The Value Of Wave Integration With PRVs
10/19/2020
Distribution system water main breaks are a significant burden to communities and water systems not only due to disruption of water service to customers, but also due to significant economic burdens in the form of pipe replacement costs, excavation costs, and even insurance reimbursements. Read the full white paper to learn the KETOS Wave can be easily installed into existing PRVs to monitor the pressure and flow in the downstream side of the valve and proactively act in real-time as needed.

Water Sustainability: What Companies Are Promising And How They Can Deliver
5/24/2022
Water sustainability, conservation, and resiliency have become essential focus areas for many companies. While the US was once a water-rich country, certain areas are seeing what used to be an abundant resource become scarce.

Optimal Coagulant Dosage Control Of Raw Water
2/3/2022
The following describes how combining of the latest data management and process management solutions can optimize the coagulation process. Coagulation is influenced by several raw water parameters. This new approach uses a feedforward model with machine learning of several raw water parameters for optimal coagulant dosage control. In addition, feed-back control can be used to trim the feed-forward model. In 2020, utilities that have installed the coagulation optimization system have achieved approximately 10% reduction in coagulant dosage while achieving similar settled turbidity.

Are You Experiencing Deviation Alarms In Your High Pressure Process Vessels?
4/9/2018
In this white paper, learn how to decrease alarms due to redundant level devices not matching, especially in applications with high pressure and/or high temperature. The importance of Gas Phase Compensation (GPC) and how it affects level readings of guided wave radar (GWR) devices is critical. The presence of polar gas also can have an effect on the accuracy of any GWR that does not have GPC when installed in applications where high temperature or pressure is present. This paper will discuss these issues and address how to overcome them.

The Most Misunderstood Fact Behind Dissolved Oxygen Sensors (It’s The Pressure, Not The Concentration)
8/5/2015
A dissolved oxygen sensor ought to be simple to understand. Whether it is membrane or optically based, it gives a signal that is proportional to the concentration of oxygen concentration in water.

How To Clean And Handle pH Sensors
10/31/2017
For a pH sensor to maintain an accurate reading, the sensor must remain clean. Specifically, the glass measuring electrode cannot become coated, and the reference electrode assembly must not become coated, plugged or otherwise contaminated by the process solution. Here’s how to clean pH sensors to ensure correct operation.

Continuous Analyzer Integrated Data Validation
5/28/2015
Continuous analyzers are an integral part of the process to maintain quality, ensure compliance, and protect public health. Therefore it is imperative to ensure the analyzers are functioning properly and provide accurate and reliable data. This requires validation of the data provided by the analyzer on a routine basis. In addition some continuous analyzers incorporate internal data validation capabilities to inform the end user the reliability of the data provided by the analyzer. This paper discusses integrated data validation and how they may be integrated into SCADA systems.

ORP Based Measurement Of Oxidizing Disinfectants In Aqueous Solutions
9/22/2011
Oxidizing antimicrobials, such as chlorine, are common disinfectants used to treat water. Test strips, DPD kits, and colorimeters are currently the most popular methods for determining the relative disinfecting power of oxidizing antimicrobial agents in these applications. By Myron L Company

Chloramination Monitoring And Control
7/15/2015
Since the EPA has established that, together with free chlorine, monochloramine is a primary disinfectant, it has been possible to implement the process more intensively. Water that is treated with monochloramine has, depending on the source of the water, fewer problems concerning taste and odor than water treated with free chlorine. In addition, the chemically more stable monochloramine remains longer in the water, thus allowing a long-term disinfecting effect.
