  1. AI For Industrial Process Control (Part 2): Model Predictive Control Deep Dive 11/15/2020

    So far, we’ve covered the fundamentals of process control. We reviewed how PID controllers work, discussed their limitations and introduced the concept of predictive control. In this article, we’ll explore how MPC controllers work in more detail.

  2. Grit’s True Impact On Wastewater Treatment Quality And Costs 11/11/2020

    Grit buildup that is ignored or improperly addressed can have profound effects on both treatment efficiency and maintenance costs, even if it does not impact effluent quality. Here are some of the cost implications and physical effects of inefficient grit removal, along with some important considerations on the impacts of letting grit go unmanaged.

  3. The Reality Of Leaks: Cost-Effective Strategies For Real Water Loss Recovery 11/11/2020

    Reducing water loss starts with proper perspective. In distribution systems that do not yet have permanent infrastructure monitoring for active leaks, even the approach to evaluating such infrastructure requires a new perspective. Here is how different technical approaches can make a difference, regardless of the age of the system or the pipe materials it uses.

  4. What’s Next For Digital Twins? Why 2021 Will Require Water Intelligence. 11/10/2020

    Digital Twins have changed the way water professionals (engineers, plant operators, asset managers, utility executives) approach infrastructure management. Those involved in digital transformation initiatives are no strangers to the benefits the Digital Twins can provide. In fact, Innovyze has been in the business of facilitating utility adoption of water Digital Twins for nearly 40 years.

  5. How Robust UV Disinfection Systems Bolster Flood Resilience 11/9/2020

    Globally, flooding is the most common and costliest of natural disasters. In the U.S., that has translated into record numbers of storms making landfall with effects reaching far beyond coastal regions, and the problem is only going to get worse. To help communities address the growing risk, the U.S. EPA has published guidance for water utilities to boost their flood resilience. UV disinfection systems that are designed to remain underwater for extended periods contribute significantly to this goal.

  6. Maximum Security With The Space-saving SPIRALIFT® SLV 11/9/2020

    Due to the waste from the Northeast Correctional Facility, Alliance Water Resources, the wastewater treatment plant in Bowling Green, Missouri, was constantly having problems. The prison, which produces 300,000 gallons of water per day, was creating a deluge of problems for the pump station, including clogged and plugged pumps, excessive power draw and the need for continuous service and ultimate pump replacement. The inmates were flushing paper, jumpsuits, and all manner of debris – pretty much anything they could flush. It was costing the plant a lot of downtime and tons of money. Once the pumps started needing total replacements on a very frequent basis, costing the plant more than $30,000 each year, they knew they needed a solution.

  7. Insta-Valve 250 Helps Stop Leak While Maintaining Service To Industrial Park 11/9/2020

    The Insta-Valve 250 provided targeted shutdown without impacting service to a nearby industrial park.

  8. Screenmaster® CS Bar Screen Helps Township Weather The Stormwater 11/8/2020

    When the township of Little Ferry, New Jersey constructed a new bridge, it created a big problem. The bridge, constructed at a traffic circle in town, created changes to the road that left a drainage pond below the water level of the Hackensack River. The problematic effect this had was immediate as local neighborhoods were flooded on a regular basis.

  9. Super Shredder To The Rescue 11/7/2020

    The City of Scotts Valley sewage treatment plant was having a very tough and frequent problem with their scum pump. This screw pump would rag up monthly, forcing the operators to take it apart and use large wrenches to manually turn the pump to remove the clogged rags and wipes. This was not a sustainable operating model and it was costing the city a lot of time, manpower and money, not to mention causing a lot of frustration.

  10. TASKMASTER® TITAN® To The Rescue In Picturesque, Cobleskill, New York 11/6/2020

    The wastewater treatment plant in picturesque Cobleskill, New York, was unable to process the wastewater generated by the town’s 4,678 year- round residents. The buildup of plastics, rags, trash wrappings and other debris was regularly clogging the system, necessitating frequent cleanings.
