WASTEWATER INSTRUMENTATION RESOURCES

• Math Solutions Explained: Converting To Gallons Per Minute

  This presentation will focus on converting and expressing flow rate gallons in minutes, converted from flow rate gallons in hours.

• SWAN Corner: Creating And Implementing A Smart Industrial Monitoring Network And Advanced Data Analytics At The City of Memphis

  The City of Memphis teamed with Brown and Caldwell to pilot a smart sensor network where water-quality monitors could be installed directly at permitted discharge points for five of the largest industrial users. The pilot project also served as a proof-of-concept project for the City to assess the feasibility of making a paradigm shift to digital water-quality monitoring as a long-term solution.

• 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.

• ABB Flowmeters Help Cut Water Loss In Bangkok

  The Metropolitan Waterworks Authority (MWA) produces and supplies drinking water to over 11 million people in the Bangkok Metropolitan area covering the provinces of Bangkok, Nonthaburi, and Samutprakarn. On average, around 5.47 million cubic meters of water gets distributed daily through a network of pipelines spanning 37,700 kilometers.

• Math Solutions Explained: Pipe Volume Gallons

  Water Online’s “Math Solutions Explained” series, presented by wastewater consultant and trainer Dan Theobald (“Wastewater Dan”), educates operators by explaining pipe volume gallons 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.

• Hydroinformatics 101: Intro To Water Optimization And Efficiency

  Hydroinformatics offers a fresh perspective that is enabling communities around the world to tackle ageold problems in new ways and with a bigger toolset.

• Integrating Safety And Process Environments

  Using a single programmable controller such as Schneider Electric’s M580 Safety Controller to manage both process and safety systems can help speed up deployment, improve reliability and sustainability of operations, enhance cybersecurity, and support greater productivity and transparency.

• SWAN Corner: Wet Weather Measurement Means More Than Scratching The Surface

  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.

• SWAN Corner: How Regulators And Innovators Are Working Together To Digitize Wastewater Regulations

  Advanced technologies have been trickling into wastewater processes for the last decade, but only recently have bodies such as the International Standards Organisation added smart systems to their list of standardised practices. Collaborations with tech startups have played a vital role in bringing standards in line with current technological capabilities, but there’s a long way to go...
