WASTEWATER MEASUREMENT RESOURCES

• How Big Is Big Data Among Water Utilities?

  A survey of water utilities conducted by Black & Veatch reveals to what degree and how rapidly (or not) data analytics are being implemented in the real world.

• A Better Way To Back Up SCADA

  Learn how server architecture can automatically back up your whole supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system.

• Harnessing The Power Of Data For On-Time And On-Budget Water Projects

  When it comes to designing and constructing water and wastewater treatment plants, predictable outcomes are a crucial element for project management teams. Accurately monitoring a project’s schedule and budget is critical to successful delivery.

• 5 Innovations In Cyber-Water

  Just because water has been around since before the Stone Age doesn’t mean it’s immune to evolution. Here are five ways that water is getting swept up in the future.

• ABB Ability: Our Offering For Power Plants

  ABB provides an extensive selection of proven measurement and analytical products and solutions for power generation industry applications.

• 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.

• The Instrumentation Life-Cycle And Instrumentation Systems Within The UK Water Industry: From Concept To Replacement

  The water industry in the UK faces a turning point in the use of instrumentation with the advent of TOTEX (capital expenditures [CAPEX] + operating expenditures [OPEX]) within the current Asset Management Period, the sixth since it privatized in 1989.

• How Contractors Maximise Productivity And Efficiency

  In many regions contractors and sub-contractors carry out essential work on behalf of water utilities to safely refurbish, repair, and maintain assets in the field.  This increases the importance of an efficient workflow between all parties to share the status of their water, wastewater, and other assets (such as pipes, pumps, valves and drainage structures) with maintenance crews, consultants, and contractors so that everyone can access the same up-to-date information. 

• What Benefits Do Variable Frequency Drives Offer For Pump Control?

  People working with water infrastructure or handling other industrial needs may choose variable frequency drives (VFDs) for better pump control options. This approach relies on a component that alters the frequency and voltage received by the pump motor, thereby changing its speed and torque. Here are some of the benefits of VFDs.

• Automation 101: The 7 Habits Of Highly Automatable Systems

  When we automate, we are really just mechanizing individual tasks, controlling that task with some form of computerization, and linking those tasks together in what is called system integration.
