FEATURED ARTICLES

Supplemental Dissolved Oxygen

The use of hydrogen peroxide to supply supplemental dissolved oxygen (DO) to activated sludge and other biological treatment systems is well documented and has been successfully practiced for decades.

Reducing Water Loss With Continuous Monitoring Sensors

In this case study, discover how continuous monitoring provided holistic network visibility, enabling proactive maintenance and preventing potential water pressure issues.

Applications Where Variable Area Flow Meters Deliver Value And Performance

Learn why variable area flow meters are the technology of choice where simple, dependable performance and cost advantages are important.

Enhancing Leak Detection With Remote Pressure Monitoring

Remote pressure monitoring is increasingly being implemented by progressive water utilities, both large and small, to get better visibility into their distribution systems. This results in lower operating costs and reduced stress on their aging pipe networks.

Safety, Savings, Synergy: The Aquana-Itron Partnership Reshaping Utilities

In the ever-evolving realm of smart water solutions, Aquana's AquaFlex Actuator Valve (AVS) emerges as a transformative force, promising heightened operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness for water utilities. This American-designed and manufactured remote water shutoff valve, seamlessly integrated into Itron’s AMI network, is poised to reshape the landscape of utility operations.

Smart Meters: From Billing To Guardians Of Our Water Supply

By leveraging the data that meters provide, we can move from reactive repairs to a proactive approach, safeguarding our precious water resources and ensuring a more sustainable future.

BlueConduit Recommendations For EPA's Lead And Copper Rule Improvements (LCRI)

Complying with the U.S. EPA's Lead and Copper Rule Improvements is a major lift for water systems. Here are some recommendations to increase the efficiency and ease of these compliance efforts.

Advancing Pet Food Manufacturing Wastewater Treatment

To help you select the best wastewater treatment plan for pet food manufacturing applications — whether to meet local pretreatment regulations or promote more sustainable treatment practices — this paper provides a helpful overview of the types of contaminants you will encounter and describes the different solutions available to ensure you achieve required effluent regulations.

The Ripple Effect: A Digitalization Playbook

As the water sector takes on the escalating challenges of accessibility, affordability, and resilience against climate change, digital solutions have demonstrated the potential to transform water systems.

Improve Operational Efficiency And Capital Improvement Program Management

The City of Grand Rapids, MI sought out a partner to take responsibility for the operation and maintenance of the monitoring network including hardware, software, and data preparation.

Double Belts, Double Suspenders: How El Paso Is Implementing Direct Potable Reuse

The city of El Paso, TX, has always known that water is precious. After its public utility, El Paso Water, previously piloted a direct potable reuse (DPR) plant to turn agricultural irrigation wastewater into drinking water, the city is now ready to begin construction of a full-scale, 10-MGD DPR facility.

Machine Learning And The Future Of Water Quality Monitoring

Machine learning is transforming how we monitor and manage water quality. At the forefront of this innovation are soft sensors — not physical devices, but intelligent algorithms that predict slow or expensive-to-measure water quality variables using readily-available data. This breakthrough is reducing monitoring costs and enabling more adaptive treatment processes.
