Lone Star Dairy is a leading producer of value-added dairy ingredients derived from locally-sourced milk. While Lone Star Dairy was already enjoying the benefits of low-rate anaerobic digestion, production capacity was driving flows and loads beyond the capacity of their existing system. Upgrades were needed to remain compliant to protect the downstream publicly owned treatment works (POTW).

A temporary wastewater treatment system was deployed during a planned outage to support operations while two existing DAF units underwent repair.

Predictive monitoring and automated control optimized combined sewer operations, reducing overflow volumes and deferring major capital infrastructure investment.

The heart of the heating system features a set of “In-line” centrifugal pumps complete with Hydrovar® frequency converter model FCSH4 150-250/150 – FCS4H 125-200/55; these distribute water to 8 heating subsystems specific to the various buildings in the complex. Each subsystem features a series of multi-speed circulators which independently satisfy the demand of each single building.

Regulate and monitor pressures, supervise flow rates, consumption, and non-revenue water (NRW) in different sectors, and bring together system information from various sources including the SADM’s SCADA.

The estimated flow through this regulator was 85 MGD, with a combined plant capacity of 170 MGD. Local environmental regulations restricted the use of diesel engines to 175 HP or less, and all engine driven equipment was required to be sound attenuated to 50 decibels at 30 feet.

New building codes continue to raise efficiency standards for new and existing buildings; economic conditions pressure organizations to cut energy costs wherever possible; and new corporate sustainability initiatives require steady efficiency improvements.

Xylem built a coal ash disposal solution that met regulatory requirements while controlling labor and fuel costs.

Les Aliments Bari Inc.’s processing plant in Saint-Léonard-d’Aston, Quebec, Canada, needed a new wastewater treatment solution. In the past, wastewater was stored in large tanks on-site that was then applied on local farmland when weather permitted.
