SCADA and Automation Solutions and Insight For Utility Managers

  1. Data Monetization: Water And Wastewater Utilities In The Information Age 5/4/2016

    In this article, we will take a closer look at how water and wastewater utilities can monetize data and improve profitability by generating top-line growth and reducing costs.

  2. Connecting To The Future: Where Will Digitally Linked Devices Take The Water Industry? 12/2/2015

    You may hear talk of an emerging “smart grid” in the sector. Maybe you’ve heard of a tomorrow dependent on the Internet of Things (IoT). Whatever they choose to call it, advocates will agree: a network of digitally connected devices is emerging, which will pool data together and funnel it to a single source, painting a more complete picture of how water is used. And soon, it will be everywhere.

  3. How To Right-Size Your Lift Station Without The 6-Month Wait 5/27/2025

    In Part 3 of the Get Pumped Up series, the spotlight is on speed: how utilities can identify and solve lift station inefficiencies without waiting six months for a redesign study.

  4. The Ecuadorian Company EPA Increases Revenue By 500% 12/5/2020

    The public water company EPA in Ecuador integrated the management of its billing system into a single platform thanks to GoAigua. Efficiency was boosted by combining personalized consultancy on digital transformation with the implementation of GoAigua’s billing technology solution. A significant improvement in results was achieved, including a 500% increase in revenue and a 300% increase in payment collections.

  5. Integrating Safety And Process Environments 6/24/2021

    Using a single programmable controller such as Schneider Electric’s M580 Safety Controller to manage both process and safety systems can help speed up deployment, improve reliability and sustainability of operations, enhance cybersecurity, and support greater productivity and transparency.

  6. Digital Water Network Engineering & Asset Management Of Dibrugarh Water Supply Project 9/24/2021

    Situated on the banks of the Brahmaputra River, Dibrugarh is a major city in Assam, India, and an emerging industrial, educational, and health care center in the region. Despite its riverside location, the town has no centralized potable water supply facility for the 25,391 households, home to 167,733 people. Given the unreliable, inequitable water supply and highly compromised water quality, the government initiated a water infrastructure project to ensure adequate distribution and 24x7 access to clean drinking water. The USD 25 million initiative includes engineering, procurement, and construction of a 220-kilometer integrated water network. DTK Hydronet was hired as the engineering consultant and faced coordination and engineering challenges while working with the contractor and utility, as well as addressing non-revenue water (NRW) concerns.

  7. The Advantages Of Automating Wastewater Treatment 10/1/2016

    Wastewater treatment operations are beginning to embrace the power of automation. How can it help? And how is it implemented?

  8. Overcoming Water Scarcity Challenges On Providenciales Island 6/30/2009

    The residents and industries of Providenciales Island are completely dependent on fresh water produced by a single desalination plant. In 2007, ITT Flowtronex was hired to replace the plant’s overworked pumping system and add a booster pumping station to the distribution system. One of the challenges they faced in designing controls for the system was how to maintain the public water supply while the island’s undersized ground water storage tanks were removed and replaced with a large single tank in the same location, a three to four month process.

  9. Manage And Correct Drinking Water Distribution In Real-Time 10/19/2022

    The cost of water lost through leaks and breaks (real loss) is estimated at $14 billion per year worldwide. Beyond the cost of replacing water through treating and pumping and re-purchasing, the impact is felt through decreased service levels, rate increases, and missing regulatory targets.

  10. Water Utility OT vs. IT — It's Not A Battle, It's A Balance 1/14/2020

    The chemistry of optimizing water/wastewater treatment extends far beyond chlorine and oxygen. It also involves synthesizing productive insights from the flood of IT data generated by operational technology (OT) sensors, instruments, and control systems. Here’s how better operational intelligence strategies are helping IT and OT personnel collaborate to make processes more cost-efficient.
