Dissolved air flotation (DAF) is ideal in clarifying waters and wastewaters in which the specific gravity of suspended solids or contaminants is close to or less than 1.0. These include oils, grease, algae and other low-density solids that do not settle effectively or have the tendency to float to the water’s surface. Rise rates for a traditional dissolved gas flotation (DGF) mechanism are... more

Designed according to API 421, these oil/water separators combine separation, skimming and sludge transport technologies into an efficient primary oil separation device. They remove the bulk of free oils and greases from the plant wastewater stream, eliminating overloading and other problems in downstream treatment processes. The separators are suited for general refinery wastewater, tank wash,... more

WesTech CleanFlo spiral screens provide efficient, economical screening for plants with flows of less than 10 million gpd. Screening, conveying and compaction are all performed by one drive motor. The stainless steel screen panel is automatically cleaned by long-wearing segmented brushes that are attached to a one-piece shaftless spiral auger. The shaftless spiral transports the screenings up the... more

The SuperSand continuous backwash sand filter is an up-flow moving bed filter that is constructed with various media depths for different applications and configurations. Raw water enters near the bottom of the tank by way of a stainless steel water distributor. Suspended solids are filtered out as the water flows up through the media bed. As the filtrate reaches the top of the filter, it passes... more

WesTech granular activated carbon (GAC) pressure filters effectively remove low-molecular-weight contaminants from aqueous solutions. They are especially well suited for the removal of the dissolved organic compounds that are responsible for poor taste and odor in drinking water, as well as removal of chlorine from industrial waters. When used as pretreatment equipment, these filters prolong the... more

WesTech ExtremeDuty sludge mixers provide vigorous mixing of digester contents to prevent stratification and improve the anaerobic process. They reliably speed gas production while reducing foaming and scum accumulation. This rugged design was originally developed to reduce the high service costs of egg-shaped digester mixers. It has proven to be so reliable that the ExtremeDuty sludge mixer is... more

CenTROL conventional gravity filters may be applied wherever cost-effective, space-saving conventional gravity filters are desired. CenTROL furnishes its own backwash water supply from in-service cells, so in most cases, backwash supply pumps are eliminated. CenTROL filters are used in hundreds of plants. They are preferred for their compact arrangement and simple operation. The CenTROL system... more

The Microfloc Trident technology represents a significant advance in water and wastewater treatment. It removes turbidity, suspended solids, color, iron, manganese, odor, taste and parasites such as Giardia lamblia and Cryptosporidium, and it does these things at lower capital costs, in smaller spaces and at higher flow rates per unit area than conventional systems. Today, more than 1,000 Trident... more
