• Scalable SCADA: Deploying Ignition In Any Architecture

  The Internet continues to transform the way business is done, industries are in transition, new markets are opening, and consumer habits are shifting. Even if your architecture is working well now, is it scalable enough to adapt to unpredictable changes?

• Water Treatment Plant Data Management Improved With Opworks Web-Based Program

  The City of Eden Prairie, Minnesota recently updated its data management processes at the water treatment plant, with a goal of increased efficiency for everyone from operators to management. The Eden Prairie Water Treatment Plant draws from a groundwater supply to serve a population of 63,000 people, with a total of 18,000 water user connections. The plant primarily uses lime softening for treatment.   

• Case Study: Continuous Online Monitoring Of Nitrate And Sludge Using UV/VIS Spectroscopic Sensor

  Monitoring nitrates, total suspended solids and sludge volume concentrations ensures effluent quality, which is critical for meeting water quality standards for various regulatory agencies. By Endress+Hauser, Inc.

• 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.

• Water And Wastewater Pipeline Infrastructure Opportunities

  There is little doubt that America’s infrastructure is aging, and in some cases, operating well beyond its originally intended lifespan. With labor costs representing up to half of the cost of pipe replacement, the key to cost-effective water and wastewater utility strategies revolves as much around labor-saving installation efficiency as it does around the physical performance of a particular material. Here is a look at historic failure rates, causes, and factors to consider when replacing existing water distribution and sewer networks.

• Factors To Consider For Condition Assessment Of Water And Sewer Systems

  Back in the day, we pretty much had nothing but good ol' CCTV as our primary method of inspecting sewer pipes giving us data to assess their condition; IF the pipe didn't fog up for good video and/or the VHS tape got eaten in the player. Water pipes?

• The Future Of Wastewater: Why Has The U.S. Been So Slow To Adopt AI Tools?

  Wastewater analytics are already being used around the world to monitor contamination, optimize treatment processes, and catch environmental scofflaws. So why has the U.S. been so slow to adopt these technologies?

• Automatic Water Level Controllers: Everything You Should Know

  The sole role of automatic water level controllers is to automatically maintain the reservoir or tank's water level within the range you want. These devices are comprised of a control unit with a pump or valve as per the build-up and sensors. You can find the sensors at different levels, which will help you trace the water level.
• 2018 — The Year Of Smart Wastewater

  2017 was a transformative year for the smart wastewater sector with major industry advancements such as new ways to detect and prevent combined sewer overflows (CSOs), the advent of a smart wastewater pumping system, and the emergence of innovative business models such as data-as-a-service — all bound to gain more traction in 2018.

• 'Far Out' Technology Simplifies Pipeline Leak Detection

  Satellites provide the latest, perhaps most efficient, method for spotting underground leaks, ushering in a new era of non-revenue water management.
