Sustainability Case Studies

  1. SDOX Technology Mitigates Sulfide Production By Promoting Aerobic Environment 2/2/2021

    The Plant’s wastewater treatment facility uses four, covered anaerobic lagoons to manage BOD, pretreating wastewater prior to sending the effluent to a pumping station which directs the wastewater into the municipal collection system for final treatment at the City’s wastewater treatment plant. Read more to learn how the company used hydrogen peroxide and a catalyst to maintain an aerobic environment but was unable to adequately mitigate the odor from the facility’s wastewater.

  2. Side-Stream SDOX® Systems Enhance Biological Function And Treatment Capacity 2/1/2021

    Wastewater from the meat processing facility is treated using a sequence batch reactor and an aerobic lagoon that discharges to surface waters following treatment. The facility replaced surface aeration equipment with two, 350-HP the “no-splash,” side-stream SDOX systems retrofitted to the treatment basin. Read the full case study to learn the results.

  3. Jefferson Parish Prevents Odor And Corrosion Issues With BlueInGreen's SDOX-CS Solution 2/1/2021

    Officials at the Jefferson Parish Sewerage Department approached the team at Digital Engineering to find a long-term solution for the odor and corrosion issues throughout the East Bank Wastewater Treatment Plant. 

  4. City Of Fayetteville Replaces UV Treatment System With BlueInGreen's HyDOZ Solution 2/1/2021

    After researching different ozone systems, plant officials ata 12 MGD wastewater plant in Arkansas chose to install BlueInGreen’s HyDOZ technology in order to more efficiently meet current permit requirements, as well as prepare for future legislation.

  5. SDOX Technology Fulfills Oxygen Needs Of Biological Treatment Processes Without Interrupting Operations 1/31/2021

    Learn how the Millsboro processing plant replaced mechanical surface aerators with SDOX technology to fulfill the oxygen needs of the various biological treatment processes without interrupting operations.

  6. CDOX® And CO2-Based System Replaces Manual Chemical Dosing Of Strong-Acids, Increasing Workplace Safety 1/31/2021

    The wastewater pre-treatment plant processes effluent from the manufacturing facility prior to discharging into the sanitary sewer system for treatment at the municipal wastewater facility. Use of sulphuric acid to manage the pH of the wastewater in the buffering reactor tank prior to entering the DAF for solids and oil removal was considered to be an unnecessary risk requiring significant safety protocols.

  7. Juice Manufacturere Improves Production And Product Quality With Opcenter APS 1/12/2021

    Year after year the demand for Natural One quality products grew more than expected. Serving this growth by using only one filling line became a huge challenge. Siemens solutions enable Natural One to improve production and product quality. Using Opcenter APS to reduce production planning process from three days to two hours with greater reliability.

  8. Solution Helps Chocolate Manufacturer Build A Streamlined Factory 1/10/2021

    Chocolates Valor S.A. produces high-quality chocolate bars, chocolates and snacks. The company invested in digitalization solutions for the production environment, in particular through Preactor APS, which is a family of products for production planning and programming that improves the synchronization of manufacturing processes and offers greater visibility and control. It showed an immediate return on investment.

  9. Brand Spirits Leader Digitizes Business Operations With The SIMATIC IT Suite 1/7/2021

    Gruppo Campari closed 26 acquisitions in the spirits industry in the past two decades to become the world’s sixth player, with over 50 premium and super-premium brands. With each acquisition, Gruppo Campari needs to integrate new products, plants and assets into its operations management systems. By 2012 they realized there was no standard workflow for document authoring and validation, and information was shared via email or phone. Using Siemens technology, Gruppo Campari has created a unified repository for all product specifications and increased the efficiency of product development and manufacturing processes.

  10. TASKMASTER® Grinder Contributes to BioFuel Production 11/29/2020

    The Meadowbrook Dairy in El Mirage, California is part of a growing alternative energy initiative -the production of energy from renewable sources. In this example, the renewable source is manure provided by the dairy’s 2000 cows. Each day, 20,000 gallons of manure are collected, deposited and processed in an anaerobic digester. Methane is released which fuels a turbine that generates electricity. Enough power is generated to meet most of the daily needs of the 159 acre dairy.
