• Selecting A Flow Measurement Technology

  What’s the right flow measurement method for your operation? A leading independent lab breaks down the options and considerations.

• Next-Level Communications Solves SCADA Problem For City Of St. George

  Water and wastewater treatment facilities around the globe are turning to the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) to help automate and improve the security of their facilities through high performance M2M wireless communications. In fact, there is a suite of Class 1 and Div 2 spread spectrum unlicensed and licensed radios specifically for water/wastewater applications, including high-speed wireless Ethernet, serial, and IO radios. These radios can be easily networked to ensure that facility monitoring and performance data are accurate and delivered in a timely fashion. These solutions can help municipalities design and implement a world-class point to point wireless network for unique facility applications including water and wastewater treatment plant monitoring, pump house control, chemical monitoring and control, SCADA systems, remote video surveillance and security, water flow control, and cathodic protection applications.

• EPA's ENTACT Study Breaks New Ground With Non-Targeted Research

  EPA scientists are leading a multi-phase project to evaluate the ability of non-targeted analysis laboratory methods to consistently and correctly identify unknown chemicals in samples. EPA’s Non-Targeted Analysis Collaborative Trial (ENTACT) was formed in late 2015 and includes nearly 30 academic, government, and industry groups. Non-targeted analysis involves analyzing water, soil and other types of samples to identify unknown chemicals that may be present, without having a preconceived idea of what chemicals may be in the samples.

• City of Bend, OR Achieves Cost-Effective Strategies For Water System Upgrades Due To Growth

  Murraysmith used Optimizer to a develop a long-term masterplan for Bend’s water distribution system, to help the city prepare for future population growth. Bend has been experiencing steady population growth over the years, and this growth is not expected to slow down in the foreseeable future. The purpose of this masterplan optimization was to determine the most cost-effective strategy for upgrading the system to be able to prepare for the anticipated future demands.

• Protecting Critical Infrastructure With Real-Time GIS Data

  Critical infrastructure deserves real-time monitoring. With a service territory of 2,000 square miles in the center of southwestern Pennsylvania, the Municipal Authority of Westmoreland County (MAWC) directly serves 130,000 customers with water and wastewater services. MAWC also serves other water utilities, heavy industry companies, and a power production plant. With a fleet of over 300 vehicles and 2,500 miles of underground assets, MAWC keeps track of its real-time data using Esri's ArcGIS® GeoEvent™ Server.

• Providing Clean Water Infrastructure With Digital Workflows

  Read about the Uttar Pradesh State Water and Sanitation's mission to bring drinking water to every household in their area by improving water infrastructure. 

• Town Of Castle Rock, CO Reduces Water Age By 35% Through Desktop Operational Optimization Study

  Castle Rock Water teamed with Optimatics to consider whether modifying the operation of the Castle Rock water distribution network could improve water age across the system. The purpose of the Castle Rock optimization study was to assess system operations and determine whether changes to the way the system is operated could reduce water age across the system, particularly in some problematic storage tanks. Water age is a concern for many water utilities since it is a major factor in the deterioration of water quality in distribution systems.

• Streamlining Water Treatment With Automation

  In today's fast-evolving world, industries find themselves amidst a technological whirlwind that's reshaping the landscape. This wave of change has raised the bar for both top-notch products and services, demanding exceptional quality delivered with maximum efficiency. This is where automation steps in, emerging as a transformative solution for industries aiming to supercharge productivity.
• New Study Reveals Gaps In The Methods Used To Assess Chemicals In Oilfield Wastewater

  A new study led by researchers with Colorado School of Mines exposes limitations with the current methods used to detect chemicals in oilfield wastewater and offers solutions to help regulators make better decisions for managing this waste stream.

• Troubleshooting A Sudden Fecal Coliform Non-Compliance Event

  A municipal wastewater treatment plant investigated a sudden increase in fecal coliform exceedance events.
