WASTEWATER MEASUREMENT RESOURCES

  • Serving roughly 35,000 people, the Town of Natick Water/Sewer Division remotely monitors 2 water reservoirs, 32 sewer lift stations and 2 drinking water treatment plants. By Chris Little

  • Hmmm … what’s new for 2025? That's asked with a hint of knowing sarcasm, as the incoming presidential administration promises to disrupt the status quo. The change in direction for environmental policy, including impacts on regulations as well as traditional and human infrastructure, has yet to fully reveal itself.
  • 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

  • In 2008, the public utility manager in Ogden City, Utah sent out a request for proposal on a system-wide changeout of its meters, absolute encoders, and radio frequency meter interface units (RF MIUs), with a goal of eliminating estimating and replacing all their meters with AMR technology to read year-round. Read the full case study to learn more.

  • A semiconductor manufacturing facility in France relies on an extensive cooling system to maintain stable conditions throughout their production facilities. The cooling system includes 19 cooling towers and 14 cooling water networks spread over a 135-acre site.

  • Murry & Roberts is a multinational project life cycle group based in South Africa that has been optimizing client's fixed capital investment for more than a century. They have utilized the design generator for the past 2 years to accelerate their entry to market.

  • Automated wastewater treatment systems help manufacturers remain in compliance with EPA and local standards, while significantly reducing the cost of treatment, labor, and disposal.

  • The arrow is pointing up for the water and wastewater industry, thanks to funding and technology advances, but certain work remains to ensure the promise is fulfilled.

  • The city of Laredo, Texas, had been walking to read its 67,543 water meters – 59,138 residential and 8,405 commercial accounts – using a manual method that took up to ten staff on the streets nearly an entire month to read to meet a monthly billing schedule. With the dawn of advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) systems, the City began their search for the right metering solution for the department’s needs.

  • The U.S. EPA has updated the list of approved test procedures that can be used to analyze wastewater for compliance under the Clean Water Act.

WASTEWATER MEASUREMENT SOLUTIONS

  • 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.

  • BOD Determination Of Strongly-Loaded Organic Waste Water With The BOD-OxiDirect

    Strongly loaded organic industrial waste water, i.e. from sugar- or paper-factories, need to be pre-treated before determining the BOD value.

  • Determining Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) With Lovibond® OxiDirect

    The Biochemical Oxygen Demand over a testing period of n days (BODn) is precisely defined and associated with experimental standards. It represents the quantity of oxygen aspirated in the course of aerobic breakdown of organic substances by microorganisms.

  • SLIC Traditional SCADA

    SLIC is the first control system that doesn't need a SCADA server, control panel, integrator, or a babysitter.
