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.

  • MD50 Chlorine Colorimeter, LR/HR

    The MD50 Chlorine LR/HR Colorimeter combines a simple user interface with advanced optics to deliver the accurate and reliable results municipal and industrial users require - and packs a lot of features into a rugged, hand-held instrument. 

  • Determination Of Hexanal In Foods Utilizing Dynamic Headspace

    Hexanal is one of many well-documented aromatic components that contribute to flavor and aroma in common consumer food products containing omega-6 fatty acids. Hexanal content is also used to measure the oxidative status of foods rich in omega-6 fatty acids.

  • UltrapenX2™ PTBT5 Bluetooth® Enabled Dissolved Oxygen (DO) & Temperature Pen

    The PTBT5 is a lab-accurate water quality pocket tester that allows you to use your mobile device and the X2 app to measure, store and export data.

  • OPTIFLUX 1300 Electromagnetic Flowmeter

    The OPTIFLUX 1300 is an electromagnetic flowmeter (EMF) with lightweight wafer-style design. The meter is an economical solution for applications with conductive liquids (≥ 5 μS/cm) and higher solid content (up to 70%). Unlike the OPTIFLUX 1100, the OPTIFLUX 1300 offers a better accuracy. The flowmeter already meets the demands of many applications in various industries. It has established itself as the preferred solution for OEM machinery applications, dosing systems, compact skids, chemical handling systems or pump and firefighting systems.

  • Improved Efficiencies In TOC Wastewater Analysis For Standard Method 5310B And EPA Method 415 Total organic carbon (TOC) measurement is of vital importance to the operation of water treatment due to organic compounds comprising a large group of water pollutants. TOC has been around for many years, and although it is a relatively simple analysis in theory, operational efficiency is paramount.
