WASTEWATER MEASUREMENT RESOURCES

  • Internet of Things connectivity for circuit protection lays the foundation for system-level intelligence.

  • Most people have no idea how critical getting a good sample is, and how hard it is in general to get really good data.  The analytical process for almost anything we test for has so many steps – each of which compounds any deviations or discrepancies made in the previous steps – that it’s vitally important to be as accurate and precise in each step along the way in order to get good, meaningful data in the end.

  • Measuring the level of tanks used to hold fluids for custody transfer can be expensive. This is not due to the cost of the measurement instrumentation, but to what inaccurate measurements can cost the company. Picking the right instrumentation for applications is important. Which radar level technology should you choose for tank gauging in custody transfer applications? Frequency Modulated Continuous Waveform (FMCW) or pulsed Time-of-Flight (ToF or PToF).

  • The City of Columbus entered into a Consent Order with the USEPA to reduce sewer overflows, and 360Water was hired to develop the facilities training and documentation. 

  • 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.

  • It took some time for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to find its way to the water industry, but now that it has, a primer is warranted to understand its application.

  • In its latest Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies, leading analyst firm Gartner places the Internet of Things (IoT) at the top of the life cycle phase it calls the ‘Peak of Inflated Expectations’.

  • A major concern with real-time monitoring networks is the accuracy and reliability of data. In 2017, the Smart Water Networks Forum (SWAN) surveyed 23 global water utilities about their Big Data management practices as part of a Water Research Foundation (WRF) study, including their barriers to adoption.

  • A few months ago I received a call from an angry user who was using one of our differential probes and a controller. Embedded in the probe is a thermistor that measures temperature.

  • Water utilities are under mounting pressure to modernize aging infrastructure while keeping budgets under control, forcing owners and contractors to deliver reliable projects with leaner teams, tighter windows, and greater scrutiny. Hyper-detailed modeling is emerging as a critical solution for these challenges.

WASTEWATER MEASUREMENT SOLUTIONS

  • Understanding The Different Phosphorus Tests

    In wastewater treatment, phosphorus testing can quickly become confusing. For example, there are three different tests. So, which test was performed? Test results can be displayed in two different forms. So, which form was utilized? Tests can measure both particulate and dissolved phosphorus. So, was the sample filtered?

  • Ortho-Phosphate Analyzer

    Introducing the NP6000sc, the latest evolution in Hach® Phosphate Analyzers. As the next evolution in nutrient monitoring, combining the trusted reliability of Phosphax with cutting-edge innovations to address your biggest challenges.

  • Measuring Low Limit Values For Orthophosphate Using The Phosphax Sc Low Range

    Tightening phosphate limits require high-precision monitoring to ensure compliance and economical chemical dosing. Refined photometric methods now offer superior accuracy at ultra-low ranges, providing the stable data necessary to optimize wastewater treatment processes.

  • XD Spectrophotometers

    The XD 7000 and XD 7500 Spectrophotometers combine a state-of-the-art optical system with ease of use and flexibility for a wide range of water testing applications. 

  • BOD Determination

    The BD 600 is a respirometric system for the determination of Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD). Save time, reduce the potential for errors and easily interpret data to help make process control decisions for your plant.
