Wastewater Measurement Resources

  1. Machine Learning And The Future Of Water Quality Monitoring 3/6/2025

    Aided by "soft sensors," machine learning is revolutionizing monitoring and powering real-time predictions.

  2. Understanding ISE Measurements In Wastewater Process Monitoring 3/25/2013

    Analytic measuring technique provides a huge number of procedures to determine the concentrations of substances in an unknown sample, e.g. photometry, titration or mass spectrometry.

  3. Greater Regional Resilience Is Created Via Optimization Along With CAPEX And OPEX Savings For Southern Water In The UK

    Optimatics worked with Southern Water and Arcadis to optimize interventions addressing rising groundwater nitrate concentrations, in conjunction with overall hydraulic performance and network resilience.

  4. Addressing Global Drinking Water Challenges With IIoT And Automation Solutions 8/17/2022

    Nearly a billion people worldwide lack basic water services and another billion lack safely managed drinking water, according to a United Nations Report on Water and Sanitation. And the problem is only getting worse: Currently, 17 countries and 33 of the world’s cities with populations above three million are living under extreme water stress. That number is expected to rise to 45 by 2030.

  5. Applying Data-as-a-Service To The Wastewater Sector 4/6/2020

    A major concern with real-time monitoring networks is the accuracy and reliability of data. In 2017, the Smart Water Networks Forum (SWAN) surveyed 23 global water utilities about their Big Data management practices as part of a Water Research Foundation (WRF) study, including their barriers to adoption.

  6. 10 LuminUltra Milestones Of 2020 12/21/2020

    Like many companies, when we launched our 2020 strategic plan in January, we had no idea what the year would hold. We will remember 2020 not only as a year of unprecedented challenges, but of resilience and innovation.

  7. Tackling Modern Wastewater Treatment Challenges And Unlocking Efficiencies With Advanced Water Technologies 1/24/2018

    Research studies, empirical evidence, and the march of time all suggest that the implementation of next-generation technologies at wastewater utilities is profoundly important, if not imperative, for efficient operations.

  8. SCADA Cybersecurity: What Every Water Utility Should Do Now To Prevent An Attack 4/29/2014

    Danger isn’t always obvious. Often the worst threats are the ones that go undetected— until they strike. 

  9. Smarter SCADA Alarming 1/9/2018

    One afternoon at a waste water treatment facility, an alarm goes off when the water pressure gets too high in one of the tanks. The alarm is set at priority level 4, which means “critical,” but it doesn’t stand out because almost every other alarm at the facility is set at that level. Besides, the operator can’t acknowledge it right away because he’s dealing with several other alarms that went off a few minutes earlier – which he doesn’t yet realize are just “nuisance alarms.”
