To process the world’s water

Challenge: Wastewater plants’ desire to save substantially on maintenance costs by removing more solids in the pretreatment phase.

Solution: Parkson purchased a major screening company to expand its total screening and residuals management capabilities.

A Parkson pretreatment or in-process system ensures efficient solids removal, reduces maintenance costs and guarantees enhanced operation of downstream processes.

To process the world’s water

Challenge: Cincinnati, Ohio Airport had significant de-icing fluid runoff from the runway through the winter months; discharging the fluid into local rivers or water streams would cause significant harm to the environment.

Solution: Parkson Biolac® was identified as the ideal solution for the 2 MGD plant.

– Low maintenance costs

– Smaller footprint than alternative options

– Consistently high effluent quality

– Installed in 2007

Solving the World’s Complex Water Problems

Challenge: The delicate Chesapeake Bay region in the Unites States has been under tremendous pressure to reduce the high levels of nutrients throughout its watershed.

Solution: Parkson Dynasand D2® Application.

– Continuously cleaned sand bed

– No moving parts

– Low pressure drop (36”-48”)

– High solids capacity (100 mg/L TSS)

– Elimination of ancillary equipment.

Dramatic Upgrades to Best-in-Class Technology

Parkson DynaSand® EcoWash™

Parkson has over 30 years of experience designing the world’s most successful continuous backwash sand filtration. While the DynaSand® continues to be a favorite sand filtration for dozens of customers every year, in 2010 Parkson unveiled a revolutionary design. Parkson’s new EcoWash™ option allows operators to save 90% in energy costs and save 90% in reject water loss through its innovative new design and controls. For customers that demand the best possible filtration, Parkson’s new design can save hundreds of thousands of dollars annually.

Recent example: “A plant operator in Colorado, USA expects to see a return on their investment in a matter of a few months, not years.”

To process the world’s water

Challenge: Plant facing odorous issues throughout its collection system, particularly at various lift stations which were within close proximity to residential areas.

Solution: Parkson acquired the exclusive license to sell the small-footprint OHxyPhogg™ in-situ hydroxyl radical fogger with its patented atomizing nozzle. The OHxyPhogg™ has been embraced by plants for its immediate odor-fighting capabilities.

– No chemicals required

– Eliminates scrubbers or reduces their load

– Easy start-up and maintenance

– Rapid reaction with odorous gases

– Online and optional offsite monitoring

– Fats, oils and grease reduction benefits

To process the world’s water

Challenge: Plants are struggling to reduce energy expenses and the aeration process is the most significant energy consumer, frequently accounting for 40% to 60% of a plant’s total usage.

Solution: Parkson value engineered its aeration system to reduce the air requirement, which translated into reduced energy costs. The high density basin floor coverage of the newest generation HiOx® aeration panels raises the bar on energy efficient aeration. The new panel, with its 1 mm ultra-fine bubbles, achieves the highest standard oxygen transfer efficiency (SOTE) of any aeration equipment on the market today.

Next Generation Product Development

– High floor coverage = Low flux rates

– Low flux rates = High SOTE, therefore less air

– Less air = Low power requirements

14

To process the world’s water

Challenge: Traditional thermal sludge driers are expensive to operate and maintain and require an excessive amount of energy.

Solution: Parkson introduced an energy efficient dryer to more efficiently dry large volumes of sludge. The THERMO-SYSTEM® Active Solar Sludge Dryer uses solar energy, a drying bed and a greenhouse-like chamber with a microprocessor controlled drying environment to achieve up to 90% dry solids. The sludge is aerated during the drying cycle by its computerized Electric-Mole™.

Acquiring New Technology

– Class A sludge for maximum disposal options

– Low energy and operating costs

– Substantially reduced sludge volumes

– Dried biosolids can be used for composting, as fertilizer or as

an energy source

– Consistent results

– Suitable for all types of sludges

15

Environmental Commitment

For fifty years, Parkson has been dedicated to improving the quality of the world’s water. The company continues to invest heavily to expand its capabilities, including a new Sustainability Manager and numerous technologies that dramatically enhance customers’ ability to save money and water in the treatment of water.

– Reduced energy consumption

– Reduced chemical usage

– Reduced operational costs
