WASTEWATER MEASUREMENT RESOURCES

• The Future Is Here — Just Add Utility

  Water utilities are responsible for one thing above all: supplying safe drinking water to their populations on a daily basis. In light of the recent public health crisis in Flint, MI, utilities have never been under more pressure from the public to perform this service.

• 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.

• Math Solutions: Alkalinity Calculations

  We know the importance of pH to biological wastewater treatment, but alkalinity should be considered equally important for its direct correlation to pH.

• 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. 

• Forecasting The Top 5 Water Trends In 2016

  As the dawn of 2016 emerges and we look forward to the year ahead, it’s instructive to engage in a little prognostication.

• A Tale Of Two SCADA Conversions

  J.D. Irving, Limited Sawmill Division has invested $70 million in the latest operational equipment as part of their continuous investment in sustainable forest management strategies. In 2015, the company chose VTScada monitoring and control software to replace the aging SCADA systems used in their biomass boiler and trim line processes. Jody Gallant, an Electrical Engineering Technologist for JD Irving describes the some challenges and benefits of implementing a modern industrial SCADA system.

• 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.

• It's About Dam Time: Going Digital Necessary To Support Vital Resource - Water

  Learn how dams play a vital role in supporting the increasing demand for all uses of water. 

• Optimize Performance With Advanced Live Modeling Capabilities

  Significant investments are spent on building and calibrating hydraulic models for planning. Unfortunately, these models often sit isolated from real-time sensor data and provide no value to operations and maintenance divisions. However, we have a solution.

• Overcoming Water Scarcity Challenges On Providenciales Island

  The residents and industries of Providenciales Island are completely dependent on fresh water produced by a single desalination plant. In 2007, ITT Flowtronex was hired to replace the plant’s overworked pumping system and add a booster pumping station to the distribution system. One of the challenges they faced in designing controls for the system was how to maintain the public water supply while the island’s undersized ground water storage tanks were removed and replaced with a large single tank in the same location, a three to four month process.
