The integration of TITAN MEM-BOX into a treatment process scheme elevates conventional wastewater treatment plants to cutting-edge water resource recovery facilities (WRRFs) by (a) improving plant capacity (b) improving effluent quality (c) implementing water reuse to counter water scarcity and (d) meeting population growth and tightening permit demands.

Designed for both existing and newly proposed plants, the TITAN MEM-BOX membrane system eliminates the need for constructing additional treatment basins while streamlining the design process. This approach drastically reduces project time and costs associated with concrete tank construction. The factory-built and tested system arrives to the plant site ready to be integrated into the treatment scheme to produce superior effluent and achieve biological nutrient removal.

The TITAN MEM-BOX comes with integral hollow-fiber or flat-sheet membranes (depending upon the application). With S&L’s intuitive QUICKSMART PLC controls and plant automation, which includes automatic membrane cleaning, TITAN MEM-BOX is designed to make operation and maintenance the easiest of any membrane system.

The TITAN MEM-BOX also integrates with S&L’s large-flow Model R OXIGEST treatment system to form the OXIGEST MBR, offering a complete MBR treatment solution for flows of 250,000 gpd and larger, up to 2+ MGD per train.
Smith & Loveless’ experienced technical staff assists project designers and end-users through every step of the project, from the pre-design phase to field installation and beyond with complete and reliable lifetime after market support as proven during S&L’s 75-plus years.

From Depths to New Heights: Revolutionizing Wastewater Pumping with Above-Ground Technology

17.03.2025 -

There is a growing trend towards moving wastewater pumping equipment out of an underground environment to increase equipment lifecycles, reduce labor and replacement costs, and increase worker safety. The trend away from submersible pumps toward above-ground pump stations eliminates the frequent pulling and replacement due to clogs and failures and reduces hazards and costs of accessing confined spaces. Read on for an overview of key advantages, as well as examples of how communities have achieved cost savings by moving towards above-ground systems.

Technical Article: Achieving True Ultra-fine Grit Removal

06.02.2025 -

We naturally adjust our expectations within the constraints of what is practical. When we lived in an analog world, we didn’t expect or even easily imagine what would become possible in the digital era. But as technology evolves, we expand our expectations, raise our standards, and eventually become dependent on new levels of performance. That’s what’s happening with grit removal efficiency for wastewater treatment plants and sand removal in potable water plants.
