Tapping Into Big Savings With More Accurate Polymer Measurement
5/4/2021
Polymers, especially flocculants and other thickeners, can be a major headache for drinking water and wastewater treatment plant managers. Power costs aside, buying polymer often represents the biggest expense of the treatment train. Not only are polymers pricey, but their high level of viscosity also presents a challenge to reliable measurement in varying conditions and at different levels of demand.

Advantages And Disadvantages Of Available Options For Measuring Wastewater Flow In Partially Filled Pipes
4/8/2021
A variety of devices can be used for measuring water or wastewater flow where pipes cannot be kept full. Examples include open channel flow (OCF) devices like flumes and weirs in combination with secondary level measurement devices and/or electromagnetic flow (EMF) meter options. Each has its pluses and minuses. However, new proven EMF technology can deliver higher accuracy and the best performance when sized for flow rates at levels above 25 percent filled pipe. It also offers a safer environment, simpler installation, and better measuring performance than other available options.

The Key To Accurate Waste Gas Flow Measurement
4/20/2020
Wastewater treatment facilities have a tremendous opportunity to utilize the biogas they generate to lower energy costs and minimize odors. However, the practice isn’t as widespread as it could be, as the precision gas flow and methane content readings required to optimize the process often clash with the misconception that biogas is messy and difficult to measure reliably. With the proper equipment, it is possible to accurately measure biogas to cut emissions and reduce or eliminate the energy bill.

The Reasons Behind The Wide Array Of Liner And Electrode Choices In Magnetic Flow Meters
4/14/2020
Electromagnetic flow meters offer significant benefits in water, wastewater, and industrial applications because they can be reliably used to measure liquid with many different characteristics. Since these devices contain no moving parts, making them virtually maintenance-free, they are becoming the workhorse for a growing number of utilities and industrial operations. Despite the advantages, however, electromagnetic flow meters are often avoided based on the misconception that there are limitations on what they can measure.
