phosphorus reduction technology from wastewater treatment specialist WCS Environmental Engineering (WCSEE) and sustainable filtration specialist Flocell has been trialled and purchased by United Utilities to help deliver tightened phosphorus removal consents at one of its wastewater treatment works
There is a growing trend towards moving wastewater pumping equipment out of an underground environment to increase equipment lifecycles
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
as well as examples of how communities have achieved cost savings by moving towards above-ground systems

By Bjorn Haake in Gundelfingen The UCI is trying everything it can to make doping controls as..
a lack of helpers left the chaperones running and sweating
The so-called chaperones are supposed to stay with riders from when they finish the race until the doping control
There are two ways a rider can get called upon by the chaperones
they can be led to the doping control immediately after the finish
Things get trickier with the ruling that the stage winner (or overall leader) is to be tested
It means when a rider comes in with a new best time he will have to be supervised until a different rider is faster
This is when the so-called hot seat comes into play
The potentially temporary number one rider will be seated in a chair on the podium until someone else is faster or the race is over
In the latter case they will get the podium kisses and ceremony
When Grischa Niermann came in with a 17'59 and a new best time in the Regio Tour's stage 4
heading downhill to the Rabobank bus and unlikely able to see the chaperones waiting at the barriers
So one of them had to sprint after Niermann for a good 300 metres
Niermann had already gone inside the bus to get some drinks
the chaperone was patiently waiting outside and explained that the situation wasn't abnormal
He will be placed on the hot seat after that." However
the chaperone started to get a little bit nervous for a different reason
Since the bus door was open and the rider visible
it is unclear if any regulation was violated
Riders do have 30 minutes from the finish of their race to the doping control
It was the second time of the day that he beat the clock
