The Water Environment Federation (WEF) recently announced Thioguard's Mary Evans, among 15 distinguished members as a 2018 WEF Fel low recipient. This prestigious designation recognizes members' achievements, stature, and contributions in the water profession." The impressive accomplish-ments of this year's WEF Fellows have made a profound impact in the water profession," said WEF Executive Director Eileen O'Neill. "We are honored to recognize their efforts to preserve and enhance the global water environment." The WEF Fellows Recognition Program underscores WEF's role as a valuable water quality resource, which is due in large part to the expertise of its diverse membership.
WEF Fellows are recognized in various areas of expertise including, but not limited to, design, education, operations, regulation, research, utility management and leadership. Mary Evans is a highly regarded member of the Water Environment Association of Texas and WEF, serving in a number of volunteer, committee and leadership capacities over a 40+ year water professional career. The 2018 WEF Fellows will be recognized during WEFTEC® 2018, WEF’s 91st annual technical exhibition and conference, September 29 to October 3 in New Orleans.

How Alkalinity A�ects NitrificationUse alkalinity profiling in wastewater operations to control biological activity and optimize process control
BY MARY EVANS AND GARY SOBER
“In addition, nitrification is pH-sensitive and rates of nitrification will decline significantly at pH values below 6.8. Therefore, itis important to maintain anadequate alkalinity in the aerationtank to provide pH stability andalso to provide inorganic carbon for nitrifiers.”
“When measuring total alkalinity, the endpoint reflects how muchalkalinity would be available at a pH of 4.5. At higher pH valuesof 7.0 to 7.4 SU, where wastewateroperations are typically conducted, not all alkalinity measured to a pHof 4.5 is available for use. Thisis a critical distinction for the bioavailability of alkalinity.”
“operation of a biological processdepends on steady-state conditions”
“alkalinity is the key to steady-state operations.”
“sufficient amount of alkalinity canprovide for improved performanceand expanded treatment capacity”
“operation of a biological processdepends on steady-state conditions”
