Drinking Water Case Studies and White Papers

1. AFC SEMPER RPM Used To Study New Fairfield, California Transmission Line 9/9/2021

   In March 2021, the city of Fairfield, California’s Water Division was tasked with commissioning a new 36-inch Cross Town Transmission Line (CTTL). The CTTL will enhance the already robust distribution system and better serve the water needs of the Water Division’s 33,000 customers. This new CTTL, however, will change the dynamics of the city’s current distribution system. To better understand how the new CTTL would affect operations, the AMERICAN Flow Control SEMPER Remote Pressure Monitor (RPM) was deployed to strategic points throughout the system.

2. Measurement & Control Technologies: Essential Tools For Sustainable Water And Wastewater Operations 6/25/2025

   Accurate measurement and control technologies are essential for achieving sustainability in water and wastewater operations by reducing energy use, minimizing losses, and optimizing chemical dosing.

3. Case Study: Saudi Arabian Airport Successfully Uses Aquatech's Seawater Reverse Osmosis System 7/23/2010
   India’s first Ultra Mega Power Project (UMPP) at Mundra in Coastal Gujarat, a 4,000 MW coal fired plant, is owned by Coastal Gujarat Power Limited (CGPL), a Tata Power group company.
4. Niederzeuzheim WWTP Case Study 12/22/2011
   The villages of Oberzeuzheim and Niederzeuzheim, Germany are served by the Niederzeuzheim wastewater treatment plant. The plant was originally designed as a nitrification facility for a population of approximately 3,000.
5. AMERICAN Flow Control Answers The Call 5/3/2016

   In late March 2016, an estimated 60-foot wide by 35-foot deep sinkhole developed in Tarpon Springs, Florida, leading to the evacuation of several homes. The sinkhole engulfed part of a nearby road and damaged two sewer lines and a water line.

6. AMERICAN Flow Control SEMPER® RPM Provides Critical Help For Birmingham Water Works 4/11/2022

   In October 2021, the Birmingham Water Works (BWW) in Birmingham, Alabama, discovered a broken water main in one of its city centers. Read the full case study to see how SEMPER RPM provided critical help.

7. A Collaborative Leakage Project With Anglian Water 2/18/2022

   With an aging distribution network becoming ever-more prone to leaks and bursts, it is clear utilities cannot continue to do what they have always done. Industrial IoT is reshaping the landscape.

8. Stormwater Modeling To Prepare For Biological And Radiological Emergencies 9/17/2024

   Stormwater can transport pollutants, such as heavy metals, pathogens, and nutrients, which threaten the quality of rivers, lakes, and oceans. Many stormwater operators have not considered or planned for the challenges in predicting and mitigating transport of biological agents (e.g., anthrax-causing bacterium) or long-lasting radionuclides (e.g., cesium-137) that may result from a terrorist attack.

9. Mitigating Capital Upgrades To A Wastewater Treatment Plant Using DNA Sequencing 1/28/2020

   A municipal wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) was planning to carry out an expensive capital upgrade to improve treatment performance and bring the plant into compliance. A study was done to determine if alternative solutions to the upgrade could be found.

10. Shedding Light On Buried Infrastructure Management 7/22/2020

    A longstanding U.S. EPA document on management challenges and strategies relating to the deterioration of buried drinking water infrastructure raises issues that are still very relevant today. Here are multiple thought-provoking perspectives on how to address those issues today, in order to protect both the investment in existing infrastructure and the health of the populations they serve.
