  1. The Instrumentation Life-Cycle And Instrumentation Systems Within The UK Water Industry: From Concept To Replacement 1/12/2016

    The water industry in the UK faces a turning point in the use of instrumentation with the advent of TOTEX (capital expenditures [CAPEX] + operating expenditures [OPEX]) within the current Asset Management Period, the sixth since it privatized in 1989.

  2. Source Water Protection: There's An App For That 12/21/2015

    In Oregon, a mobile toolkit helps promote healthy ecosystems and protect community drinking water.

  3. Indefensible Data: The Thread That Can Quickly Unravel 12/18/2015

    Not all data is good data. Businesses know this — or at least should — and it effects how they make decisions about sales, marketing and R&D.

  4. Monitoring Water Quality With UVC LEDs 11/2/2015

    Rapid detection of changes in water quality is critical in water delivery systems, wastewater treatment, and industrial plants for process optimization, environmental regulatory requirements, and consumer health.

  5. Measuring Innovation: Water Quality Analytics Startups To Watch 9/14/2015

    In an industry with more than its share of startup tech companies, Lux Research identifies innovators in water quality analytics that are poised to make a splash.

  6. Monitoring The Future With The Latest Sensor Tech 9/8/2015

    Doctors have their stethoscopes, plumbers have their wrenches, and accountants have their calculators. More often than we would care to admit, professionals are only as good as their tools. For water utilities, staying on top of water quality means taking advantage of the cutting edge in sensor technologies.

  7. The Most Misunderstood Fact Behind Dissolved Oxygen Sensors (It's The Pressure, Not The Concentration) 8/5/2015

    A dissolved oxygen sensor ought to be simple to understand. Whether it is membrane or optically based, it gives a signal that is proportional to the concentration of oxygen concentration in water.

  8. Lightning Fast Response Prevents Extended Down Time 7/29/2015

    The City of Gordon Texas’s drinking water facility was struck by lightning. Thinking long term, and desiring the latest technology available, the City took this opportunity to upgrade their on-line instrumentation with a range of new continuous monitoring on-line instruments including chlorine analyzers, pH monitoring, temperature monitoring, and turbidity monitoring.

  9. Turbiwell Comparision Report Before And After Upgrade 7/29/2015

    Russellville water treatment plant is a surface water plant using traditional clarification, filtration, and treatment. The plant historically has used traditional contact turbidimeters that employ tungsten lamps that required quarterly maintenance, but replaced their turbidimeters with Swan Turbiwell turbidimeters in 2012. Read the full report for a comparison of the performance of the Swan Turbiwell to the previously installed turbidimeters.

  10. Utah Water District Saves Time And Resources, Improves Accuracy By Upgrading Sensors And Analyzers 7/20/2015

    Monitoring chlorine and fluoride levels in the drinking water of Utah’s Taylorsville-Bennion Improvement District used to be expensive, labor intensive, and often sensitive to interference from the vari­able frequency drives used to operate the chlorine injection pumps. That is, until the district upgraded to Rosemount free chlorine and fluoride sen­sors and analyzers from Emerson.
