Drinking Water Case Studies and White Papers

81. Listening For — And Finding — The Leaks That Can't Be Seen 6/23/2021

    Decades ago, farmers and ranchers around San Marcos, Texas, formed a utility to get water to cattle. Today, Crystal Clear Special Utility District (CCSUD) serves not only rural operations but swaths of a growing metropolis stretching from San Antonio to Austin, providing water to nearly 6,000 connections.

82. AMA Improves Accuracy And Customer Service For Texas City 2/24/2016

    After deployment of an AMI system that didn’t work properly, initially forcing them to manually read meters, Highland Village was in need of a new vendor and product they could count on. Enter Badger Meter and the BEACON® AMA managed solution, with ORION® Cellular endpoints.

83. What Is PFAS? 2/21/2020

    PFOA (perfluorooctanic acid) and PFOS (perflurooctane sulfonate) are organic synthetic chemicals that have been used in manufacturing a multitude of industrial and consumer-based products including coatings, carpeting, and fire-fighting foams. Over several decades, they have contaminated the environment, specifically our drinking water sources, causing significant health concerns that recently prompted the EPA to take action.

84. Know Your Options For Mag Meter Installation Cost, Care, And Calibration 7/2/2019

    Electromagnetic meters (mag meters) are well established in terms of highly accurate performance for a variety of municipal and industrial water applications. Differences in their construction formats, however, dictate how easy they can be to install, maintain, and calibrate. Compare these three options to see the value of full-profile-insertion (FPI) mag meters and their associated advantages in real-world use.

85. Real-Time Heavy Metal Monitoring For Oil & Gas 3/25/2021

    Large, distributed water networks are not well-suited for conventional water monitoring processes which rely on manual sampling and lab testing. In particular, this midstream oil and gas company had a need to detect Iron, Selenium, and other heavy metals at a precise level comparable to a lab. In addition, it wasn’t feasible to manually test the entire water system at the requisite frequency. Finally, instrument reliability and unplanned downtime were an issue.

86. Specifying Performance Over Equipment Quickly Reduces THMs In The Colorado Springs' Distribution System 12/21/2023

    Colorado Springs, Colorado, enjoys some of the highest quality drinking water in the country, with most of its water coming from high country snowmelt. Despite its pristine origin in the mountains, the water at the far end of the distribution system is prone to developing trihalomethanes (THMs) due to low turnover and high water age.

87. How Calibration Impacts Flow Meter Performance 7/12/2018

    Utility managers and operators rely on flow meters to provide critical information for process monitoring and control. They require and fully expect the flow data to be accurate and reproducible.

88. The Importance Of Pool Water Quality 3/6/2024

    Palintest is pleased to announce that Lumsio Pooltest 6 and Lumiso Pooltest 3 are now National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) and American National Standards Institute (ANSI) certified

89. Four Tips For A Successful PFAS Removal Pilot Study 8/11/2023

    Follow these key steps to conduct a successful pilot study to help remain below their target contaminant limits and cost-effectively comply with regulations.

90. Understand RF Propagation Of AMR/AMI Systems 9/19/2013

    Most Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) systems installed in utilities use radio frequency (RF) communication. RF communication is also used for two-way radios, wireless supervisory control, data acquisition (SCADA) systems, office wireless networks, routers and cell phones.
