WASTEWATER ANALYSIS RESOURCES

• Math Solutions Explained: Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) mg/L

  Water Online’s “Math Solutions Explained” series, presented by wastewater consultant and trainer Dan Theobald (“Wastewater Dan”), educates operators by explaining BOD mg/L calculations.

• Employing Wastewater Testing To Monitor Infection Trends And Control The Spread Of COVID-19

  Since March of last year, when the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 a global pandemic, the U.S. has recorded over 33.7 million cases of infection and surpassed 600,000 deaths due to the highly transmissible viral disease.

• Looking Forward: How Digital Solutions Can Save Us From Future Disasters

  Infrastructure rarely makes headlines, but the severe devastation in Texas requires a blunt conversation about aging infrastructure in the U.S. In a strange coincidence, shortly after news and images from Texas shocked the world, ASCE published its 2021 Infrastructure Report Card highlighting the decrepit state of the nation’s infrastructure, and, for the first time, including a report card for stormwater management.

• IoT — An Ideal Technology To Revolutionize Sewage Treatment And Management

  With freshwater sources depleting rapidly, treating and consuming wastewater seems to be the only option in the near future. As per a UN population fund released in 2001, it was estimated that the world will start facing water-related issues by 2050.

• Indiana Wastewater Monitoring Program: Sampling Community Sewersheds For SARS-CoV-2

  A community wastewater system can provide valuable information about public health conditions in an anonymous and rapidly accessible manner. One area where this is especially powerful is infectious diseases, which are shed into wastewater systems. In response to the global COVID-19 pandemic, the scientific community has rapidly mobilized to determine if wastewater monitoring for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, could be detected and quantified in wastewater streams and sludge.

• 10 LuminUltra Milestones Of 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.

• How To Achieve Your Wastewater Treatment Goals With ATP Testing

  Of all the questions that I’ve been asked when speaking with prospective clients in wastewater treatment, the one that I can count on is:

• Save Valuable Time With Automated Microbial Testing

  Water treatment operators balance their time between a wide range of responsibilities. On any given day they could be preparing chemicals, performing maintenance and miscellaneous repairs, reviewing data, collecting samples, and running a variety of tests. In balancing these competing demands, some important duties might not get the time required to truly maximize benefits.

• Wastewater Lab Selection And Sampling Best Practices

  Sending samples out still requires a level of responsibility and competency. Follow these steps to ensure accurate water quality analysis.

• COVID-19 Clues In A Community's Sewage: 4 Questions Answered About Watching Wastewater For Coronavirus

  Researchers around the world are testing wastewater for the SARS-CoV-2 virus, in hopes that what goes down the drain can act as an early warning system for COVID-19 infections in communities.
