WASTEWATER MEASUREMENT RESOURCES

• California Water District Gains 15% Productivity Using InfoWater And InfoSewer

  When it comes to water quality, water districts are pressured with reducing costs, energy usage, and repairs, all while providing fast and flawless results. This client needed advanced and competitive software to address their planning and management setbacks.

• HRSD Gains New Operational Awareness To Improve Wastewater Operations

  In southeastern Virginia, Hampton Roads Sanitation District (HRSD) handles wastewater treatment for 1.7 million people in 20 cities and counties. Sea-level rise, unusually high tides, and extreme storms prompted a $1.2 billion program—the Sustainable Water Initiative for Tomorrow (SWIFT) that involves replenishing the Potomac aquifer with up to 100 million gallons of SWIFT Water (water treated to meet drinking water standards and matched to the existing groundwater chemistry in the aquifer) per day, an action that may slow or reduce the impact of sea level rise by slowing land settling, or subsidence.

• Smart Networks Are The Answer. What's The Question?

  Water utilities around the globe face the same challenges: increasing population, urbanization, and more frequent extreme weather events. New supply to meet increasing demand is very expensive. Changing customer behavior to reduce demand is very difficult. The question is how to get more from existing infrastructure.

• The Advantages Of Automating Wastewater Treatment

  Wastewater treatment operations are beginning to embrace the power of automation. How can it help? And how is it implemented?

• Helping Detroit Get The Lead Out

  Learn how the Kresge Foundation promotes efficient and equitable lead abatement efforts by supporting the use of BlueConduit's machine learning technology. 

• Math Solutions: Mixed Liquor Volatile Suspended Solids (MLVSS) Calculations

  Wastewater consultant and trainer Dan Theobald (“Wastewater Dan”) dives deeper into the activated sludge process with calculations focused on MLVSS.

• How Contractors Maximise Productivity And Efficiency

  In many regions contractors and sub-contractors carry out essential work on behalf of water utilities to safely refurbish, repair, and maintain assets in the field.  This increases the importance of an efficient workflow between all parties to share the status of their water, wastewater, and other assets (such as pipes, pumps, valves and drainage structures) with maintenance crews, consultants, and contractors so that everyone can access the same up-to-date information. 

• How To Save Time & Money By Calibrating Flow Meters Onsite

  If you have hundreds of mass flow controllers and meters or just a few in your lab, facility, or manufacturing process, how do you keep up with the demands of annual recalibration?

• Versatility Of Thermal Mass Flow Meters

  There are many well documented flow meter technologies that are essentially trying to accomplish the same thing: measure fluid flow rate. Some of the technologies that are entrenched in the market, such as flow meters that utilize differential pressure as the measurement principle, are well understood by customers. Thermal mass flow meters however, such as the Magnetrol® Thermatel® TA2, are a rapidly growing technology that is continuously evolving.

• Math Solutions: More Flow Rate Conversion Calculations

  This edition of Water Online’s “Math Solutions” series, presented by wastewater consultant and trainer Dan Theobald (“Wastewater Dan”), instructs operators on flow rate conversion calculations.
