Wastewater Application Notes

1. Take Control Of Your Water Distribution Network With Digitalization And Remote Monitoring 5/19/2022

   Any process plant constantly generates a high volume of status data. Today, this data can be extracted from the plant, stored, analyzed, and prepared to meet operator needs and lower marginal costs.

2. Mapping And Identifying The Source Of Water Quality Issues 6/28/2017

   A Southern U.S. municipality experiencing taste and odor issues in a certain neighborhood was also having difficulty maintaining chlorine residual levels in the area. Biological growth was suspected, however, water leaving the treatment plant met and exceeded all water quality requirements. After several investigations, the source of contamination in the distribution system could still not be identified.

3. Pikeville, Kentucky Medical Center Leak Found Despite Ambient Noise 6/23/2021

   Leaks found in 60 psi high density PE pipe by FELL in less than three hours. Acoustic and CCTV failed to find any leaks after more than a year of investigation. Read the full case study to learn more. 

4. Process Monitoring And Control For Increased Productivity And Efficiency 4/9/2012

   The Littleton/Englewood wastewater treatment plant, Colorado, put in place processes to effectively monitor the levels of ammonia in their wastewater treatment.

5. How One Wastewater Treatment Plant Saved Time And Money Measuring Turbidity And TSS 1/31/2012
   The wastewater treatment plant of a major corporation is designed for a population capacity of 6 million people and is considered a very large wastewater treatment plant.
6. Managing Storm And Surface Water With ForeSITE UL Monitoring System 2/6/2024

   As flooding increases along coastal and river-adjacent communities, the need for low-cost, reliable monitoring and warning systems has become a critical factor for managing these issues in real time, without requiring major infrastructure overhauls.

7. How To Optimize Your DAF System With Air Dissolving Pumps 9/6/2024

   Despite their importance in modern wastewater applications, not all DAFs are created equal. Factors, such as the components that make up these systems, will influence how well they work and how long they last.

8. Comparison Of Ultra Low Range Total Chlorine Residual Limits Of Detection And Quantitation Across The Water Industry 7/8/2024

   Limits of Detection and Quantitation are key to understanding analytical instrumentation capabilities, especially when non-optimal process control can lead to damage of sensitive equipment due to insufficiently accurate readings.

9. Application Note: Testing Nitrite In Surface Water And Wastewater 4/25/2011
   The Thermo Scientific Orion AQUAfast® AQ3700 Colorimeter comes programmed with methods for testing nutrients. By Thermo Fisher Scientific
10. Advances In Paper-Based Devices For Water Quality Analysis 2/22/2017

    Water quality test strips have been around for decades. They are usually constructed from a porous media, including different types of paper, and undergo a color change when dipped into water containing the analyte of interest. These test strips have seen application in swimming pools, aquariums, hot tubs, remediation sites, and other commercial/environmental areas.
