Drinking Water Case Studies and White Papers

  1. What The Industry Is Saying About The EPA Contaminant Candidate List 5 9/28/2021

    It is assumed that most individuals involved in the advocacy, treatment, and regulation of drinking water in the U.S. have similar opinions on the importance of delivering clean, safe drinking water. But determining how regulatory steps regarding daily practices at water treatment plants (WTPs) should evolve tends to reveal some differences in opinion. Here are some recent industry reactions to the proposed Drinking Water Contaminant Candidate List 5 (CCL 5).

  2. Why Reliable Communication Is Key To The Future Of Water 9/22/2022

    A reliable communications network must have robustness, redundancy, reconnaissance, and resiliency. This article will explain what this means, why it matters, and the necessary steps to build one.

  3. Monitor Cooling Tower Water Consumption Accurately, Without Disruption 4/9/2020

    Operations that want to track cooling tower water use accurately in 24/7 applications — without having to disrupt processes to install a new meter — need options that are easy to retrofit into continuous operations. Here’s how they can achieve + 0.5 percent flow meter accuracy without compromising cooling tower availability, by employing full-profile insertion (FPI) electromagnetic flow meters (mag meters) with hot-tap installation capabilities.

  4. How Artificial Intelligence And Machine Learning Will Underpin Asset Management Of The Future 12/7/2020

    Aging infrastructure is by far the most recognized challenge for municipal water systems. In many places across the country, pipes and valves have been in the ground for more than 50 years. While this has led to a dramatic increase in failures, the typical municipality only has the budget to repair about 1% of its distribution system assets in any year. That’s where newer artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) solutions can play an outsized role.

  5. 5 Tips On Avoiding Murphy's Law With Big Pipe Repairs 2/19/2021

    Here is one example of how challenging a 36”-line repair can become, plus five guidelines to help decision-makers minimize the risks of the same happening to them.

  6. EPA Researchers Partner With The Minnesota Department of Health To Screen For Chemicals Of Health Concern In Water 6/7/2023

    There are many different chemicals that are released into our environment, and the ability to characterize human exposure and risk of every one of those chemicals is limited. Because information about these chemicals and their sources is limited, it’s difficult to know which chemicals are of highest concern, and regulatory agencies struggle to determine where they should focus efforts.

  7. Stop 3 Water Loss Thieves Cold With Analytics 10/20/2023

    Learn how water utilities can reduce apparent and real water losses by including analytics as an integral component of AMI strategy. 

  8. Memosens 2.0: Cutting-Edge Sensor Technology Reloaded 8/3/2021

    Memosens technology converts the measured value to a digital signal and transfers it inductively to the transmitter. With signal alarms in the event of transmission disruption, Memosens offers safe data transfer for increased availability of the measuring point and trouble-free processes. With Memosens 2.0, measuring points become completely future-proof and ready for IIoT.

  9. The "Design For Autonomous Net-Zero Water Buildings" Project Funded By NSF 8/24/2015

    The students at the University of Miami will know firsthand the importance of rethinking the way we handle wastewater and water with a Net-Zero water treatment system on site.   The project showed the viability and feasibility to take buildings off the water grid to provide water recycling and how it can be achieved without raising the cost of high quality water.

  10. Early Leak Detection Made Simple With Underground Acoustic Leak-Detection 10/19/2023

    In 2017, Orlando residents saw firsthand the negative effects of what could happen when a construction crew caused a major water main break downtown. Not only did the leak become an inconvenience for the city, but it also was expensive to repair.
