  4. Versatility Of Thermal Mass Flow Meters 3/10/2014

    There are many well documented flow meter technologies that are essentially trying to accomplish the same thing: measure fluid flow rate. Some of the technologies that are entrenched in the market, such as flow meters that utilize differential pressure as the measurement principle, are well understood by customers. Thermal mass flow meters however, such as the Magnetrol® Thermatel® TA2, are a rapidly growing technology that is continuously evolving.

  5. Simple And Smart: How Radio-Read Meters Are Improving Meter Reading 4/22/2020

    When Hank Zwart took over as director of public works in 2014, the city was in the initial phases of installing a walkby system that was eight-year-old technology. Knowing this older metering technology is not the best way forward, Zwart and the City of Prescott decided to implement the latest AMR technology that supports future migration to AMI. To meet this goal, City of Prescott chose Kamstrup’s READy AMR system.

  6. How Instrumentation Powers The Circular Water Economy 3/6/2024

    The Circular Water Economy is built on the so-called six Rs: "Reduce," "Reuse," "Recycle," "Reclaim," "Recover," and "Restore". The six elements represent different strategies aimed at sustainable water management and conservation.  

  7. 'Smart Water' Benefits Without 'Big Data' Intimidation 3/31/2020

    For water treatment plants (WTPs) and wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) pressured to do more with their data despite being pinched by a tight budget and a need to retrain employees, a new strategy can make all the difference. Here is how one such approach makes ‘smart water’ analytics less intimidating and how it has helped one utility make more cost-effective decisions while saving precious time and money.

  8. LCRI: A Shift To Mandatory Service Line Replacement Within 10 Years 11/8/2024

    Mandatory LSL replacement is a fundamental shift from the LCR in its approach to service line replacement, moving from a trigger-based approach to a mandatory, system-wide replacement mandate.
