  1. Sounding The Alarm On Silent Noncompliance 7/5/2019

    Water and wastewater utility operators work diligently to operate within strict guidelines, ensuring their facilities are producing the best drinking water and highest quality effluent possible. Despite all their efforts, however, it can be easy to fall outside of regulatory compliance without even being aware. The key to avoiding problems like these is to understand how silent noncompliance can happen and knowing when to raise a red flag.

  2. ABB Ability: Our Offering For Power Plants 4/5/2019

    ABB provides an extensive selection of proven measurement and analytical products and solutions for power generation industry applications.

  3. How Digitalization Can Boost Natural Disaster Resiliency In Municipal Water And Sewerage Treatment 3/28/2019

    Digitalization of the municipal water treatment industry is fragmented today, with instrumentation, control, and automation technologies mixed with manual operational activities. Such infrastructures can be detrimental in cases of hydro-geological events, such as severe storms and earthquakes. The good news: When natural disasters strike, digitalization can help get municipal water treatment back online quickly and effectively.

  4. The Great Flood And Future Predictions 3/27/2019

    Did you know that the earliest recorded flood is that of the Great Flood detailed in Christian Bibles, the Torah, and the Quran? I was, therefore, amused to hear from a channel partner about a flow monitoring job in the Eastern Anatolia region of Turkey, at the foot of Mount Ararat. Why? Because Mount Ararat is cited as the place where Noah’s Ark came to rest after the Great Flood (Genesis 8:4).

  5. How Can We Start The Journey To Smart Water Networks? 2/20/2019

    In the developed world, potable water is delivered to people via a complex infrastructure consisting of water catchment, water treatment, water storage (reservoirs, towers), and water distribution (pipes). The first two elements are well understood; what is less understood is what happens to water as it journeys to the tap.

  6. Global Experts Offer 2019 Smart Water Insights 2/13/2019

    What are some of the biggest global challenges, trends, and opportunities for the smart water sector in 2019? To answer these questions, the Smart Water Networks Forum (SWAN) interviewed four industry experts from Australia, North America, the UK, and India.

  7. Troubleshooting A Sudden Fecal Coliform Non-Compliance Event 11/26/2018

    A municipal wastewater treatment plant investigated a sudden increase in fecal coliform exceedance events.

  8. Precise Level And Interface Measurement In Wastewater Tanks 11/8/2018

    Guided wave radar technology provides accurate and reliable level and interface measurement in effluent treatment areas, ensuring regulatory compliance and reducing costs in wastewater applications.

  9. What Can 2nd Generation ATP Do For An Operator Or Field Technician? 11/1/2018

    It’s important to start with the fact that this is not a regulatory test. This technology won’t replace any required compliance tests and the results are not reportable, which is actually a great benefit to our users. While regulatory testing is important, compliant does not necessarily mean clean.

  10. How To Mitigate Biofouling In Your Industrial Process Using 2nd Generation ATP 10/9/2018

    Microorganisms can wreak havoc in industrial processes in a number of ways – from slime formation that causes paper breaks and excessive downtime in papermaking facilities, to costly recalls of spoiled final product. Consequently, an effective microbiological control program, which includes accurate and reliable monitoring, is critical for maintaining an efficient process and final product quality.
