpler to operate, clean, automate, and maintain than belt filter presses;how low energy demand, limited wash-water use, simplified maintenance, and reduced operator attention contribute to lower lifecycle costs;which sludge properties and operating parameters determine capacity, solids capture, polymer consumption, and cake dryness;how to properly select and operate a multi-disc screw press and avoid common design and operational mistakes.Practical examples from municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants will demonstrate how a technology purpose-built for wastewater sludge can provide a strong combination of reliability, dewatering efficiency, operational simplicity, and cost-effectiveness.PresentersRandy Burns, Esmil Sales EngineerRandy Burns, an Esmil sales engineer with more than 30 years of experience in machine design and manufacturing, including 17 years in wastewater.

In this webinar, we will explore how clarifier mechanism design and selection can increase treatment plant capacity without requiring plant expansion. Attendees will gain a better understanding of mechanism design through side-by-side comparisons with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling. We will also discuss how operators can improve sludge withdrawal efficiency, protect effluent quality, maintain sludge blanket stability, and optimize solids distribution.  What you will learn:How to increase treatment capacity and improve effluent quality without plant expansion.How hydraulic and conventional spiral scraper mechanisms compare in performance. How energy-dissipating Inlets enhance flocculation, improve flow distribution and reduce dispersed sludge layeringHow CFD modeling provides a reliable basis for side-by-side comparison by removing much of the variability inherent in field testing and successfully reproducing observed sludge blanket depth, density currents, and solids behaviorPresenters:Entry 351284Matt MeyerMatt Meyer is a Global Product Manager for Clarification and Separation.

John J. Paoluccio, president of Inventive Resources, explains how the MOE – Manhole Odor Eliminator works. The Manhole Odor Eliminator is a carbon filter system designed to remove odors from sewer vents and other manholes. Each filter cartridge contains activated carbon filter media. This filter can remove large amounts of hydrogen sulfide and other odors from sewer manholes.  The only thing that needs to be replaced on the MOE is the carbon cartridge, as needed. What makes this sewer odor device unique is the variable bladder that allows peak gases to get polished and exit the carbon filter. This unique design extends the life of the replaceable carbon cartridge, saving you maintenance time and money. For ordering or additional information, please call 209-545-1663 or visit ManholeOdorEliminator.com.

Odors from wastewater treatment plants and collection systems aren't just unpleasant. They can lead to safety hazards for operators and the public as well as odor complaints and infrastructure corrosion. A holistic approach to odor control tackles the problem at its source while also treating emissions throughout the system.Liquid-phase solutions control the formation of odorous compounds like hydrogen sulfide by dosing chemicals directly into the collection system. Vapor-phase technologies capture and neutralize foul air at problem areas in lift stations and treatment plants.Join our webinar to learn proven strategies for optimizing your odor control program by integrating liquid-phase and vapor-phase technologies. Expert speakers from Manatee County and Xylem will showcase how combining these approaches enables utilities to target a broader range of odors across their system while reducing chemical demand and improving operational dependability. Speakers will also explore how real-time monitoring can optimize system performance by dynamically adjusting to changing conditions.Don’t miss this opportunity to learn actionable strategies from the experts and take your odor control program to the next level.
