  1. WWEMA Window: The Importance Of Early Design System Integration 3/16/2023

    The water/wastewater industry is about to be hit, and in some cases already has been hit, with funding for projects through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL). Monies are starting to flow from the federal government into State Revolving Funds, or SRFs, to assist municipalities with upgrading an aging infrastructure.

  2. Should You Trash Your Flow Meter? 4/10/2013

    Generally speaking, market research reports aren’t terribly exciting reads, but they are at times enlightening. Studies on how specific technologies are being applied can reveal trends for the industries they serve — for example, flow meters in water and wastewater. I recently came across some interesting analysis on the subject, homing in on what they reveal about our corner of the world.

  3. Next-Level Communications Solves SCADA Problem For City Of St. George 8/4/2015

    Water and wastewater treatment facilities around the globe are turning to the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) to help automate and improve the security of their facilities through high performance M2M wireless communications. In fact, there is a suite of Class 1 and Div 2 spread spectrum unlicensed and licensed radios specifically for water/wastewater applications, including high-speed wireless Ethernet, serial, and IO radios. These radios can be easily networked to ensure that facility monitoring and performance data are accurate and delivered in a timely fashion. These solutions can help municipalities design and implement a world-class point to point wireless network for unique facility applications including water and wastewater treatment plant monitoring, pump house control, chemical monitoring and control, SCADA systems, remote video surveillance and security, water flow control, and cathodic protection applications.

  4. Crystal Clear Water Supply Corporation 7/15/2015

    Serving an area from eastern San Marcos to northwest Seguin, Crystal Clear Water Supply Corporation (CCWSC) recently commissioned their integrator, Central Texas Water Maintenance (CTWM) to replace their Wonderware and WIN-911 systems with VTScada software from Trihedral.

  5. 5 Questions To Ask Before Selecting A Process Data Analytics Solution 1/7/2019

    The data generation and collection strategies at the center of manufacturing processes have evolved dramatically, especially in recent years. Process manufacturers now collect and store huge volumes of data throughout their operations, both on and off premise, across multiple geographic locations, in an increasing number of separate data silos. In this paper, we propose five questions we believe every process manufacturing buyer should ask when evaluating a data analytics solution.

  6. City Solves Reliability And Maintenance Problems For WTP Hypo Feeds 8/13/2014

    A municipal water quality manager reports replacement of sodium hypochlorite (hypo) vacuum feeder units with a more advanced type at one water treatment plant (WTP) has helped allow for continued reliability for chlorination.

  7. SWAN Corner: Wet Weather Measurement Means More Than Scratching The Surface 6/18/2021

    Wet weather is a continuous concern for wastewater utilities. Rain-derived infiltration and inflow (RDII) challenges the collection system capacity. It can potentially result in overflows in the collection system and even the wastewater recovery facility (WRF) in extreme cases. These overflows can threaten public health and the environment. Additionally, higher flow volumes associated with wet weather will increase operating costs at the WRF.

  8. Modernizing Monitoring And Manual Data Entry For Water And Wastewater 3/17/2020

    Advancements in security and technology help bring confidence — and a multitude of benefits — to remote, cloud-based utility monitoring.

  9. Smart Utility: Building A Foundation for Artificial Intelligence 9/4/2018

    With data comes decision-making power, but how each utility wields that power will be different. The Smart Utility approach tailors digital capabilities to arrive at specific and optimal outcomes.

  10. An Integrated, Data-Driven Approach To Water Management 4/20/2021

    Defining a sustainable digital strategy and employing solutions in a phased manner can result in multiple productivity, maintenance, reliability, and cost benefits for water utilities.
