WASTEWATER MEASUREMENT RESOURCES

• SWAN Corner: When It Comes To Digital Twins, AI, And Advanced Algorithms, Don't Forget The Data!

  In the water and wastewater industry today, magazine articles, conference papers, and advertising featuring Big Data, artificial intelligence, and machine learning (AI/ML) are everywhere. While most organizations are still evaluating the various technologies and vendors, the real and achievable benefits are generally accepted. 

• From Insight To Output: How Digital Solutions Can Advance Industrial Water Management

  Smart water management is not just a moral responsibility; it’s also a business imperative. Without insights and analytics that empower organizations to act quickly to reach optimal water performance, enterprises stand to lose billions of dollars in asset, water, energy, and operating efficiency.

• 10 Water-Tech Winners From WEFTEC 2017

  For the second straight year, the Water Environment Federation Exhibition and Conference (WEFTEC) came to McCormick Place in Chicago, returning also to the city which launched WEFTEC 90 years ago. As always, it was a showcase of the latest technologies and ideas available in the water/wastewater industry, but each show also has its own "feel" that reflects the times.

• The Transcend Design Generator Is Secretly An Advanced Data Analytics Software Package

  The conceptual design output you get from the TDG will inherently have value -- the TDG already saved time and effort in creating the resulting conceptual design compared to traditional design approaches.

• Understanding ISE Measurements In Wastewater Process Monitoring

  Analytic measuring technique provides a huge number of procedures to determine the concentrations of substances in an unknown sample, e.g. photometry, titration or mass spectrometry.

• Leveraging ddPCR Technology For Accurate Wastewater Surveillance Testing

  At this stage in the COVID-19 pandemic, where disease levels are diminishing in several parts of the U.S., authorities seeking to detect and isolate new outbreaks have found it best to transition from a triage-based clinical testing strategy to a broad surveillance strategy. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has turned to wastewater testing for surveillance because this form of community-based testing allows authorities to detect spikes in viral levels in a community days before individuals experience clinical symptoms while encompassing the part of the population that is asymptomatic or hesitant to be tested.

• Bringing Efficiency And Confidence To Wastewater Analysis

  Maintaining the quality of wastewater (WW) effluent is more important than ever before, as municipalities deal with aging treatment systems, budget restrictions, and evolving compliance standards. As a result, water professionals need accurate and efficient tools to check water safety in the lab and in the field to determine levels of chemicals such as sodium, chloride, calcium, fluoride and ammonia, as well as pH, conductivity, and dissolved oxygen.

• Florida's Largest Public Utility Recovers One Billion Gallons Of Unaccounted-For Water

  Learn how Sensus Omni Meters, a rigorous testing program, and infrastructure upgrades saved a utility time and money. 

• All-in-One SCADA

  Serving roughly 35,000 people, the Town of Natick Water/Sewer Division remotely monitors 2 water reservoirs, 32 sewer lift stations and 2 drinking water treatment plants. By Chris Little

• Wastewater Lab Selection And Sampling Best Practices

  Sending samples out still requires a level of responsibility and competency. Follow these steps to ensure accurate water quality analysis.
