Reducing Sludge Bulking without Chemicals
There are few activated sludge wastewater treatment plants – both municipal and industrial – that haven’t, at some time, suffered from the phenomenon of sludge bulking. This is when sludge refuses to settle and forms a layer of dense brown foam on the surface of the aeration tank and final settling tank. The result of […]

Using Artificial Intelligence to Reduce Carbon Footprint
Over a decade ago, ‘A Low Carbon Water Industry in 20501 ’report was issued by the Environment Agency as part of its Resource Efficiency Programme. It was a response to the Climate Change Act, which imposed a legally binding target of reducing, by 2050, UK greenhouse gas emissions by 80% from their 1990 levels. How […]

Yorkshire Water uses Te-Tech air-lift pumping for wastewater duties
At Stocksbridge, a single Type B te-sewpas unit with duty/standby air blowers serves the two humus tanks. Rather than using the standard control panel, MMB decided to integrate the te-sewpas controls into the central PLC and Te-Tech provided a functional design specification for this purpose. The project was completed in October 2019. “We’ve been using the air […]

Morpheus was right after all
Intelligent machines are taking over (wastewater treatment at least). Stuart Rice assesses the use of Artificial Intelligence in control systems for Wastewater Treatment Works. The release of the fourth movie in the Matrix series, Matrix Resurrections, seems like an appropriate time to look at how machines with artificial intelligence are taking over many process control […]

Making biomass energy even more sustainable
Ben Hazard discusses the environmental benefits of its wood burner condensate treatment process With the focus still on COP26 and several hard-hitting climate reports, biomass is becoming an increasingly viable and sustainable fuel for electricity generation and heating. Already an established technology in Europe, biomass usage is rising rapidly around the world. However, there is […]

From the Caribbean….
Te-Tech have been asked to provide some specialist control systems expertise on one of the world’s largest cruise ships. As a result of this, we are providing a technical analysis of the ship’s critical control systems. Each of the 13 control systems will be thoroughly surveyed and mapped against drawings. Our engineers have flown out […]
