41. AI for Process Control Series (Part 1) — Introduction To Control Strategies 10/31/2020

    Over the past few decades, the “digital revolution” has enabled manufacturers and utilities to equip their plants with distributed and supervisory control systems. Whether its industrial membranes or biological reactors, these control systems lie at the heart of heavy industry automation and enable companies to read, interpret, and use their own machine-generated data to achieve production and compliance targets. Yet despite their universality, these control systems are only recently starting to garner attention as potential candidates for disruption by artificial intelligence (AI). Using AI for process control, can significantly streamline data processing and empower operators with enhanced decision-support.

42. New Release: InfoWater Pro 3.0 10/30/2020

    InfoWater Pro is a GIS-integrated water distribution modeling package. The newly released InfoWater Pro 3.0 offers many new functionalities that improve user productivity building and managing their model, as well as capability that encourages collaboration.

43. Ultrasonic Meter Maintains Moisture Control In Fiberboard Dual Plate Refiner 10/29/2020

    A large manufacturer of medium density fiberboard (MDF) products required an accurate and reliable solution for monitoring water flow into a wood chip dual plate refiner, which shears wood chips into fine sawdust pulp. Read more to learn how the QCT Series flow meter is an accurate, reliable and cost-effective flow measurement device for these types of applications.

44. Inactivation Of SARS-CoV-2 Virus With Preservation Buffer B 10/28/2020

    Read the full white paper to learn how testing was performed to confirm that the Preservation B reagent used in LuminUltra® SARS-CoV-2 Environmental Monitoring Kits inactivates the SARS-COV-2 virus to ensure safe handling of samples throughout the assay.

45. Monitoring Strategies For Controlling Legionella Growth In Water Systems 10/28/2020

    Legionella is a genus of bacteria that are found widely in aquatic environments, particularly in constructed water systems with warm temperatures. These bacteria are known for causing Legionnaire’s Disease and Pontiac Fever. This whitepaper focuses on monitoring strategies that can be used as a component of a water management plan for controlling Legionella growth in various types of water systems (cooling towers, hot water, potable water, etc.) and reducing associated risks.

46. Legionella: The “Quiet Pandemic" 10/28/2020

    Over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is likely that many people have forgotten about Legionella, which has been described as a “quiet pandemic” by legislators in the United States. While the focus of many government health authorities has been to react to and reduce the impact of COVID-19, the many stay at home orders issued, and the increase in employees working from home has been ideal for Legionella bacteria present in cooling towers in commercial systems.

47. Using ATP To Rapidly Identify Sources Of Microbial Contamination In An Electrodeposition Coating Process 10/28/2020

    An automotive manufacturer in Europe had been experiencing issues associated with recurring microbial contamination of its electrodeposition (ED) coating bath, which can cause pitting in the undercoat and require manual polishing. A single contamination event could require manual repairs to hundreds of cars at a cost of tens of thousands of Euros (€).

48. Using ATP And NGS To Monitor Nitrification 10/28/2020

    China Steel Corporation, a steel producer in Taiwan, produces wastewater that is high in organics, ammonia, solids, and other waste products. The wastewater is treated on-site using a series of biological treatment processes. The variable influent quality can make it challenging to meet treatment objectives.

49. IoT in Water — 4 Ways To Make Sense Of Your Data 10/28/2020

    Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of devices, data, and other technological features to run any operation more intuitively with minimal manual intrusion. IoT has gradually spread across everyday life and the commercial landscape. The fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0) concept is hugely based on IoT’s intuitive adaptation and intelligent automation in every industrial activity. 

50. Low-Maintenance, Low-HP Pumps For Packaged WWTPs 10/28/2020

    In addition to all the challenges of responding to the biological demands of wastewater treatment, packaged wastewater treatment plants — aka, package plants — also face physical and financial demands related to size and efficiency. Here are several factors that can help utilities, design engineers, and package plant OEMs reduce cooling concerns and maintenance costs when using low-hp pumps (<10 hp) in open air applications.
