DRINKING WATER MEASUREMENT RESOURCES

  • Lowest-bid actuators can turn a new filtration plant into a maintenance burden. One Illinois facility's repeated failures show why purchase price is only one part of critical valve equipment cost.

  • Physics-driven algorithms and refined data processing are changing how acoustic monitoring finds leaks on large transmission mains, and standardized performance metrics are changing how utilities judge whether those systems work.

  • Rotary gear pump design holds flow steady as pressure shifts, pairing integrated digital monitoring with predictive diagnostics and service intervals measured in years rather than months for chemical dosing.

  • 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.

DRINKING WATER MEASUREMENT SOLUTIONS

  • Sievers TOC Analyzers

    SUEZ Water Technologies & Solutions manufactures Sievers Total Organic Carbon (TOC) Analyzers that enable near real-time reporting of organic carbon levels for treatment optimization, quality control, and regulatory compliance. Accurate measurement of TOC throughout a water treatment plant allows operators to reduce TOC levels, control DBPs, and implement efficiency and cost savings into the treatment processes. SUEZ offers a variety of laboratory, on-line and portable analyzers that measure TOC levels ranging from 0.03 ppb to 50,000 ppm.

  • WATERFLUX 3070 Electromagnetic Water Meter

    The WATERFLUX 3070 is a battery powered electromagnetic water meter for use in water abstraction wells, district metering areas (DMA) and custody transfer measurement of potable water (MI-001, OIML R49). With optional pressure and temperature sensors, the meter can also be used for leak detection, quality control and pressure management systems. 

  • FCL Free Chlorine Measuring System

    The Model FCL is a complete system that measures free chlorine in fresh water. It includes a transmitter (choice of Model 56 or Model 1056), a 499ACL-01 free chlorine sensor, a pH sensor (if required), and a constant head flow controller. The transmitter and flow controller are mounted on a back plate, and quick disconnect Variopol sensor cables are pre-wired to the transmitter, making installation and startup fast and easy.

  • OPTIMASS 3400 Coriolis Mass Flowmeter

    The OPTIMASS 3400 is a cost-effective Coriolis mass flowmeter for accurate flow measurement of liquids and gases in a variety of demanding low flow and dosing applications (from 0.3 kg/h or 0.01 lb/min upwards). The OPTIMASS 3400 features Entrained Gas Management (EGMTM) for liquid applications, providing reliable readings even in the event of gas entrainment of up to 100%. In this way, the Coriolis meter enables continuous and uninterrupted measurement of volume flow and mass, density and temperature –  even at very difficult process conditions with 2-phase flow.

  • Ultrasonic Flow Meters - Clamp-On

    The SITRANS FS230 digital clamp-on ultrasonic flow meter is a process-optimizing solution for measuring flow in virtually any liquid application. The FS230 is an ideal fit for many industries requiring high-quality liquid flow measurement.
