WASTEWATER MEASUREMENT RESOURCES

• Intelligent Power Starts With Accurate, Actionable Data

  Internet of Things connectivity for circuit protection lays the foundation for system-level intelligence.

• Laboratory Analysis Demystified

  Most people have no idea how critical getting a good sample is, and how hard it is in general to get really good data.  The analytical process for almost anything we test for has so many steps – each of which compounds any deviations or discrepancies made in the previous steps – that it’s vitally important to be as accurate and precise in each step along the way in order to get good, meaningful data in the end.

• FMCW Or ToF? Which Radar Level Technology Is Best For Tank Gauging In Custody Transfer Applications?

  Measuring the level of tanks used to hold fluids for custody transfer can be expensive. This is not due to the cost of the measurement instrumentation, but to what inaccurate measurements can cost the company. Picking the right instrumentation for applications is important. Which radar level technology should you choose for tank gauging in custody transfer applications? Frequency Modulated Continuous Waveform (FMCW) or pulsed Time-of-Flight (ToF or PToF).

• City Of Columbus: Facilities And Safety Training Management

  The City of Columbus entered into a Consent Order with the USEPA to reduce sewer overflows, and 360Water was hired to develop the facilities training and documentation. 

• 3 Dirty Little Secrets About Coriolis Flowmeters

  Ever since Coriolis flow measurement technology achieved mainstream appeal, industry has been fervently striving to take advantage of its benefits. And while Coriolis is clearly a highly advantageous solution for many crucial flow measurement applications, it is not without flaw.

• Computational Fluid Dynamics Hits Its Stride For Water, Wastewater, And Stormwater Treatment

  It took some time for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to find its way to the water industry, but now that it has, a primer is warranted to understand its application.

• Smart Water Networks Will Endure When IoT Bubble Bursts

  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’.

• Applying Data-as-a-Service To The Wastewater Sector

  A major concern with real-time monitoring networks is the accuracy and reliability of data. In 2017, the Smart Water Networks Forum (SWAN) surveyed 23 global water utilities about their Big Data management practices as part of a Water Research Foundation (WRF) study, including their barriers to adoption.

• Rumors, Half-Truths, And Truths About Temperature And pH

  A few months ago I received a call from an angry user who was using one of our differential probes and a controller. Embedded in the probe is a thermistor that measures temperature.

• How Hyper-Detailed Modeling Is Strengthening Worker Safety And Water Infrastructure Resilience

  Water utilities are under mounting pressure to modernize aging infrastructure while keeping budgets under control, forcing owners and contractors to deliver reliable projects with leaner teams, tighter windows, and greater scrutiny. Hyper-detailed modeling is emerging as a critical solution for these challenges.
