WASTEWATER MEASUREMENT RESOURCES

• Hydraulic Modeling Vs. Machine Learning: Using The Right Tool For The Job

  Explore how machine learning works and how it compares to hydraulic modeling.  

• SWAN Corner: Wastewater Components Guide Sewer Investigations

  Extraneous water in the wastewater network is likely to increase as the climate change progresses. Wastewater components can offer key information for water utilities for prioritizing network inspections and renovations, such as CCTV and manhole cover inspections. At the same time, calculating wastewater components out of pumping stations data is a valuable example of how water utilities can extract concrete insights from large data sets.

• Do I Really Need A New Flow Meter?

  If you’re behind on flow meter technology, it’s understandable — wastewater monitoring and measurement devices have come a long way. Here’s your chance to catch up.

• 3 Dirty Little Secrets About Coriolis Flow Meters

  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.

• Optimizing SCADA Data For Operational Inefficiencies Within A Water Distribution System

  As water utilities and companies continue to pursue a digital transformation of their distribution and collection systems, new technologies can help address operational inefficiencies within the distribution network itself and for planning, engineering, operations, and the public.

• A Flight Simulator For Treatment Facilities: The New Frontier For Modeling Complete Treatment Plant Operations

  Inconsistent water availability, reduced capital and operational budgets and tightening regulations are posing real challenges for our water conveyance and treatment infrastructure today.

• Creating More Resilient Communities Through Optimized Drainage Design

  Water is our most valuable resource. Thus, for decades, our government has been concerned with our water systems, particularly with the public safety of clean drinking water and healthy wastewater systems. The latest development in this pursuit is the Drinking Water and Wastewater Infrastructure Act of 2021, section 214 of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), which pertains to improving environmental and public health.
• Safe Water For All: New Advancements In Monitoring Technology

  As water management issues proliferate due to scarcity, contamination, and stricter regulations, monitoring solutions are rising to meet the challenge.
• In-Situ Calibration: Methods And Pitfalls Of Thermal Mass Flow Meter Sensor Field Validation

  Mid-to-large size facilities and campuses inevitably have hundreds of flow instruments to monitor, maintain, and repair. For a reliability engineer, ensuring that all instrumentation meets ISO 9000 or similar standards is a time-consuming responsibility. By Matthew J. Olin, President & CEO, Sierra Instruments, Inc.
