WASTEWATER MEASUREMENT RESOURCES

• Seizing The Digital Opportunity For Water

  The journey toward intelligent water can be expedited with eight key steps — a guideline for gliding through the Digital Water Adoption Curve.

• How Can The Water Industry Benefit From IoT Technology?

  The technology of the Internet of Things (IoT) has been a pioneer in developing solutions that are rich in monitoring, analytical, and automation features. These innovative features allow the industry to optimize operational methodologies, boost overall equipment effectiveness, and automate processes that are generally performed manually.

• Smooth Sailing At Bloomington/Normal Southeast Wastewater Treatment Plant

  When the Bloomington-Normal Southeast Wastewater Treatment Plant won a 2018 Plant of the Year award from the Illinois Association of Water Pollution Control Operators, team members were ecstatic. Randy Stein, executive director and sports fan, likened it to winning the “Stanley Cup of wastewater.” On its way to the award (in Group 1 for plants larger than 7.5 mgd), the plant racked up 12 consecutive Gold Peak Performance Awards from the National Association of Clean Water Agencies. 

• Ultrasonic And Radar Level Technologies: Bringing Clarity To The Water And Wastewater Market

  If your head spins after reading how amazing one level measurement technology is in comparison to another, understanding the key attributes of these technologies and their applicability to specific processes may help to clear the waters.

• Ultrasonic vs. Radar In The Water Industry

  In recent years, the debate about which technology is best suited for level monitoring and open channel monitoring (OCM) applications has taken some traction. There are those who argue that ultrasonic level technology has been uncontested as the standard for level and OCM applications in the water industry. The counter-argument is that radar technology is more effective because it is more robust and accurate than ultrasonic technology.

  Explore how the Sensus Pressure Profile Software Application saved time and resources for an Albuquerque Water Utility. 

• Simulating A Cure For Brain Drain

  Much has been made of the gap in knowledge to come when the water industry’s aging workforce reaches retirement. With advances in simulation training software capable of getting new employees familiar with plant processes, it may be an analog fear in the digital world.

• WWEMA Window: The Basics Of SCADA Troubleshooting

  Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems are easily classified as one of the greatest data acquisition methods to have ever been invented.

• How To Approach Cybersecurity With Confidence

  As digitalization continues to grow in the water and wastewater industry, cybersecurity becomes an increasingly important responsibility.

• Filter Membrane Predictive Maintenance

  At manufacturing operations using ultrafiltration systems, the ultrafiltration membranes are used for numerous batches without replacement, using Clean-In-Place (CIP) operations in between batches to maintain filter performance. However, ineffective CIP cycles or long-term fouling or degradation of the filter membrane can result in increased cycle times to move the desired amount of product through the filter, lost yield as the product is unable to permeate the filter, or poor product quality as membrane failure may occur.
