WASTEWATER MEASUREMENT RESOURCES

• 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.

• Digitalization In The Water Industry: Look How Far We've Come

  Every once in a while, I hear someone saying that digitalization, or going digital, is the next big thing in the water industry. Don't look now, but digitalization is here; and it has been for a few decades.
• Instrumentation And Digital Transformation

  Whether you call it Digital Transformation, Water 4.0, or Smart Water, the water industry as a whole is changing drastically in the way that it operates. If you ask a dozen people what these buzzwords mean, you will naturally get a dozen answers. It is because the Digital Transformation of the water industry is different for different people and for different operational and management aspects of what is done to produce water, distribute it to customers, collect it, treat it, and put it back to the environment.

• The 4 Pillars Of Control Room Operator Effectiveness

  With more water and wastewater utilities, as well as industrial facilities, moving toward digitalization, it’s important to understand the needs of data gatekeepers and decision-makers to set them up for success.

• Field And Office Technologies Improve Stormwater Systems

  Although the city of Bozeman, Montana’s stormwater system has been silently producing front-page news for decades, it has typically only flowed into the spotlight because of an incident or an emergency.

• City Of Atlanta Reduces Cost Of Existing LTCP By $65M Through Multi-Objective Analysis

  The City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management (the City) engaged Optimatics and Stantec Consulting to develop optimized Long-Term Control Plans (LTCPs) for three of their sewersheds using the Optimizer platform. The City of Atlanta DWM is a large utility in the Atlanta area, servicing 1.2 million customers. The utility places strong emphasis on sustainable stormwater management practices and utilizes green infrastructure throughout its networks.

• Successful Implementation Of IWLive Pro At Australian Water Utility

  An Australian water utility that provides water and sewer services to more than 1.5 million customers needed to assess the impact of changes to their water network. The utility developed a hydraulic model designed to lower operational risks and ensure continuous supply during asset maintenance or fluctuating demands.

• New Study Reveals Gaps In The Methods Used To Assess Chemicals In Oilfield Wastewater

  A new study led by researchers with Colorado School of Mines exposes limitations with the current methods used to detect chemicals in oilfield wastewater and offers solutions to help regulators make better decisions for managing this waste stream.

• Sounding The Alarm: How To Enable Efficient Infrastructure Surveillance And Response

  With SCADA and an upgraded remote alarm notification system, North Port Utilities in Florida can keep ‘eyes’ on operations even when workers are off — out of sight but never out of touch.

• Automation Solutions For Fixed-Bed Filters

  Handwheel or automated process valve? The worldwide trend is clearly moving towards automation, because it reduces energy and water consumption, especially rinsing water, and increases plant availability. Pneumatic automation of a fixed-bed filter is a good example of this.
