DRINKING WATER CASE STUDIES AND WHITE PAPERS

• Appreciating The Importance Of Resiliency

  As essential services, water and wastewater utilities face a lot of pressure to maintain continuity despite a variety of challenges — stormy weather, natural disasters, and even global pandemics. In-plant instrumentation, SCADA systems, and remote sensors all have their roles. But for more holistic views and higher-level analyses of performance patterns, an operational intelligence system can help to maximize resiliency.

• Register Today: Why Insertion Valve Technology Is The Future Of Installing Distribution System Control Points

  AVT is finding more and more that the number of control points added when water systems are designed are not sufficient for the current demands on the systems. So, what do water system operators do?

• How Severn Trent Uses Smart Solutions To Combat Water Scarcity

  Severn Trent is reducing water loss and improving customer engagement with smart meters and advanced data analytics, achieving measurable results in leak detection, conservation, and operational efficiency.

• The Right Chemical Feed Pump Choice Saves City Energy Cost And Downtime

  Long-term costs such as energy and maintenance are often not considered in the initial stages of water treatment plant upgrades. This potentially leaves treatment plants with ongoing and reoccurring expenses, which often result in higher energy bills, increased purchases of spare parts, and operator labor time. 

• Case Study: Optimized Quality Control In Mineral Water Plants

  Due to microbiological activity in the process, or to a lesser extent due to the reduction in nitrate levels in the raw water, nitrogen compounds may give rise to increased nitrite concentrations. By Endress + Hauser, Inc.

• Why It's Time To View Plastic Pipe In A Whole New Light

  Because recent advances in plastic materials and processing have led to a new generation of plastic piping systems to handle challenging water and chemical environments, it is important to understand why some older piping choices might no longer be the best bet. Here are some key reasons to consider new plastic-piping choices for municipal and industrial water/wastewater applications in a whole new light.

• 9 Reasons Why Drinking Water Distribution System Monitoring Is Now Practical

  Drinking water professionals and engineers understand that maintaining safe and high-quality water throughout the distribution system is a critical responsibility. Chlorine, the backbone of disinfection, ensures safety, but its effectiveness can falter in the complex network of pipes, tanks, and dead ends.

• Advanced Ultraviolet Disinfection Unit Provides First Cost-Effective Uses For UV Against Biofouling

  A unique, medium-pressure ultraviolet (UV) disinfection unit, representing multiple scientific advancements for this treatment method, has provided 98+% reduction of veliger settlement in a pro-active dreissenid mussel control application, at UV doses lower than anticipated.

• AFC Semper RPM: Topsfield Water Dept.'s Answer For Identifying Water Hammer

  For any water system, water hammer, also known as pressure transients, pose significant threats, from leaking joints to service connection failures and even pipes that burst. The damages resulting from these events can be costly to repair and leave customers without water.

• Stormwater Treatment and Reuse - Toronto, Ontario

  Sherbourne Common is an innovative waterfront park that provides the public with green recreational space along Lake Ontario in a former industrial area.
