Drinking Water Case Studies and White Papers

1. Why Your Water Utility Should Be Using Hydraulic Modeling 9/13/2022

   Hydraulic modeling offers a vast range of benefits such as improving system performance, long-term infrastructure planning, predicting and anticipating demographic changes, and more.

2. Achieving Better Visibility With Less Work Through Software As A Service 9/21/2021

   Operating a water treatment and distribution system is difficult enough on its own, but the job gets even more complex for utility managers struggling to harness their metering data. 

3. Down-To-Earth Non-Revenue Water Strategies 1/30/2019

   Non-revenue water (NRW) and, in particular, water loss through leakage has become an increasing priority focus for water utilities around the world.  With failure rates of aging infrastructure increasing and growing water stress due to population growth and climate change, reducing the loss of essential water resources is paramount.  Leak monitoring and detection systems from Trimble Water help water utilities proactively identify and reduce NRW and water loss, prevent service outages, and prioritize infrastructure repairs. Easy-to-use wireless and mobile leak detection solutions provide clear, accurate, real-time insights into the condition of the water network beyond the treatment plant.  Paired with Trimble’s intuitive cloud-based GIS software, Trimble’s solutions make it simple for water professionals to visualize, manage, and analyze data from the field and use that knowledge to improve productivity and network performance.

4. Monitoring WTP Ozone Use With Maximum Cost-Efficiency 4/29/2019

   The value of ozone as a disinfection agent is well understood in water treatment plants (WTPs). So too, is its cost. Getting maximum value from an ozone investment requires accurate measurement to assure proper disinfection levels without wasteful overuse of the precious gas. Here are multiple ways thermal dispersion mass flow meters deliver precise readings with lower installation and maintenance costs.

5. Deploying Iron-Based Adsorption Systems For More Efficient Arsenic Removal 11/4/2020

   Anion exchange treatment technologies produce a brine/contaminant discharge, while reverse osmosis solutions generate a concentrated arsenic reject. By comparison, the only cost of a properly designed iron-based adsorption system is periodic media changeout.

6. Case Study: Continuous Monitoring Safeguards Malaysia’s Water Quality 11/14/2007

   Well on the way to becoming a total environmental monitoring solutions provider, Alam Sekitar Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. has applied its expertise in air and water quality monitoring to aid the Malaysian government in safeguarding the nation's water supply. A broad contract between ASMA and Malaysia's Department of the Environment partners the two entities in a highly efficient system that gathers long-term trend data on water quality while also maintaining an early warning system to alert officials and water treatment operators of pollution discharges in key reaches of the country's river system

7. Membrane Module Pilot Test In North Dakota 10/11/2017

   Toray UF membrane modules were piloted over a fifteen-week period to help service the growing demand for clean water in southwest North Dakota. The outcome, as part of the Southwest Pipeline Project (SWPP), would be construction of the Oliver-Mercer-North Dunn (OMND) Water Treatment Plant.

8. Advanced Metering Analytics And Hi-Res Ultrasonic Meters Create A Winning Combination 2/9/2015

   When Waterworks District 3 of Beauregard Parish, La., began to research new water meters to replace its aging system, it didn’t take long to decide that the BEACON SaaS managed solution was the right fit.

9. Omaha Municipal Utility District 5/19/2023

   Despite the large capital costs invested in a new pressurized CO2 feed system – a competing product to BlueInGreen’s supersaturated carbon dioxide gas-dissolution (CDOX®) technology — facility managers were unsatisfied with its performance

10. Non-Revenue Water - Understanding And Working Proactively With Non-Revenue Water 4/27/2020

    Non-Revenue Water is a well-known global problem that results in large volumes of water being lost. It is a very real challenge faced by the majority of water utilities as a consequence of increased urbanization, higher demand, increased prices and aging distribution networks.
