• Is It Time To Start Worrying About Treatment Plant Hackers?

  Treatment plant control systems are more vulnerable to computer hacks than ever before. What should utilities be doing to prepare themselves?

• Top 10 Technologies From WEFTEC

  They did it again. Seemingly every year WEFTEC breaks records for size and attendance, and 2014 in New Orleans was no exception. There was a lot to choose from, but I picked my favorite innovations to highlight in what has become another annual tradition — Water Online’s “Top 10” from WEFTEC.

• Aeration Basin Air Flow Monitoring At A Stockholm Wastewater Plant

  At a wastewater treatment plant in Stockholm, Sweden, each aeration basin has several diffuser systems. Each diffuser system requires individual air flow monitoring and independent control. The air flow pipes leading to the diffusers typically do not have much straight run of pipe. This makes accurate measurement of the air flow more difficult. In addition, the air flow coming from the compressors is inconsistent

• California Water District Gains 15% Productivity Using InfoWater And InfoSewer

  When it comes to water quality, water districts are pressured with reducing costs, energy usage, and repairs, all while providing fast and flawless results. This client needed advanced and competitive software to address their planning and management setbacks.

• Denver Water Enhances Operations And Water Quality Studies With Live Modeling

  Denver Water serves 1.4 million people in the city of Denver and the surrounding suburbs. It is the largest — and oldest — water utility in the state of Colorado and its service area covers more than 335 square miles.

• Precise Biogas Flow Measurement

  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.
