WASTEWATER MEASUREMENT RESOURCES

• Amazing And Reliable Insights Gathered From Dissolved Oxygen Sensors

  Dissolved oxygen sensor monitoring is critical to making wastewater plants run smoothly and within regulations. Here are some fascinating things people can learn by looking at data from these devices.

• 10 Technologies And Breakthroughs From ACE16

  This year's Annual Conference and Exposition (ACE16), held by the American Water Works Association (AWWA) from June 19 to 22, was the first following the tragedy of Flint — a time when the drinking water industry is under intense scrutiny.

• AI And The Water Sector

  Much has been speculated already about how emerging technologies like Artificial Intelligence can help out many sectors, including the water sector. It might seem like a far-fetched idea for some utilities, but others are already helping to forge this into reality.

• The Water Council Wants To Find Your Next Great Technology

  A new initiative will test the theory that some of the next great water technologies are right under our noses, without us even realizing it.

• The Future Is Here — Just Add Utility

  Water utilities are responsible for one thing above all: supplying safe drinking water to their populations on a daily basis. In light of the recent public health crisis in Flint, MI, utilities have never been under more pressure from the public to perform this service.

• Using UVC LEDs To Develop Cost-Effective, Measurement-Specific Water Quality Sensors

  Rapid industrialization and tightened water quality standards are leading to an increase in global spending on water quality monitoring instrumentation. Spending in this area is projected to grow from $2.5 billion in 2014 to $3.6 billion by 2020, with some 25 percent spent on new, less expensive water quality monitoring sensors that deliver on-the-spot measurements.

• SWAN Corner: Digital Twin At A 45-Year-Old WWTP

  The multi-award-winning Pukete Wastewater Treatment Plant digital twin project takes the complex and very relevant problem of collecting, integrating, and maintaining information about existing asset stock. It breaks this problem down into smaller, palatable chunks and addresses each component of the problem though the implementation of several technologies. This is underpinned by trust and true collaboration between Beca (the consulting team), EcoDomus (software vendor), and Hamilton City Council (the client).

• Nutrient Reduction Improvements Made Easy (And Cheap): Inside The EPA's Guide

  Concerned about potential nutrient discharge from non-advanced treatment plants and the lack of information available to help them combat it, the U.S. EPA has taken matters into their own hands.

• Benefits Of InfoWorks ICM Suite

  InfoWorks ICM is a powerful modeling tool that can be further valued by using RiskMaster and time series databases (TSDB) which are included in the Infoworks ICM Suite.

• Detecting COVID-19 Early Via Wastewater Surveillance

  Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) is the analysis of wastewater to identify the presence of biologicals or chemicals for the purpose of monitoring public health. It can provide a snapshot of entire communities from one sample. Detecting viral diseases by way of wastewater monitoring is nothing new, it’s been known for decades that viral particles can be detected in human feces. WBE has previously been used to detect the presence of pharmaceutical or industrial waste, drugs, viruses, and potential emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. In Israel, a wastewater surveillance program for monitoring polio outbreaks has been successfully running since 1989.
