WASTEWATER MEASUREMENT RESOURCES

• JICA Assisted Guwahati Water Supply Project

  The water system for Guwahati, the largest city in the northeastern region of India, was originally built to harness the Brahmaputra River with a gravity-based distribution system. Unregulated development led to water supply problems, as well as high water pressure in 60% of the system. To improve water distribution and the quality of life for residents, NJS Engineers India was tasked with constructing or upgrading water infrastructure throughout the city, including 36 kilometers of transmission mains, 1,155 kilometers of distribution pipes, 1.42 million service connections, a treatment plant, pumping stations, and other infrastructure. Due to the size of the project, NJS needed to combine design, construction management, and hydraulic models into a single platform.

• The Proliferation Of Cyber Threats To Water And Wastewater

  The likelihood of a successful cyber attack against the water and wastewater industry is a direct result of a growing threat landscape. Without appropriate cybersecurity in place, anyone with malicious intent could access the network and contaminate or cease the treatment and distribution of water.

• Louisiana Wastewater Treatment Facility Benefits From Siemens Product Support

  Learn about a municipal wastewater treatment facility located in Louisiana that was having problems with its clamp-on ultrasonic flow meter, and how the issue was resolved. 

• Optimize Performance With Advanced Live Modeling Capabilities

  Significant investments are spent on building and calibrating hydraulic models for planning. Unfortunately, these models often sit isolated from real-time sensor data and provide no value to operations and maintenance divisions. However, we have a solution.

• City Of Shelby, Ohio WWTP Eliminates CSOs While Upgrading To A State-Of-The-Art Facility

  The City of Shelby, Ohio recently upgraded its activated-sludge wastewater treatment plant to double its capacity to 5 MGD, while expanding its capability to treat and disinfect combined high-volume stormwater and wastewater flows generated by wet-weather conditions.

• City of Bend, OR Achieves Cost-Effective Strategies For Water System Upgrades Due To Growth

  Murraysmith used Optimizer to a develop a long-term masterplan for Bend’s water distribution system, to help the city prepare for future population growth. Bend has been experiencing steady population growth over the years, and this growth is not expected to slow down in the foreseeable future. The purpose of this masterplan optimization was to determine the most cost-effective strategy for upgrading the system to be able to prepare for the anticipated future demands.

• Advanced AI Helps Water Treatment Plant Reduce Energy Costs By 15-20%

  A water treatment plant’s operations branch for a North American city is using Emagin AI by Innovyze to reduce the operational expenditure (OPEX) required to deliver high-quality drinking water to its approximately 150,000 residents.

• The Role Of Turbine Flow Meters In Wastewater Treatment Plants

  Wastewater plants are made up of a series of interconnected processes, each one dependent on accurate data. Turbine flow meters can be installed at several stages to provide operators with real-time, trustworthy flow information.
• Cincinnati's “Smart Sewer” Reduces Overflows And Cuts Costs

  The Metropolitan Sewer District of Greater Cincinnati needed to increase existing sewer system efficiency to address a federal mandate to keep raw sewage mixed with stormwater out of waterways when it rains. Here's how they did it.

• WWEMA Window: 3-D Imagery As A Workforce Recruitment Tool

  Why does our industry not seem to attract both a large number and highly skilled new talent like other industries do? I contend that as an industry we must do everything possible to sell ourselves and the important mission we fulfill, and what better way to do this than to wave the technology flag?
