Kellogg Company upgrades its Pikeville wastewater facility
ADI Systems first started providing wastewater treatment solutions to the Kellogg Company Pikeville Plant (formerly Mountaintop Baking) in Kimper, Kentucky, USA, in the late 1990s. In 1999–2000, ADI Systems was awarded a design/build contract to upgrade the wastewater treatment system due to production expansion at the plant. The upgrade included an ADI® hybrid anaerobic reactor followed by an ADI® sequencing batch reactor (SBR).

Limiting wastewater cadmium levels
In August 2010, an electroplating facility in California specializing in aircraft components was issued specialty permit levels for the reduction of cadmium in discharge wastewater. The current permit of 250 ppb was reduced to 70 ppb and the allowed cadmium levels are expected to move lower over the next few years.

Major Brewery Meets Discharge Limits and Taps into Green Energy
Increased discharge surcharges and newly imposed limits on wastewater strength prompted Oland Brewery to rethink its treatment strategy. The company wanted to be environmentally responsible, so it investigated on-site wastewater treatment options. Since the brewery is located in close proximity to neighboring buildings, space limitations were very influential in the brewery's technology selection.

Mobile demineralization reduces refinery costs
A refinery in Northern California was unable to meet its desired boiler feed water silica specifications on a consistent basis. The higher silica levels led to an excessive blow down requirement in the boiler system. The higher blow down rates were significantly affecting the refinery's water, chemical, and natural gas costs. -
Mobile water treatment averts wastewater release
Piney Point is the site of an inactive fertilizer facility. Following a bankruptcy filing by the parent company in 2001, the site was taken over by the State of Florida to oversee closure. Heavy rainfall and tropical storms in 2001 demanded immediate response to a potential breach of the site's pond dikes and hundreds of millions of gallons of acidic wastewater.

Modular MBR system allows Noosa Yoghurt to expand operations
When Noosa first began making yoghurt, the plant was able to mix dairy wastewater with manure and apply it to land as a fertilizer. As production increased, this method of wastewater disposal became unsustainable, so Noosa made the environmentally-responsible choice of investing in on-site wastewater treatment.

Municipal waterworks ensures compliance with regulations
The German municipal waterworks SWU Energy provides 162,000 people per day with potable water. This encompasses a distribution system of approximately 760 kilometres in Ulm, Neu-Ulm and the neighboring districts. More than 11 million cubic metres of water per year come from the valleys of Donau and Iller. The sedimentary nature of the region ensures the high quality of the water which is distributed by twelve pumping stations and ten high-level reservoirs.
