DRINKING WATER MEASUREMENT RESOURCES

  • Meter reads, pressure measurements, leak alerts, and maintenance records all provide valuable insight into system performance. The challenge for most utilities is that this information often exists in silos across multiple systems, making it difficult to connect individual data points and determine what requires attention first.

  • For AI to deliver real operational value, it needs a constant flow of reliable operational data. AI systems are relentlessly data-hungry, and the more data, the better. Yet, accessing this data remains a major challenge in the utilities sector, with remote reservoirs, wastewater treatment works, and sprawling infrastructure often located a long way from traditional cellular networks.
  • Expectations for transparency and reliability in water-metering infrastructure have risen. As a result, a fundamental question is emerging across the industry: if modern ultrasonic meters are already smart, why are we still adding intelligence outside the meter?
  • A DWTP client in Alaska detected elevated PFAS contamination levels in two groundwater wells supplying drinking water to 85 service connections. PFAS concentrations are provided in Table 1, where combined concentration of EPA PFAS6 was detected at 490 to 810 ppt.

  • Non-intrusive ultrasonic technology provides precise, bi-directional flow measurement without process downtime. By clamping onto the pipe exterior, these systems eliminate maintenance and pressure loss, offering a reliable, data-rich solution for complex water and wastewater monitoring environments.

  • Given the maturation of sensor technology, the scientific and operational hurdles to portable lead analysis are somewhat surprising — but surmountable.
  • Accurate low-level turbidity monitoring requires a deep understanding of detection limits and the variables affecting measurement sensitivity. Learn how refined laboratory techniques and standardized spiking protocols ensure precision in demanding water treatment applications.

  • As water systems grow more complex and climate patterns shift, Legionella is emerging as one of the most persistent and underestimated risks in the built environment. The threat to public health from Legionnaires' disease will likely further escalate unless decisive action is taken.
  • Developed from U.S. Office of Naval Research requirements, this multiparameter chlorine sensor offers extended maintenance-free operation, flow-independence, and automatic compensation for reliable, in-pipe monitoring.

DRINKING WATER MEASUREMENT SOLUTIONS

  • Analyzing Total Organic Carbon In Sea Water

    The analysis of Total Organic Carbon (TOC) in seawater can be both challenging and expensive. The concentration of organic carbon in seawater is of considerable interest. The effect this matrix can have on TOC analyzers can lead to rapid consumable turnover, costly maintenance and repairs.

  • Digital Solutions For Water

    ABB uses digital solutions to drive outcomes. Engaging customers to demonstrate tangible results that scale.

  • ABB Ability™ For Water Facility Service

    Reduced operational costs and downtime through seamless distributed control system integration.

  • Laser Process Analyzer: LGR-ICOS™ 927 Series

    With no consumables or frequent calibration requirements, LGR-ICOS laser process analyzers can significantly improve process monitoring and control of industrial and environmental processes and other applications requiring fast, sensitive quantification of trace gases in ambient air, high purity gases, or in complex matrices.

  • Mechanical Flow Switches: F10 & F50

    Magnetrol® flow switches are highly reliable devices utilized to sense the start or stop of flow in horizontal pipelines containing oil and petroleum derivatives, chemicals, water, or air.
