Latest Insights on Wastewater Management

  1. How Does The Transcend Design Generator Help Optimize The Reactor Design Of Your Next Wastewater Treatment Plant? 8/8/2022

    This blog will take you through the methods behind the Transend Design Generator's reactor sizing optimization so that you don't feel uncertain about what is happening in the TDG. 

  2. Flood Maps Show U.S. Vastly Underestimates Contamination Risk At Old Industrial Sites 8/5/2022

    In 2019, researchers at the U.S. GAO investigated climate-related risks at the 1,571 most polluted properties in the country, also known as Superfund sites on the federal National Priorities List. They found an alarming 60% were in locations at risk of climate-related events, including wildfires and flooding. As troubling as those numbers sound, our research shows that that’s just the proverbial tip of the iceberg.

  3. 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.
  4. What Was The Transcend Design Generator NOT Designed To Do? 7/28/2022

    TDG was built to help with streamlining conceptual design practices. However, TDG was NOT designed to do everything.

  5. Your Feedback Helped Us Create The New Transcend Design Generator 7/28/2022

    Explore the improvements made to the Transcend Design Generator to improve user experience. 

  6. IoT Cellular Connectivity For Optimizing Water Utilities Management 7/15/2022

    Digital transformation allows utilities to go from data drought (and actual drought) to a deluge of efficiency, but security is paramount.

  7. Energy-Saving In Water Systems: The Key To Cutting Costs And Achieving Net Zero 7/15/2022

    Many of us are lucky enough to be able to turn on a tap and have clean water start flowing. Behind this, and all sorts of other domestic, business, and industrial applications that enable our modern world, utilities must move and process incredible volumes of water. Moving this much water is extremely energy-intensive. Experts estimate that around 4% of total global energy production goes toward water and wastewater processing. That’s approximately equivalent to the total energy use of Australia.

  8. Climate Change Is Making Flooding Worse: 3 Reasons The World Is Seeing More Record-Breaking Deluges 7/7/2022

    Although floods are a natural occurrence, human-caused climate change is making severe flooding events like this more common. In mountainous regions, three effects of climate change in particular are creating higher flood risks: more intense precipitation, shifting snow and rain patterns and the effects of wildfires on the landscape.

  9. Call For Proposals: Project Accelerator Applications Are Now Open 7/1/2022

    WaterNow’s Project Accelerator provides bandwidth and support to help communities get these types of projects off the ground. Open to cities, towns, utilities, and other public entities with responsibility for drinking water, wastewater, and stormwater, the Accelerator provides selected projects with about 250 hours of pro-bono support.

  10. 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.
