Latest Insights on Drinking Water Measurement

  1. U.S. PFAS Analytical Instrumentation Market Expected To Generate Profound Growth Over Next 7 Years 8/5/2022

    The current slope of the U.S. PFAS analytical instrumentation market advancement is steep due to U.S. EPA plans to propose water and wastewater regulations for PFAS. Additionally, some of the key drivers include an increased awareness about the widespread prevalence of PFAS contamination, public outrage, funding, and litigation scares.

  2. Digitalization In The Water Industry: Look How Far We've Come 8/2/2022
    Every once in a while, I hear someone saying that digitalization, or going digital, is the next big thing in the water industry. Don't look now, but digitalization is here; and it has been for a few decades.
  3. The Benefits Of Flow Measurement Sensors In Smart Water Treatment 6/29/2022

    Flow measurement sensors are essential parts of water treatment plants. It’s increasingly common for those products to have Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity. One industry report indicated the intelligent flow meter market will reach $3.1 billion in market worth by 2025, representing a 4.4% compound annual growth rate between 2020 and 2025.

  4. How IoT Could Open The Floodgates To Innovative Water Management Projects 5/5/2022

    As the water industry continues to adopt more high-tech and data-centric solutions, it is important to consider the communications infrastructure that supports such investments.

  5. Calling On Utilities To Combat Legionella 5/5/2022

    The risk level linked to delivered drinking water from municipal utilities is very small, even if some high-profile examples of failure (see Flint, MI) have degraded public confidence to a degree. Our treatment professionals usually hit their targets, so the onus then shifts to the research and guidance that determines the safe level of various constituents through U.S. EPA protocols. But there is one contaminant that rulemaking hasn’t quite caught up to and which is downright deadly — Legionella pneumophila.

  6. 4 Keys To Adopting Industry 4.0 At Your Water Processing Facility 5/5/2022

    As the water industry continues to walk the road of digital transformation, here’s a step-by-step guide to help utilities keep pace.

  7. Emergence Of Smart Irrigation Technologies To Help Overcome Shortcomings Of Conventional Agriculture Practices 1/18/2022

    Smart irrigation technology refers to the integration of many scientifically advanced solutions to help in the remote automation and monitoring of the irrigation process. The use of smart irrigation technologies has played a key role in helping the agriculture industry overcome the drawbacks of conventional agricultural practices. 

  8. Pressure Transients And Water Conservation In A Time Of Drought 1/12/2022

    With water supply at a premium and pipelines deteriorating, drinking water utilities must do all they can to preserve their existing assets.

  9. Understanding The Impact Of Smart Water 1/5/2022

    To appreciate the impact of smart water solutions — Big Data analytics, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning — one must first identify some of the main challenges involved in water and wastewater network monitoring, as well as the benefits of real-time, proactive versus traditional, reactive approaches. This impact is intertwined by economic, social, and environmental dimensions, which are best enabled through industry collaboration.

  10. When The Heat Is On, Help Your Pressure Transmitters Keep Their Cool 10/29/2021

    Ideally, a pressure transmitter is installed with the sensing element as close to the process as possible. Short impulse lines allow for the fastest dynamic response. But many industrial processes run at elevated temperatures and heat transfer by radiant, conductive or ambient paths can damage a transmitter’s wetted materials or, more commonly, shorten the life of its electronic components. So, when process temperatures climb above 220°F, it’s time to consider protective solutions that increase transmitter life and preserve process uptime without sacrificing responsiveness. To learn about the range of solutions designed to facilitate safe and accurate pressure measurement at high temperatures, Control sat down with Doug Greaves, U.S. product manager, temperature and pressure, ABB Measurement & Analytics.
