WASTEWATER MEASUREMENT RESOURCES

  • Microorganisms can wreak havoc in industrial processes in a number of ways – from slime formation that causes paper breaks and excessive downtime in papermaking facilities, to costly recalls of spoiled final product. Consequently, an effective microbiological control program, which includes accurate and reliable monitoring, is critical for maintaining an efficient process and final product quality.

  • Using a single programmable controller such as Schneider Electric’s M580 Safety Controller to manage both process and safety systems can help speed up deployment, improve reliability and sustainability of operations, enhance cybersecurity, and support greater productivity and transparency.

  • Automation is a wonder and a dark art to most of the world. Even companies who have large amounts of automation within their own facilities often have misconceptions about how it works.

  • In its latest Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies, leading analyst firm Gartner places the Internet of Things (IoT) at the top of the life cycle phase it calls the ‘Peak of Inflated Expectations’.

  • As more water utilities explore digital transformation, DaaS presents a compelling opportunity to modernize operations while minimizing risk.
  • Bristol Water has provided clean, fresh drinking water to its customers since 1846. For almost 200 years, the health and environment of their communities has remained at the forefront of their values. Today, Bristol Water supplies over 1 million people within Bristol, England, across an area of almost 2,400 square kilometers. Bristol Water’s operations include the abstraction, storage, treatment, and distribution of water to homes, businesses, and other premises. They focus exclusively on water, not wastewater.  

  • Key processes within Water & Wastewater operations can now be digitized. This is good news, especially for an industry under pressure to both lower OPEX and manage an aging workforce. Trends such as the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), cloud computing and “edge” control are emerging as technology engines that present cost-effective options for modernizing operations. When it comes to OPEX reduction, however, technology is what enables plant workers to make the biggest savings impact.

  • If AI can inform decisions, can it also help execute them? For the water sector, this distinction is not just semantic; it is the difference between a digital assistant that takes notes and a digital operator that turns valves.

  • As the water industry continues to walk the road of digital transformation, here’s a step-by-step guide to help utilities keep pace.

  • Digital transformation allows utilities to go from data drought (and actual drought) to a deluge of efficiency, but security is paramount.

  • Understanding The Different Phosphorus Tests

    In wastewater treatment, phosphorus testing can quickly become confusing. For example, there are three different tests. So, which test was performed? Test results can be displayed in two different forms. So, which form was utilized? Tests can measure both particulate and dissolved phosphorus. So, was the sample filtered?

  • Ortho-Phosphate Analyzer

    Introducing the NP6000sc, the latest evolution in Hach® Phosphate Analyzers. As the next evolution in nutrient monitoring, combining the trusted reliability of Phosphax with cutting-edge innovations to address your biggest challenges.

  • Measuring Low Limit Values For Orthophosphate Using The Phosphax Sc Low Range

    Tightening phosphate limits require high-precision monitoring to ensure compliance and economical chemical dosing. Refined photometric methods now offer superior accuracy at ultra-low ranges, providing the stable data necessary to optimize wastewater treatment processes.

  • 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.
