• A Redefined Edge For Agentic AI: Converging Compute And Networking

  Artificial intelligence is entering a new phase with agentic AI: autonomous systems that perceive, decide, act, and learn without constant human oversight, operating independently across distributed environments while collaborating with other agents in real time. This shift demands a fundamental rethinking of WAN infrastructure architecture.
• 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.

• Math Solutions Explained: Calculate Food-to-Microorganism (F-M) Ratio

  The food-to-microorganism (F-M) ratio is a process control numeric value advantageous to determine the proper number of microorganisms for the biological treatment process. The solution of calculating F-M ratio uses the influent volume of wastewater into an activated sludge system (flow MGD), incoming carbonaceous biochemical oxygen demand (CBOD) (mg/L) concentration into the aeration tank, mixed liquor volatile suspended solids (MLVSS) concentration (mg/L), and quantity (in gallons) of the respective aeration system.

• Understanding The Value of Instrumentation In The Water Industry

  As long as instrumentation is selected, installed, commissioned, and maintained properly the data that it can give is invaluable to the water industry. 

• A Practical Framework To Improve The Management Of Cyanide In Industrial Wastewaters

  Understanding your detection needs when it comes to free cyanide can help you choose the most suitable detection method.

• SWAN Corner: How Artificial Intelligence Can Mitigate Water Workforce Issues

  The loss of expert know-how, already a problem for years, has been made worse due to the pandemic. A network of expertise, optimized by artificial intelligence, may be the way to get ahead of the problem.

• Protecting Critical Infrastructure With Real-Time GIS Data

  Critical infrastructure deserves real-time monitoring. With a service territory of 2,000 square miles in the center of southwestern Pennsylvania, the Municipal Authority of Westmoreland County (MAWC) directly serves 130,000 customers with water and wastewater services. MAWC also serves other water utilities, heavy industry companies, and a power production plant. With a fleet of over 300 vehicles and 2,500 miles of underground assets, MAWC keeps track of its real-time data using Esri's ArcGIS® GeoEvent™ Server.

• Forecasting The Top 5 Water Trends In 2016

  As the dawn of 2016 emerges and we look forward to the year ahead, it’s instructive to engage in a little prognostication.

• What Are The Benefits Of The Digital Twin For Water?

  A Digital Twin is a virtual replica of a physical asset that is updated in real-time via a two-way data connection and, as such, representative of its live characteristics.

• P3 Funding For Green Infrastructure And How To Limit Risk

  Public-Private Partnerships (P3) have been a popular funding mechanism for public works projects around the world since the late 1980s. More recently, P3 programs have been initiated to help address water quality concerns related to stormwater by providing funding for stormwater retrofits and the development of green infrastructure throughout a municipality, and has become a promoted method for funding these projects by the USEPA.
