SWAN Corner: Digital Twin At A 45-Year-Old WWTP
11/8/2021
The multi-award-winning Pukete Wastewater Treatment Plant digital twin project takes the complex and very relevant problem of collecting, integrating, and maintaining information about existing asset stock. It breaks this problem down into smaller, palatable chunks and addresses each component of the problem though the implementation of several technologies. This is underpinned by trust and true collaboration between Beca (the consulting team), EcoDomus (software vendor), and Hamilton City Council (the client).

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.

Why It’s Smart To Increase Your Sewer Network Monitoring
10/25/2021
Effectively managing hundreds of thousands of miles of sewer network is not an enviable task. And with ever changing industry regulation, stricter statutory targets, additional compliance, and a growing abundance of technology, that task could easily be regarded as insurmountable. How can you ever know exactly what’s going on throughout your entire network? It’s impossible. Or is it?

Detecting COVID-19 Early Via Wastewater Surveillance
10/25/2021
Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) is the analysis of wastewater to identify the presence of biologicals or chemicals for the purpose of monitoring public health. It can provide a snapshot of entire communities from one sample. Detecting viral diseases by way of wastewater monitoring is nothing new, it’s been known for decades that viral particles can be detected in human feces. WBE has previously been used to detect the presence of pharmaceutical or industrial waste, drugs, viruses, and potential emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. In Israel, a wastewater surveillance program for monitoring polio outbreaks has been successfully running since 1989.
