CHP Clean Energy Celebrates 2nd Anniversary of Privately Funded Green Energy Project

The City of Oceanside, California completed its 2nd year of operation of a cogen facility built completely with private money.

The CHP system in Oceanside saves the city up to $ 250,000 per year in power costs
while reducing CO2 emissions by 5600 tons annually. This is equivalent to removing 900 cars from the road each year.

A secondary benefit is being realized in excellent uptime and the reduction of
maintenance cost of the engines due to the Biospark fuel treatment system which
removes moisture and contaminants from the gas.

CHP Clean Energy, LLC funded and owns the project and will maintain and operate the
facility under a Power Purchase Agreement for ten years with an option to renew
for 10 years.

Golden Harvest Ships UV Level Control Gates for Indianapolis

 

 

GOLDEN HARVEST SHIPS UV LEVEL CONTROL GATES FOR INDIANAPOLIS:

Golden Harvest, Inc. recently shipped seven (7) GH-9000 level control gates from their factory in Burlington,Washington  for installation in Indianapolis, Indiana’s Belmont Wastewater Treatment Plant.  This will be the world’s largest installation for controlling water levels with an ultraviolet disinfection system.

The gates will be installed to control water level in the 98” wide  channel following the Trojan Technologies UV3000Plus Ultraviolet Disinfection System. The system will treat 170 MGD peak flow through seven channels.

Each gate which is fabricated from 316L stainless steel, will control flows from 8 – 25 mgd with total headloss of 3-6”  across the entire flow range.  The gates require no electrical
connections and were selected as a simpler alternative to electrically controlled weir gates.

The system is scheduled to begin operation in summer of 2013.

Trojan Technologies announces revolutionary advancement in wastewater disinfection!

Welcome to a new era in wastewater disinfection.  With the development of the new TrojanUV Signa from Trojan Technologies, no longer should large wastewater facilities feel limited to chlorine disinfection.  The UV SignaTM incorporates Trojan’s latest innovations, including the Trojan UVSolo LampTM, to reduce the total cost of ownership and drastically simplify operation and maintenance.  It is the ideal solution for large plants wanting to easily and cost-effectively convert from chlorine to UV disinfection.  Key benefits of the UV SignaTM and UVSolo LampTM include:

-State-of-the-art lamp drivers enable lamp dimming from 100 to 30% power and has built-in diagnostic capabilities for easy troubleshooting.
-Staggered and inclined lamp arrangements, developed through CFD analysis, maximize disinfection performance.
-Chemical and mechanical sleeve cleaning from the dual action ActiCleanTM system provides superior, automatic sleeve cleaning and fouling removal.
-Lamp change-outs and routine maintenance can now be done while leaving the modules in the channel – minimizing downtime and simplifying operation.
-The Hydraulic profile, UV modules and ancillary equipment designed to fit within chlorine contact tanks make the upgrade to UV simple and cost-effective.

Parkson OHxyPhogg Update !!

Odor FREE Demos Available NOW !!
To schedule your free demo, call us at 800-597-5099
Or e mail us at glubin@hpthompson.com

The Parkson OHxyPhogg odor control system uses patented air atomizing three-fluid nozzles for incredibly efficient fogging results.  The OHxyPhogg combines ozone, water and air to create hydroxyl ions that are efficiently dispersed throughout confined spaces such as lift stations, wet wells, holding tanks and headworks channels.  The fog creates a chemical reaction that reduces or eliminates Hydrogen Sulfide bacteria and other odorous compounds.  While odor control is most often the primary area of interest, the hydroxyl ion fog  is an effective method of REDUCING GREASE as well in most applications. Bowling Green uses the OHxyPhogg in a couple of their pump stations. Let us know if you would like to check it out. In the meantime, get with us to sign up for a FREE DEMO.

Warren County Selects Hydro for Grit Treatment, Trojan UV for Disinfection

 The Henry P. Thompson Company was successful in supplying process equipment for the Warren County Lower Little Miami WWTP Expansion.  The project is currently under construction having bid in the Fall of 2009.  The 14 mgd average design plant includes the Hydro Eutek Head Cell for grit treatment, the expansion of the Siemens Vertical Loop Reactor (VLR) and Tow-Bro Clarifiers for process treatment, and the Trojan UV 4000 Plus for disinfection.

The Hydro Grit System is designed to remove, classify, wash and dewater grit at a peak flow of 58.0 MGD.  The system includes two Hydro Headcell units capable of removing 95% of all grit equal to and larger than 125 micron in size.  The grit separation/classification equipment includes the Hydro Slurry Cup and Grit Snail designed to handle 280 to 450 gpm and remove 95% of all grit equal to and larger than 50 micron.

Warren County selected to expand the treatment process by adding one new Vertical Loop Reactor (VLR) and two (2) Tow Bro Clarifiers to their existing system.  The new VLR consists of four aeration basin passes each with a  dimension of 150’ L x 30’ W x 21’ SWD.  The equipment includes twelve (12) rotary disc aerator assemblies, coarse bubble aeration and two (2) 110 ft. diameter clarifier mechanisms.

 The Trojan UV4000 System supplies high intensity, medium pressure lamp, ultraviolet (UV) disinfection.  The system is designed to handle a future peak flow of 58.0 MGD while maintaining treatment performance of E-coli less than 126 CFU per 100 ml and less than 1,000 Fecal Coliform per 100 ml.  An automatic UV lamp cleaning systems is included which will operate without system shutdown or loss of disinfection.
