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.

  • Active Energy Control – Energy Reductions Of Up To 10% Above Standard Drives

    Energy costs continue to increase. At the same time, there is increased pressure to reduce utility bills without sacrificing operations or comfort.

  • FLUXUS ADM 5107 Water Flowmeter

    The FLUXUS ADM 5107 is FLEXIM's solution for many flow metering applications found in the water and wastewater sector and adjacent industries. As FLEXIMs basic and economic alternative, the ADM 5107 offers the same benefits in terms of accuracy and reliability as its bigger brothers, the FLUXUS ADM 7407 and ADM 8027.

  • 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.
  • Determining Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) With Lovibond® OxiDirect

    The Biochemical Oxygen Demand over a testing period of n days (BODn) is precisely defined and associated with experimental standards. It represents the quantity of oxygen aspirated in the course of aerobic breakdown of organic substances by microorganisms.

  • NP6000sc Phosphate Analyzer

    The Hach® NP6000sc Phosphate Analyzer offers dependable and accurate measurement to meet regulatory requirements, maintain process control, and reduce operational costs. Designed for wastewater facilities, the NP6000sc features straightforward installation, simple maintenance, and optimized cleaning cycles that help you save time while maximizing uptime.
