WASTEWATER MEASUREMENT RESOURCES

  • The water sector is undergoing structural shifts that will demand changes to the way in which we operate if we are to meet our water challenges in the future.  Water volatility is increasing. 

  • Global demand for power and water is accelerating — and the Middle East is no exception. A burgeoning population combined with multiple industrial diversification programs is fueling a boom in power and water projects. During the first three quarters of 2017, about US$30 billion of major power contracts and US$20 billion of water projects were awarded across the region. In 2018, the figure is looking more like $60 billion with the two sectors combined.

  • Real-time contaminant detection, featuring a network of sensors throughout the distribution network, is poised to revolutionize the water industry.

  • Digitalization of the municipal water treatment industry is fragmented today, with instrumentation, control, and automation technologies mixed with manual operational activities. Such infrastructures can be detrimental in cases of hydro-geological events, such as severe storms and earthquakes. The good news: When natural disasters strike, digitalization can help get municipal water treatment back online quickly and effectively.

  • Organizations with geographically dispersed assets, such as those in the water/wastewater utility industries, are continuously developing and implementing new ways to monitor and control all aspects of their business.

  • The U.S. water utility sector stands at a critical juncture, facing a confluence of challenges that demand innovative and strategic responses. Aging infrastructure, escalating operational costs, and the persistence of data silos are placing immense pressure on these essential service providers. To navigate this complex landscape and ensure the continued delivery of safe and reliable water services, a fundamental shift towards proactive, data-driven approaches is not just beneficial but essential.
  • It’s important to start with the fact that this is not a regulatory test. This technology won’t replace any required compliance tests and the results are not reportable, which is actually a great benefit to our users. While regulatory testing is important, compliant does not necessarily mean clean.

  • Employing roughly 5,000 workers in 12 countries, Vandemoortele bakery and production plant owes its success to high standards of quality, innovative production technologies, and a flair for finding economic alternatives. The latest example is the SITRANS FC430 Coriolis flow meter.

  • Many thermal mass flow meters are of the insertion type. As a starting point, proper insertion depth and straight run per the manufacturer’s recommendations should be adhered to.

  • It was reported in Verizon’s 2016 Data Breach Digest that a hacktivist group associated with Syria hacked into an anonymous water utility’s control system and changed the levels of chemicals being used to treat tap water. An unnamed water district, dubbed the Kemuri Water Company (KWC), experienced unexplained patterns of valve and duct movements over at least a period of 60 days.

WASTEWATER MEASUREMENT SOLUTIONS

  • Panametrics Achieves Challenging Wastewater Flow Measurement On A Lined Ductile Iron Pipe

    A municipal wastewater plant in North America sought a reliable flow measurement for one of their key wastewater lines. The existing dual-channel ultrasonic flowmeter from a competitor had consistently failed to provide accurate readings.

  • Cleaner Water With Liquid Ai™

    Every time we open a tap, we trust the water is safe to use. It is easy to forget that we only enjoy this luxury because of monitoring systems, tirelessly working in the background and warning water companies of every anomaly. Likewise, wastewater also needs to be continuously monitored to avoid pollution.

  • TransPort PT900

    What happens when you combine the proven track record of the TransPort® PT878 (TransPort PT900’s powerful predecessor) with the latest technology? You get performance, productivity, and a better user experience. The TransPort is the next evolution, and it’s here to make your job easier than ever.

  • AquaTrans™ AT600

    The AquaTrans AT600 liquid flow ultrasonic transmitter combines state-of-the-art flow measurement capability with a low-cost transmitter package that can be installed right at the process measurement point. It’s designed specifically for water and wastewater applications in full pipes. The all-digital AquaTrans AT600 has no moving parts and requires minimal maintenance.

  • DPS5000 SDI-12 Digital Pressure Sensing Platform

    The DPS5000 SDI-12 from Druck, part of the UNIK5000 family, offers integrated digital electronics to enhance the performance level of the UNIK 5000 Pressure Sensing Platform to levels unmatched by traditional analogue sensors. It uses SDI-12 protocol, over which fully compensated readings of pressure and temperature are sent, as well as control of many functions of the device.
