WASTEWATER MEASUREMENT RESOURCES

  • Discover how a design-build project provided a turnkey solution in quick fashion. 

  • The Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC) has adopted the use of Optimatics' Optimizer platform in its Asset Management Program decision making process. WSSC is leveraging algorithms, intelligent automation, and the computational cloud provided by Optimizer to simultaneously balance risk, cost, and hydraulic performance objectives for mains renewal alternative options.

  • At manufacturing operations using ultrafiltration systems, the ultrafiltration membranes are used for numerous batches without replacement, using Clean-In-Place (CIP) operations in between batches to maintain filter performance. However, ineffective CIP cycles or long-term fouling or degradation of the filter membrane can result in increased cycle times to move the desired amount of product through the filter, lost yield as the product is unable to permeate the filter, or poor product quality as membrane failure may occur.

  • Bbanda is a small rural village of about 1,100 people in southern central Uganda, located 45 minutes from the closest town of Mityana. There is no electricity or reliable source of drinking water. But thanks to the work of some engineering students, that’s about to change.

  • Storm water runoff from a 37-acre coal storage yard utilized as part of daily operations at an industrial site in Southwestern Pennsylvania posed a problem when the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) updated the facility’s NPDES permit.

  • United Utilities (UU) partnered with Optimatics to develop a Sustainable Drainage System (SuDS) Optimization process for flood reduction using the Optimizer platform. They used Optimizer to identify the best overall combination of SuDS conveyance, and storage strategies to solve flooding problems for a wide range of potential scenarios. UU sought to understand the optimal solution between full flooding resolution and partial flooding resolution for a 10-, 20-, and 30-year event, testing SuDS cost sensitivities to measure the impact of a sustainable investment.

  • The data center industry is uniquely positioned to develop innovative solutions that drive collective action for meaningful water stewardship.

  • Optimatics teamed with SUEZ SEVESC, to reduce the frequency and severity of combined sewer overflow (CSO) events in Western Paris. This optimization effort focused on determining optimal modifications to existing CSO control structures, in order to reduce CSOs across the western Paris network. The investigation focused on low cost intervention options.

  • As oil prices remain high, we are in the midst of a nation-wide initiative to seek renewable sources of energy to increase energy efficiency and energy security. Renewable energy accounted for 13.2% of the domestically produced electricity in 2012. Among the sources of renewable energy is the production of biogas from landfill gas (LFG) or digester gas.

  • Professionals interested in smart water treatment often explore how Internet of Things (IoT) sensors can get them closer to their goals. These devices track data in real time, revealing how leaders should optimize their processes. What are some potential benefits associated with applying IoT technologies?

WASTEWATER MEASUREMENT SOLUTIONS

  • Panametrics Achieves Challenging Wastewater Flow Measurement On A Lined Ductile Iron Pipe

    A municipal wastewater plant in North America sought a reliable flow measurement for one of their key wastewater lines. The existing dual-channel ultrasonic flowmeter from a competitor had consistently failed to provide accurate readings.

  • Cleaner Water With Liquid Ai™

    Every time we open a tap, we trust the water is safe to use. It is easy to forget that we only enjoy this luxury because of monitoring systems, tirelessly working in the background and warning water companies of every anomaly. Likewise, wastewater also needs to be continuously monitored to avoid pollution.

  • TransPort PT900

    What happens when you combine the proven track record of the TransPort® PT878 (TransPort PT900’s powerful predecessor) with the latest technology? You get performance, productivity, and a better user experience. The TransPort is the next evolution, and it’s here to make your job easier than ever.

  • AquaTrans™ AT600

    The AquaTrans AT600 liquid flow ultrasonic transmitter combines state-of-the-art flow measurement capability with a low-cost transmitter package that can be installed right at the process measurement point. It’s designed specifically for water and wastewater applications in full pipes. The all-digital AquaTrans AT600 has no moving parts and requires minimal maintenance.

  • DPS5000 SDI-12 Digital Pressure Sensing Platform

    The DPS5000 SDI-12 from Druck, part of the UNIK5000 family, offers integrated digital electronics to enhance the performance level of the UNIK 5000 Pressure Sensing Platform to levels unmatched by traditional analogue sensors. It uses SDI-12 protocol, over which fully compensated readings of pressure and temperature are sent, as well as control of many functions of the device.

WASTEWATER MEASUREMENT VIDEOS

In this episode of The Water Online Show, host Angela Godwin sits down with Mike Saunders from ORENCO to explore how a small Oregon startup founded in a garage grew into an industry leader redefining decentralized wastewater solutions.
