• 3 Public Works Professionals Tap Technology To Address Infrastructure Challenges

  The digital revolution has reached our utilities, but not everyone is taking advantage of how it can, for example, make water and wastewater cleaner, healthier, and more efficient. National news media seemingly report daily on U.S. infrastructure, but they rarely get down in the trenches with the public works professionals who are accomplishing so much. Three of them, who are using the Internet of Things (IoT) to better manage critical assets, tell their stories here.

• Case Study: YSI Multiparameter Instruments Assist In Storm Water And Combined Sewer Overflow Monitoring

  The city of Indianapolis, Indiana has been monitoring surface water quality of the White River and its tributaries since 1991. Each year the Indianapolis Office of Environmental Services (OES) collects nearly 6,000 samples from 27 locations. Two specialized programs, Continuous Dissolved Oxygen and Critical DO, are designed to collect data during periods when the potential exists for dissolved oxygen problems
• Abbottstown Retrofitted A Flow-Through System With An AquaSBR® System To Meet Stringent Effluent Requirements

  The Abbottstown-Paradise Joint Sewer Authority was incorporated in 1973 and utilized a continuous flow activated sludge system with an average daily design flow of 0.21 MGD. At that time the plant was only required to reduce total suspended solids (TSS) and effuent ammonia to required levels to serve the area population of about 2000. Due to urban growth and increased storm flow runoffs, the plant was in need of an expansion and upgrade by the late 1990s. 

• What Was The Transcend Design Generator NOT Designed To Do?

  TDG was built to help with streamlining conceptual design practices. However, TDG was NOT designed to do everything.

• Monitor And Control Critical Water Infrastructure In Real-Time

  Discover how Contact Automation deployed a FreeWave solution to transform communications capabilities of Sylvan Lake, Canada's water and wastewater operation. 

• Digitalizing And Automating Non-Value-Added Activities

  This international EPC firm has an annual revenue of over 3 billion USD and 11,000 employees at offices around the United States and globe. They have projects in over 100 countries and continuously release expert reports on the state of the water industry. 

• Custom Water Panel Answers Multiple Water Questions

  A mid-size water system in the southeast was looking to pull together multiple measurements in a single panel. After reviewing off-the-shelf solutions, they realized there was nothing that met their requirements.

• 5 Myths About Advanced Analytics: Busted

  Are these common myths keeping your utility from adopting advanced analytics?

• Four Ways Ignition SCADA Speeds Development

  Have you ever been trapped in “development hell”? If you’ve been involved in developing software applications, you can probably relate to the feeling. Modern technologies offer many promising possibilities for your enterprise, but the actual process of development can feel endless and painful, especially for control engineers or other professionals who may not have extensive training in software development. In this white paper, learn about the development platform.

• WWEMA Window: Fully Automated Chemical Optimization For Drinking Water Treatment Gains Momentum

  Drinking water treatment systems utilize chemical coagulants to assist in mitigating turbidity from surface source waters. In most cases, coagulant consumption is the largest operating cost within a facility. Over the past few years, coagulant prices have increased significantly, putting pressure on utilities to look for ways to reduce chemical consumption. Coagulants rely on certain conditions to perform, namely particle charge, pH, water temperature, turbidity, and organic level. However, the technology to optimize chemical performance is lacking in this industry.
