Ensure proper equipment for your site: Start with a pilot unit.

Are you ready for the construction season? Energenecs provides the option of renting wastewater equipment in collaboration with our manufacturers. Through studies using pilot units, you can present evidence for the feasibility of your proposed solution. Pilots offer a way to gain practical experience, test reliability and timing, capture useful data, postpone capital expenditures and allow uninterrupted service while equipment is removed or replaced. Energenecs can provide units from Charter, Water Surplus, Lone Star and Huber. Read more

What you Need to Know about PFAS

Jim is an expert in water chemistry, groundwater treatment, municipal water treatment, and activated carbon and filtration. We asked him about current options for removing PFAS in water. Read more

Maximize Polymer Activation with Optimal Dilution Water

Polymer is often one of the top 3 costs of wastewater plant operation (behind labor and energy)! When you’re trying to clean water or wastewater, you add polymer to coagulate the contaminants which then sink down so you can filter them out. If coagulation is important for your process, you want the best machine and means to optimize the polymer. If you can optimize the performance of your polymer, you can potentially save a lot of money. Read more

3 Easy Ways To Improve HMI/SCADA Security

Many of you might have seen the recent breach of a SCADA system in Florida in the news. Unfortunately, in the connected age, this is and will continue to be a concern. Anything short of simply disconnecting from the internet and all outside connectivity, there will always be a risk. It is not dire, however. There are easy ways that you can maintain a level of SCADA security. Read more

Ultra-Fine 75 Micron Grit Capture

Wastewater contains large solids and grit that can interfere with treatment processes or cause undue mechanical wear and increased maintenance on wastewater treatment equipment. To minimize potential problems, these materials require separate handling. Grit includes sand, gravel, cinder, or other heavy solid materials that are “heavier” (higher specific gravity) than the organic biodegradable solids in the wastewater. Removal of grit prevents unnecessary abrasion and wear of mechanical equipment, grit deposition in pipelines and channels, and accumulation of grit in anaerobic digesters and aeration basins.

Data! Data! Data!

Energenecs recently provided an updated SCADA system, two well house panels, two elevated tower panels and six new lift station control panels (one stormwater, four wastewater and one more on the way) for the Village of Monee, Illinois. According to Brian Akason “it’s elegant, it’s unbelievable. This well house has more information in it than any well house I’ve ever dealt with!”. Read more
