Electromagnetic meters have increasingly become the instrument of choice for municipal utility and industrial water measurement applications where highly accurate flow measurement is critical. Also known as mag meters, these devices contain no moving parts, so they are both reliable and virtually maintenance-free. However, if a mag meter’s liner is torn or delaminates, it can lead to serious problems and major expenses.

Flow meter choices are plentiful when it comes to full pipes, but the lack of options for open channels and partially filled pipes in wastewater and stormwater applications presents a special challenge for municipalities. In many of those cases, utility managers are contending with water contaminated with foam, oil, grease, or debris. The good news is that economical and reliable open channel flow meters are available to tackle those issues.

The use of chlorine to treat and disinfect drinking water and wastewater has been in practice for decades, with the earliest recorded attempt dating all the way back to 1893. Since then, it has come a long way.

It is more important than ever for cities and municipalities to leverage wastewater treatment plant data to optimize operational efficiency and sustainability, given the increase in energy prices and the rising frequency of severe weather events due to climate change.

Municipalities work diligently to produce quality drinking water and meet strict wastewater treatment regulatory standards while managing expenses. Advanced technologies allow utilities to gather actionable information and strategically offset deficiencies.

Dealing with the glut of data generated by water treatment plants (WTPs), distribution systems, sewer and stormwater collection systems, and wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) can be like trying to take a sip from a fire hose. Here is how an optimized approach to ‘smart water’ data analytics can make the difference between struggling with implementation and flourishing with efficiency.

Jet aeration retrofits modernize aging wastewater tanks with minimal downtime, integrating easily into existing basins while delivering long-term reliability, higher oxygen transfer efficiency, and significantly lower lifecycle costs.

The chemistry of optimizing water/wastewater treatment extends far beyond chlorine and oxygen. It also involves synthesizing productive insights from the flood of IT data generated by operational technology (OT) sensors, instruments, and control systems. Here’s how better operational intelligence strategies are helping IT and OT personnel collaborate to make processes more cost-efficient.

Measurement is critical to the water industry. Whether it’s improving efficiency levels, investing in infrastructure or funding innovation – one thing is certain, accuracy matters and the sums have to add up.

Sludge grinders are inline processors that play an important role in the successful operation of wastewater treatment plants by reducing oversized solids that can causing jamming and damage to pumps and process equipment. Franklin Miller grinders are known for their heavy-duty capabilities and innovative designs with models available for a variety of application requirements.

This customer supplies district heating and electricity for the region of Sønderborg. For one of their waste applications a MAG meter failed within 6 months, and was successfully replaced with a Panametrics Aquatrans AT600.

Successful aquaculture corporations know that there are many variables that need to be accounted for in order for the bottom line to be “in the black”, let alone grow annually by 10-20%.

The argument has been used that PVC pipe is delicate and can’t be subjected to any kind of loading. In EBAA's years of testing we have found that is not the case at all. PVC can take an extreme amount of strain.

Microbial contamination of food and beverage products is a potentially catastrophic occurrence resulting in foodborne illness or food spoilage. The same nutritive properties that render cheese and dairy products such a valuable food also provide an ideal growth medium for microbes if contamination occurs.

Clean-in-Place (CIP) systems are critical for industries where hygiene and contamination control are mandatory—such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and specialty chemical manufacturing. These systems automate cleaning through validated, programmed steps that ensure compliance with stringent safety and quality standards. This application note explores the challenges of CIP operations and demonstrates how Pulsafeeder’s NextStep pump technology addresses these challenges with precision, reliability, and cost efficiency.

A water purveyor was in urgent need of a chemically resistant flow instrumentation with a long life of service that allowed reliable and long-term stable dosing of the sodium hypochlorite solution.

A municipal association needed to understand if wastewater was being equally distributed across two cast iron pipes within its wastewater treatment plant. Learn how clamp-on ultrasonic measurement helped successfully measure the flow.  

Precise pH control is critical in biomanufacturing processes to ensure product quality, consistency, and safety. This application note explores the challenges of pH management across bioprocessing stages and introduces Pulsafeeder’s NextStep pump as a reliable solution for accurate chemical dosing and process stability.

This application note explores Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) systems that have been installed worldwide in a variety of applications, ranging from a few gallons per minute (GPM) to thousands of GPM.

In this application note, explore considerations for achieving more reliable accuracy when quantifying dechlorination results for applications ranging from RO membrane protection to wastewater discharge compliance.
