WASTEWATER MEASUREMENT RESOURCES

  • The Prosonic S FMU90 and FDU92 ultrasonic system measures the difference in water level between two sides of a filtration system. By Endress+Hauser, Inc.

  • At 10am on August 24, 2017, a customer in Midway Point, a small suburb outside of Hobart, Tasmania, reported a sewage spill on his property. Midway Point stands adjacent to Pitt Water Nature Reserve, home to rare birds, butterflies, and the largest oyster lease in Tasmania, covering some 14 hectacres. In late August, Pitt Water oysters, prized for their briny flavor and consistency, were just coming into peak condition.

  • In many regions contractors and sub-contractors carry out essential work on behalf of water utilities to safely refurbish, repair, and maintain assets in the field.  This increases the importance of an efficient workflow between all parties to share the status of their water, wastewater, and other assets (such as pipes, pumps, valves and drainage structures) with maintenance crews, consultants, and contractors so that everyone can access the same up-to-date information. 

  • Discover how a design-build project provided a turnkey solution in quick fashion. 

  • Pump blockages and rags are a significant barrier to energy and operational efficiencies at pump stations, causing unscheduled shut downs, safety hazards for operators, costly equipment repairs and increased power usage due to a decrease in the pumps’ hydraulic performance. Scottish Water observed these negative effects caused by an influx of wipes and rags throughout a network of area pump stations. Engineers looked to a proven, powerful solution in the form of two JWC Environmental Channel Monster® grinders at one of their most problematic sites.

  • Level monitoring systems has successfully triumphed every implementation. Their deployments allow the users to measure the level of liquid stored in a container of any shape, size, orientation, or material. Powered with the advanced telemetric technology of Internet of Things, these systems measure liquid level without making any contact with the liquid and transmit the readings to a comprehensive platform suite.

  • The water system for Guwahati, the largest city in the northeastern region of India, was originally built to harness the Brahmaputra River with a gravity-based distribution system. Unregulated development led to water supply problems, as well as high water pressure in 60% of the system. To improve water distribution and the quality of life for residents, NJS Engineers India was tasked with constructing or upgrading water infrastructure throughout the city, including 36 kilometers of transmission mains, 1,155 kilometers of distribution pipes, 1.42 million service connections, a treatment plant, pumping stations, and other infrastructure. Due to the size of the project, NJS needed to combine design, construction management, and hydraulic models into a single platform.

  • Andrea Tavera, a former University of Oklahoma graduate student, used Innovyze drainage design software to promote LID-based, green infrastructure design in hopes of resolving Oklahoma’s two greatest drainage challenges caused by stormwater runoff: excessive flooding and pollution. 

  • The Bonavista tank is one of the most important water storage elements in Beniganim’s drinking water system. The aim of this Spanish Town Council, which is responsible for municipal water management, was to solve supply issues and reduce operating costs.

  • If the wastewater treatment plant serving Reading, PA, and 11 surrounding municipalities has a mission statement for its day-to-day operations, it couldn’t be simpler or more critical: “95°F.”

WASTEWATER MEASUREMENT SOLUTIONS

  • Panametrics Achieves Challenging Wastewater Flow Measurement On A Lined Ductile Iron Pipe

    A municipal wastewater plant in North America sought a reliable flow measurement for one of their key wastewater lines. The existing dual-channel ultrasonic flowmeter from a competitor had consistently failed to provide accurate readings.

  • Cleaner Water With Liquid Ai™

    Every time we open a tap, we trust the water is safe to use. It is easy to forget that we only enjoy this luxury because of monitoring systems, tirelessly working in the background and warning water companies of every anomaly. Likewise, wastewater also needs to be continuously monitored to avoid pollution.

  • TransPort PT900

    What happens when you combine the proven track record of the TransPort® PT878 (TransPort PT900’s powerful predecessor) with the latest technology? You get performance, productivity, and a better user experience. The TransPort is the next evolution, and it’s here to make your job easier than ever.

  • AquaTrans™ AT600

    The AquaTrans AT600 liquid flow ultrasonic transmitter combines state-of-the-art flow measurement capability with a low-cost transmitter package that can be installed right at the process measurement point. It’s designed specifically for water and wastewater applications in full pipes. The all-digital AquaTrans AT600 has no moving parts and requires minimal maintenance.

  • DPS5000 SDI-12 Digital Pressure Sensing Platform

    The DPS5000 SDI-12 from Druck, part of the UNIK5000 family, offers integrated digital electronics to enhance the performance level of the UNIK 5000 Pressure Sensing Platform to levels unmatched by traditional analogue sensors. It uses SDI-12 protocol, over which fully compensated readings of pressure and temperature are sent, as well as control of many functions of the device.
