81. Evolution In Wastewater Goes With The Flow 9/21/2015

    While options for clean water flow measurement abound, there is room for improvement on the wastewater side — but new technologies are closing the gap.

82. Measuring Innovation: Water Quality Analytics Startups To Watch 9/14/2015

    In an industry with more than its share of startup tech companies, Lux Research identifies innovators in water quality analytics that are poised to make a splash.

83. The Most Misunderstood Fact Behind Dissolved Oxygen Sensors (It's The Pressure, Not The Concentration) 8/5/2015

    A dissolved oxygen sensor ought to be simple to understand. Whether it is membrane or optically based, it gives a signal that is proportional to the concentration of oxygen concentration in water.

84. Instant Water Quality Monitoring: It's About Time 7/6/2015

    These are trying times in the water and wastewater industry, characterized by a general lack of resources — failing infrastructure, inadequate funding, and even a lack of water itself. But it’s also an exciting time, with new technologies guiding the way to a brighter future.

85. Smell Test: A Comparison And Ranking Of Hydrogen Sulfide Emission Factors 6/1/2015

    How bad does your wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) really smell? Researchers provide a new perspective on headworks odor control and measurement.

86. Continuous Analyzer Integrated Data Validation 5/28/2015

    Continuous analyzers are an integral part of the process to maintain quality, ensure compliance, and protect public health. Therefore it is imperative to ensure the analyzers are functioning properly and provide accurate and reliable data. This requires validation of the data provided by the analyzer on a routine basis. In addition some continuous analyzers incorporate internal data validation capabilities to inform the end user the reliability of the data provided by the analyzer. This paper discusses integrated data validation and how they may be integrated into SCADA systems.

87. Rumors, Half-Truths, And Truths About Temperature And pH 4/6/2015

    A few months ago I received a call from an angry user who was using one of our differential probes and a controller. Embedded in the probe is a thermistor that measures temperature.

88. Coal Yard Runoff Compliance Using Actiflo® Technology 3/6/2015

    Storm water runoff from a 37-acre coal storage yard utilized as part of daily operations at an industrial site in Southwestern Pennsylvania posed a problem when the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) updated the facility’s NPDES permit.

89. Measure And Control Cyanide With The CNSolution 9310 3/2/2015

    The CNSolution 9310 analyzer is used in precious metal processing to measure and control cyanide used in the hydrometallurgical leaching of gold and silver from the ore.

90. PPCPs: Preparing For An Uncertain Regulatory Future 2/23/2015

    As regulations tighten and technology evolves, monitoring and removing pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) from wastewater streams becomes more complex. A laboratory information management system (LIMS) may be the key to managing this complexity.
