Drinking Water Case Studies and White Papers

1. Evaluation Of Ceralite-A As An Alternative To Anthracite Filter Media 5/25/2018

   The Golden Heart WTP located in Fairbanks Alaska is a lime softened, ground water treatment plant with five filter basins, with a combined surface area of 1495 ft² . Typical filter loading rates are in the 2.3 –to 3.1 gpm/ft²

2. Valve Health Diagnostics 1/20/2021

   Valves are one of the most common assets in the process industry, spanning all verticals. Chemicals, refineries, and petrochemicals, however, will find improved valve health diagnostics useful for critical valves and controllers in their plants, while upstream and midstream oil and gas companies may be focused on much larger, critical valves like pipeline or subsea valves. Using Seeq, process manufacturers are able to implement a condition-based monitoring analysis to monitor valve health across an entire fleet. Engineers can utilize the historical data to accurately create a predictive maintenance forecast and preemptively detect valve failures before they occur.

3. ABB Technology Further Strengthens Singapore's Water Security 10/1/2021

   Singapore is using desalination as part of the solution to their water supply issue in order to provide enough clean drinking water for its ever-growing population of 5.5 million.

4. Conversion From Gas To Liquid Disinfection Yields Significant Improved Water Quality And Cost Savings 8/15/2018

   In 2006, the Greenwood, South Carolina Commissioners of Public Works became only the fourth U.S. water utility ever to receive Phase IV “Excellence in Water Treatment” recognition from the Partnership for Safe Water. Phase IV is the highest possible level of performance that can be achieved in the Partnership program and signifies optimized plant performance.

5. Simplified Testing For BPA In Source Water 6/20/2019

   Testing for BPAs that may have found their way into drinking water sources has traditionally been cumbersome and expensive, so municipalities could be exposing their customers to unsafe levels. The good news is that newer advancements are making it easier to use existing technologies to monitor for the pollutant.

6. Why Remote System Management Is The Key To Resiliency 9/6/2020

   It is increasingly difficult for municipal water utilities to provide seamless operations. Community growth, changing regulations, aging infrastructure, and extreme events are just a few of the challenges that need to be met. Remotely managing the key functions of water, wastewater, and stormwater operations in this rapidly evolving landscape — with the ability to act based on deep insights — underpins resiliency and creates a smart utility network.

7. Treating Micropollutants With UV In Drinking Water - PWN, Netherlands (Case Study) 3/14/2007

   PWN Water Supply Company, North Holland is currently operating a TrojanUVSwift™ECT UV-oxidation system to provide an additional barrier to micropollutants at their plant in Andijk, the Netherlands

8. Repairing A Cracked Coupling In Under Five Minutes And Without A Service Disruption 7/17/2023

   Read about a utility that was looking for a quick, cost-effective yet resilient solution that would prevent the disruption of water service to the community and environment.

9. Article: Validation Of Online Monitors Using EPA 334.0 And EPA-Approved Or Accepted Laboratory Meter Reporting Methods 8/25/2010
   There has long been verification testing between lab and online instrumentation for water quality measurements, especially for Drinking Water and Wastewater (DW//WW). By Jane L. Stevens, Product Manager, Thermo Fisher Scientific
10. Sensor Technology For Control Of Activated Sludge Aeration 7/19/2013

    Design routines and operation strategies for activated sludge aeration systems have traditionally been based on manual control. By Robert Smith, P.E., BCEE, Ph.D., YSI
