  2. Math Solutions Explained: Pipe Volume Gallons 8/3/2021

    Water Online’s “Math Solutions Explained” series, presented by wastewater consultant and trainer Dan Theobald (“Wastewater Dan”), educates operators by explaining pipe volume gallons calculations.

  3. Digester Biogas Flow Measurement 6/25/2021

    Engineers at a municipal wastewater treatment utility were seeking an improvement over their existing, maintenance-intensive flow metering technology. 

  4. SWAN Corner: Wet Weather Measurement Means More Than Scratching The Surface 6/18/2021

    Wet weather is a continuous concern for wastewater utilities. Rain-derived infiltration and inflow (RDII) challenges the collection system capacity. It can potentially result in overflows in the collection system and even the wastewater recovery facility (WRF) in extreme cases. These overflows can threaten public health and the environment. Additionally, higher flow volumes associated with wet weather will increase operating costs at the WRF.

  5. City Of Decatur Implements Siemens SITRANS store IQ For Operational Transparency 4/29/2021

    The addition of the Siemens SITRANS store IQ hardware solution and app allowed Decatur immediate access to flow rate, totalizer, and head measurement on all their devices.

  6. How To Do Level Monitoring Better 4/16/2021

    Existing level monitoring, usually for combined sewer overflow (CSO) or event duration monitoring (EDM) purposes has been in regular use in the U.K. for over a decade, but the equipment hasn’t changed much in that time. With the current technology comes limitations. So, the question Dave Walker, co-founder and commercial director at wastewater monitoring specialists Detectronic, has been asking is: How can we do level monitoring better for the benefit of water companies, their customers, and the environment?

  7. IoT — An Ideal Technology To Revolutionize Sewage Treatment And Management 2/9/2021

    With freshwater sources depleting rapidly, treating and consuming wastewater seems to be the only option in the near future. As per a UN population fund released in 2001, it was estimated that the world will start facing water-related issues by 2050.

  8. City Of Warren, MI, Installs Promag W For Waste-Activated Sludge Application 10/9/2020

    The City of Warren Water Recovery Facility in Michigan, treats and protects the waters of the state. Read the full case study to learn how the City of Warren Water Recovery Facility has been able to attain accurate data at a high repeatability rate since the installation of the Promag W unrestricted mounting 0 x DN electromagnetic flowmeter.

  9. Using IoT-Based Tank Level Monitoring For Volume Measurement 9/22/2020

    Level monitoring systems has successfully triumphed every implementation. Their deployments allow the users to measure the level of liquid stored in a container of any shape, size, orientation, or material. Powered with the advanced telemetric technology of Internet of Things, these systems measure liquid level without making any contact with the liquid and transmit the readings to a comprehensive platform suite.
