WASTEWATER MEASUREMENT RESOURCES

  • The water industry's greatest technology trend is also one with scattershot levels of adoption, but that can change with proper understanding of the purpose for and pathway toward Digital Water.
  • The Prince William County Service Authority supplies clean water and superior service to a large and ever-growing metropolitan population. The Service Authority owns and maintains more than 2,300 miles of pipeline distributing up to 56 million gallons of water a day and treating 43 million gallons of wastewater a day for approximately 350,000 people. 

  • The City of Columbus entered into a Consent Order with the USEPA to reduce sewer overflows, and 360Water was hired to develop the facilities training and documentation. 

  • New tools are being developed for worst-case drinking water scenarios: chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN)-related contamination.

  • The proper tools are essential to fixing any problem. Over the years, Ohio EPA’s Compliance Assistance Unit (CAU) has helped dozens of water resource recovery facilities (WRRF) get back into and maintain compliance with NPDES discharge permits. Their field toolkit has included an assortment of batch sampling kits and handheld instruments. Each tool had its place but each also had limitations and, as a result, the compliance puzzle often was missing important pieces. Increasingly, as nutrient limits were incorporated into discharge permits, the missing piece was characterizing the dynamics of nitrification and denitrification. By Patrick Higgins

  • At a wastewater treatment plant in Stockholm, Sweden, each aeration basin has several diffuser systems. Each diffuser system requires individual air flow monitoring and independent control. The air flow pipes leading to the diffusers typically do not have much straight run of pipe. This makes accurate measurement of the air flow more difficult. In addition, the air flow coming from the compressors is inconsistent

  • FreeWave Technologies sees the Internet of Things pushing the bounds of possibility, disrupting traditional business models.

  • A Digital Twin is a virtual replica of a physical asset that is updated in real-time via a two-way data connection and, as such, representative of its live characteristics.

  • The movie and sports term has infiltrated the business world and has important implications for the water/wastewater industry.

  • The water industry is seeing greater adoption of advanced technology, data analytics, and predictive modeling to enhance operational efficiency, improve equipment reliability, and ensure sustainability. These technology interventions need a concerted effort that considers people, processes, and technology to establish operational success after the planning phase.

WASTEWATER MEASUREMENT SOLUTIONS

  • Understanding The Different Phosphorus Tests

    In wastewater treatment, phosphorus testing can quickly become confusing. For example, there are three different tests. So, which test was performed? Test results can be displayed in two different forms. So, which form was utilized? Tests can measure both particulate and dissolved phosphorus. So, was the sample filtered?

  • Ortho-Phosphate Analyzer

    Introducing the NP6000sc, the latest evolution in Hach® Phosphate Analyzers. As the next evolution in nutrient monitoring, combining the trusted reliability of Phosphax with cutting-edge innovations to address your biggest challenges.

  • Measuring Low Limit Values For Orthophosphate Using The Phosphax Sc Low Range

    Tightening phosphate limits require high-precision monitoring to ensure compliance and economical chemical dosing. Refined photometric methods now offer superior accuracy at ultra-low ranges, providing the stable data necessary to optimize wastewater treatment processes.

  • XD Spectrophotometers

    The XD 7000 and XD 7500 Spectrophotometers combine a state-of-the-art optical system with ease of use and flexibility for a wide range of water testing applications. 

  • BOD Determination

    The BD 600 is a respirometric system for the determination of Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD). Save time, reduce the potential for errors and easily interpret data to help make process control decisions for your plant.
