WASTEWATER MANAGEMENT RESOURCES

• Harnessing The Power Of Oxidation-Reduction Potential For Smarter Wastewater Management

  “Potential” is in the name. Here’s what wastewater managers should know about both the benefits and challenges of ORP as an agent of process control.

• Interoperability Unlocked: How Connected Systems Will Power Water's Future

  The full potential of smart water infrastructure is within reach — if our digital systems work together and share critical data.

• Smarter Pumps, Lower Emissions: The Digital Reinvention Of San Jose Water

  Pumps are power-hungry and thus expensive to run, but San Jose Water shows how data-driven technologies and strategies can bring the cost down for utilities.

• Unlocking The Potential Of Digital Pressure Transmitters

  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.

• Optimization Of Wastewater Treatment Plant Processes With The Help Of AI

  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.

• Storm-Proofing Wastewater Infrastructure: Strategies To Protect Coastal Cities

  When evaluating how to best prepare a city for climate threats, consider lessons from past extreme weather events and evaluate how to apply these lessons to infrastructure challenges. Coastal cities can act now to protect their infrastructure against future risks.

• Acoustic Inspection As A Solution For Rural Water

  To improve efficiency, a Virginia utility adopted acoustic inspection technology (SL-RAT) in 2018, enabling a shift to condition-based maintenance.

• UV Treatment Upgrades In Wales

  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.

• AI Could Solve America's Infrastructure Problem. Institutions Need To Let Engineers Use It.

  The state of America’s crumbling infrastructure continues to be a perennial concern as the scale of the problem continually outpaces both the funding and the human resources needed to solve it. Engineers have the solution — AI systems that offer unprecedented speed and potential cost savings — but to leverage its full potential, engineers need to take on a new role — and potentially a new business model.

• Managing Localized Flooding And Combined Sewer Overflows

  The public tends to forget about underground infrastructure until systems are stressed or capacity is exceeded and it doesn’t perform as intended. In combined sewer systems, sometimes this results in localized flooding, which can pose hazards to human health, water quality, and the environment, and create financial burdens for utilities.
