  1. Digitizing The Water Sector: An Opportunity To Improve Water Quality 1/6/2021

    The greatest threats to our water supply can be overcome through the application of digital technologies, but widespread implementation remains a hurdle.

  2. Unlocking The Potential Of Digital Pressure Transmitters 9/2/2025
    Traditional analog devices are increasingly being replaced by digital solutions, and communication protocols like CANopen are playing a key role in this transition. This shift calls for engineers to assess whether digital pressure transmitters are the best fit for their specific applications.
  3. Superpowers For Water Systems 2/17/2023

    Discover how your digital twin can give your team members who operate your water distribution systems powers they don’t have today.

  4. Automation 101: The 7 Habits Of Highly Automatable Systems 11/13/2015

    When we automate, we are really just mechanizing individual tasks, controlling that task with some form of computerization, and linking those tasks together in what is called system integration.

  5. Is It Time For An Intelligent Wastewater Network? 7/18/2014

    Mainland Europe has had intelligence in some of its wastewater networks for over ten years now, and some of the oldest real-time control systems in the U.S. date back to the 1980’s. So why has intelligence in the wastewater network not been more abundant?

  6. Making Your Old SCADA System New Again 1/9/2018

    When it comes time to update, it's a prime opportunity to consider switching over to new software that offers improved functionality instead of dumping more money into just keeping your existing software up-to-date.

  7. IoT Cellular Connectivity For Optimizing Water Utilities Management 7/15/2022

    Digital transformation allows utilities to go from data drought (and actual drought) to a deluge of efficiency, but security is paramount.

  8. Climate Change And Growth Require Innovative Response To Well Production Site Selection By The City Of Norman, OK

    The City of Norman’s Utility Authority in Oklahoma (NUA) engaged Optimatics and Carollo Engineers, Inc. to identify the optimal locations for well water production to serve its growing population as well as address draught conditions brought on by climate change. The City places strong emphasis on providing innovative leadership and superior services for its citizens.

  9. Total Oxygen Demand (TOD) – An Alternative Parameter For Real-Time Monitoring Of Wastewater Organics 3/1/2015

    Today, due to the multitude of organics, the organic contamination of wastewater cannot be defined with passable analytical effort. Therefore, composite parameters become more important for the description of organic contamination. Parameters have been defined to enable a fast detection of organic loads.

  10. UV Treatment Upgrades In Wales 8/26/2025

    In order to improve the treatment performance (because of the continued cost to maintain compliance), and ensure that it would eventually have the treatment capacity to meet future population growth equivalent of up to 225,000, Swansea WwTW was in need of an equipment upgrade.
