WASTEWATER MEASUREMENT RESOURCES

• Making Your Old SCADA System New Again

  When it comes time to update, it's a prime opportunity to consider switching over to new software that offers improved functionality instead of dumping more money into just keeping your existing software up-to-date.

• Measuring Organic Load: Is BOD Still A Relevant Measure In The Modern Water Industry?

  Biochemical oxygen demand, or BOD, is probably one of the most- and least-known parameters in the wastewater industry.

• Carbon Dioxide For pH Control Of Landfill Leachate

  A landfill operator’s leachate treatment plant in Missouri required pH reduction following lime-softening and prior to the biological wastewater treatment process. Carbon dioxide (CO2) was chosen as a substitute for sulfuric acid due to improved process control and a reduced tendency to form scale.

• Is Water 4.0 The Future?

  Water 4.0 is a concept that has recently been raised as the “future” of the water industry …possibly. Apart from being a paraphrase of Industry 4.0, the questions have to be asked: What is it, and what does it have to do with the way the water industry operates in its current state?

• Dripping Springs Water Supply Corp. Installs A VTScada System

  Serving a suburb of the Greater Austin Metropolitan Area, Dripping Springs Water Supply Corporation (DSWSC) recently decided to replace their Wonderware and WIN-911 system with VTScada, with the help of Austin area integrator, Central Texas Water Maintenance (CTWM).

• Troubleshooting Nitrification And Denitrification In Wastewater

  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

• Upcoming Standards And Compliance Regarding Lead-Free Requirements
