WASTEWATER MANAGEMENT RESOURCES

• Wastewater Monitoring Took Off During The COVID-19 Pandemic — And Here’s How It Could Help Head Off Future Outbreaks

  A community’s sewage holds clues about its COVID-19 burden. Over the course of the pandemic, wastewater surveillance has become an increasingly popular way to try to understand local infection trends.

• How IoT Could Open The Floodgates To Innovative Water Management Projects

  As the water industry continues to adopt more high-tech and data-centric solutions, it is important to consider the communications infrastructure that supports such investments

• 4 Keys To Adopting Industry 4.0 At Your Water Processing Facility

  As the water industry continues to walk the road of digital transformation, here’s a step-by-step guide to help utilities keep pace.

• Utility Identifies More Than $250,000 In Recoverable Revenue Using Data-Driven Meter Replacement Program

  The City of Fort Wayne turns to Xylem Revenue Locator by evaluating the effectiveness of their existing meter replacement program to more accurately identify underperforming meters, reduce water loss, and identify recoverable revenue.

• Industrial Wastewater: Eliminating Pipe Obstructions With Superior Cleaning Nozzles

  Contractors can dramatically speed pipe cleaning and prevent process disruptions and downtime using a variety of high-performance hose nozzles.

• City Avoids Full Shutdown Of Wastewater Facility For Repairs With Valve Insertion

  The Insta-Valve 20-24 provided a targeted shutdown to remove and replace inoperable valves without causing a substantial wastewater facility shutdown.

• Leveraging ddPCR Technology For Accurate Wastewater Surveillance Testing

  At this stage in the COVID-19 pandemic, where disease levels are diminishing in several parts of the U.S., authorities seeking to detect and isolate new outbreaks have found it best to transition from a triage-based clinical testing strategy to a broad surveillance strategy. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has turned to wastewater testing for surveillance because this form of community-based testing allows authorities to detect spikes in viral levels in a community days before individuals experience clinical symptoms while encompassing the part of the population that is asymptomatic or hesitant to be tested.

• Seizing The Water Infrastructure Moment Nationally And Locally

  The recently passed Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act holds promise to address them via an infusion of more than $57 billion to states and localities over the next five years, but more federal funding alone will not solve everything. Federal, state, and local leaders are in a crucial implementation phase to figure out what types of priorities and projects they are going to act on.

• Protecting The Environment And Reducing Cost Through Improved Sludge Quality

  Sassuolo WWTP operators noticed high levels of zinc in generated sludge. Here is how Kando helped prevent metal contamination, allowing the sludge to be applied for agriculture.

• Expanding Industrial Applications For Automation In Pumping

  The Internet of Things (IoT), Industry 4.0, and connectivity in drives is the future, and many market segments must modernize to compete. The world is more connected than ever with new technological advances that produce higher process efficiency and time savings. To stay competitive in this environment, companies must include automated solutions such as remote management, monitoring, and control.
