91. SCADA Conversion Without Down Time 9/21/2011

    How a SC utility replaced their SCADA central without service interruption or a steep learning curve. By Jay Nicholson and Chris Little

92. Expanding Industrial Applications For Automation In Pumping 4/8/2022

    The Internet of Things (IoT), Industry 4.0, and connectivity in drives is the future, and many market segments must modernize to compete. The world is more connected than ever with new technological advances that produce higher process efficiency and time savings. To stay competitive in this environment, companies must include automated solutions such as remote management, monitoring, and control.

93. How Water Utilities Are Responding To COVID-19 With GIS 12/15/2020

    While coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is changing almost everything in our lives, one thing hasn’t changed: water continues to be delivered to homes. When you turn on the faucet, clean water comes out. When you flush the toilet, dirty water goes away. Most of us don’t think much about it, but our water utilities do. They are having to adjust, just like everyone else, and continue to operate their systems. They are providing clean and safe drinking water to their customers under completely changed circumstances.

94. 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).

95. WWEMA Window: Fully Automated Chemical Optimization For Drinking Water Treatment Gains Momentum 3/1/2023

    Drinking water treatment systems utilize chemical coagulants to assist in mitigating turbidity from surface source waters. In most cases, coagulant consumption is the largest operating cost within a facility. Over the past few years, coagulant prices have increased significantly, putting pressure on utilities to look for ways to reduce chemical consumption. Coagulants rely on certain conditions to perform, namely particle charge, pH, water temperature, turbidity, and organic level. However, the technology to optimize chemical performance is lacking in this industry.

96. Harnessing The Power Of Data For On-Time And On-Budget Water Projects 8/29/2020

    When it comes to designing and constructing water and wastewater treatment plants, predictable outcomes are a crucial element for project management teams. Accurately monitoring a project’s schedule and budget is critical to successful delivery.

97. 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. 

98. How Does The Transcend Design Generator Help In Designing Your Next MBBR Plant? 8/8/2022

    In this blog, we will look at the process design that determines the reactor sizing in the TDG. 

99. How To Code Like A Wastewater Treatment Plant 5/26/2021

    The coding process has a lot of parts we tend to forget, like documentation, testing, or even the most administrative parts, the worklog. But if you look at coding from a different perspective, you can make your coding process, but in reality, any type of work process much more in line.

100. Industrial Internet Of Things (IoT): Identifying The Vulnerabilities Of Field Devices 7/12/2016

     The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) industry is growing at a rapid pace. By year-end 2015, an estimated 13.4 billion IoT-connected devices had flooded the global market.
