  1. Gas vs. Liquid Measurement: A New Phase Of H2S Management 5/31/2022

    For many aspects of wastewater collection and treatment, there can be multiple routes to achieving desired results. In the case of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) measurement, an exclusive sensor that is equally accurate in liquid-phase and gas-phase measurements has created entirely new ways to assess hydrogen sulfide concerns. Here is how that offers wastewater professionals more cost-effective opportunities for measuring and managing their H2S issues.

  2. How Liquid-Phase H2S Monitoring Can Reduce WWTP Risk And Corrosion 5/30/2022

    At their best, wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) can include hostile environments. At worst, they can be deadly if workers are exposed to hydrogen sulfide gas that collects in confined spaces. Between those two extremes is a wide range of cost and performance circumstances that can be drastically impacted by accurately monitoring changes in wastewater composition that trigger fluctuating levels of hydrogen sulfide (H2S).

  3. Using Liquid-Phase H2S Measurement To Protect Sewer Networks And Workers 5/29/2022

    While the estimated service life of steel-reinforced concrete pipe carrying stormwater can be 100 years, sanitary sewer networks have a lot more working against them. Here are multiple considerations for using liquid-phase measurements to quantify hydrogen sulfide (H2S) concentrations more consistently, identify potential threats to worker health and infrastructure longevity, and support better strategies for mitigating those risks.

  4. The Latest Asset Management Software Helps Seattle Public Utilities Plan Ahead 5/24/2022

    SPU is forward thinking, with a desire to be more proactive in their pipe inspection rather than reactive with emergency response. Through a concerted effort, SPU developed a strategy for pipe inspection, condition evaluation, risk assessment, capital investment, and implementation planning.

  5. Machine Learning: What Water Utilities Can Learn From The Power Industry 5/23/2022

    The combination of water scarcity and aging infrastructure is pushing water utilities to use machine learning analytic software to predict demand patterns and develop long-term investment plans.

  6. Digital Adoption Made Easy With The Sentryx™ Water Intelligence Platform & IoT Infrastructure 5/20/2022

    Sentryx is a digital services platform for water utilities to monitor, control, operate, and monetize water distribution networks. It is easy to use with intuitive dashboards and powerful mapping and data visualizations.

  7. How IoT Could Open The Floodgates To Innovative Water Management Projects 5/5/2022

    As the water industry continues to adopt more high-tech and data-centric solutions, it is important to consider the communications infrastructure that supports such investments.

  8. Protecting The Environment And Reducing Cost Through Improved Sludge Quality 4/13/2022

    Sassuolo WWTP operators noticed high levels of zinc in generated sludge. Here is how Kando helped prevent metal contamination, allowing the sludge to be applied for agriculture.

  9. Improve Your Rate Case With Automation 4/7/2022

    With manual design methods utilities can only assess a small selection of options when preparing for a rate case. 

  10. The Top 5 Uncertainties Of Utility Master Planning 4/5/2022

    When undertaking any new venture or revising a plan of action, it is important first to identify the uncertainties and potential pitfalls. By understanding the potential trouble issues, you can better set realistic goals and manage expectations around project time and budgets, software selection, and design flows.
