WASTEWATER MEASUREMENT RESOURCES

  • To improve pump maintenance and service to 418,000 in and around Wellington, Wellington Water trialed Info360 Insight from Autodesk as part of a solution with Stantec.

  • 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. By Patrick Vowell, Water Quality Engineer, Golden State Water Company

  • Water and wastewater utilities can get stuck in a cycle of upgrading their legacy operational technology systems. Here’s how to break that cycle.

  • While utilities use sophisticated systems to supply clean water as well as collect and treat wastewater, the effort to manage incidents and outages leaves room for improvement. Water utilities often rely on manual processes to handle customer reports of leaks, loss-of-service or quality issues.

  • I became interested in water and the Internet of Things (IoT) several years ago when I had a below groundwater leak at home that resulted in a large water bill. Since I live in the Silicon Valley, CA, the high tech capital of the world, I thought there should be a better way to track water usage so problems can be identified and solved sooner.

  • It seems that everywhere that you go in the water industry at the current time, somebody is talking about digital transformation…or if we go back five minutes, it was Water 4.0…and 10 minutes ago (it seems), it was “smart water.” These are all very well used buzzwords that the industry is destined to think about for a short-term and then promptly forget about. In reality, though, we as an industry have been hit by a number of different concepts for a number of different technological aspects for a good number of years now. For almost as long we have had a term for all of this — “widgets.”

  • As critical gateways to the Internet of things (IoT), sensors are sure to have a massive social and economic impact globally within the next decade.

  • Public-Private Partnerships (P3) have been a popular funding mechanism for public works projects around the world since the late 1980s. More recently, P3 programs have been initiated to help address water quality concerns related to stormwater by providing funding for stormwater retrofits and the development of green infrastructure throughout a municipality, and has become a promoted method for funding these projects by the USEPA.   

  • LVVWD uses Optimatics software to manage assets and intelligently plan their pipe replacement and renewal programs by optimizing capital cost, business risk exposure, and hydraulic performance. Like many utilities, LVVWD faces a number of different challenges when considering asset renewal and replacement strategies.

  • Getting systems online is tough enough without unnecessary alarms and shutdowns, but the safety and visibility of operations are also paramount. During the commissioning process, balance is critical.

WASTEWATER MEASUREMENT SOLUTIONS

  • SLIC Traditional SCADA

    SLIC is the first control system that doesn't need a SCADA server, control panel, integrator, or a babysitter.

  • wastewaterOS

    wastewaterOS unifies costs, data, maintenance, training, lab results, and automation into one AI-driven platform. It doesn't just monitor; it runs your plant smarter. 

  • MD50 COD

    The MD50 COD is a next generation compact, single parameter photometer for the measurement Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD). The MD50 is an advanced successor to the MD100 COD photometer, offering improved accuracy, enhanced user experience, and expanded testing capabilities. 

  • TB350

    Ideal for field and environmental testing, the TB 350 turbidity meter delivers the most reliable measurements for low range to high range samples without sacrificing accuracy.

  • MD50 Chlorine Colorimeter, LR/HR

    The MD50 Chlorine LR/HR Colorimeter combines a simple user interface with advanced optics to deliver the accurate and reliable results municipal and industrial users require - and packs a lot of features into a rugged, hand-held instrument.
