• 50+ Years With Neptune And Building On A Decade of R900 Technology

  The Public Works Utilities of Billings, Montana, began their partnership with Neptune Technology back in the 1950s and was an early adopter of Neptune’s ARB® absolute encoder meter reading technology in the 1960s.

• Real-Time Predictive Analytics For Smarter Smart Water Infrastructure

  Are you confused by your smart water system? New tools help utilities make sense of data and finally realize the potential of smart water infrastructure.

• DCS Versus PLC: A User's Guide To Selecting The Most Effective Control Platform For Your Application

  Distributed control systems (DCSs) and programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are not mutually exclusive technologies. When the end-use application serves as the basis for making a sound decision, the selection process becomes more efficient, and a more effective outcome results. This white paper provides general guidelines and highlights key considerations when choosing a control system platform. While the details of each application are critical to the selection process, use the following as a guide when designing, specifying, and implementing controller technology.

• What Is Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) And What Does It Do?

  Many people know what ATP stands for, but do you know what it does? This article demystifies this amazing energy carrier and explains why water professionals should care about it.

• EPA Goes 'Next Generation' With Regulatory Compliance Program

  Inspired by new technology and an evolved philosophy, the EPA changes its approach to pollution-control rulemaking and compliance.

• Jacksonville, Texas, Tackles Weather Emergency, Improves Customer Service With Xylem Technology

  Learn how the Sensus ally water meter with remote shutoff helps prevent property damage in Jacksonville, Texas. 

• Automation 101: The Dangers Of Hand/Off/Auto

  When we automate we invariably offer our clients and their operations staff the benefit of Hand/Off/Auto functionality for all the components on our systems. To those new to automation it allows an operator or maintenance worker to remove a piece of equipment, like a pump or blower for example, from the oversight and control automated controller (MCC, PLC, etc.) and operate it manually while it is still installed.

• Staying On Top of Water In Spite Of Flood

  The biggest flood in decades roared through the Village of Johnson City, NY, one day in September 2011, and the water department lost everything, including their office, which was submerged in several feet of water. Working with Neptune Technology Group, Johnson City began installation of its new Neptune meters, along with E-Coder®)R900i™ combination solid state absolute encoder/RF meter interface units.

• Are You Experiencing Deviation Alarms In Your High Pressure Process Vessels?

  In this white paper, learn how to decrease alarms due to redundant level devices not matching, especially in applications with high pressure and/or high temperature. The importance of Gas Phase Compensation (GPC) and how it affects level readings of guided wave radar (GWR) devices is critical. The presence of polar gas also can have an effect on the accuracy of any GWR that does not have GPC when installed in applications where high temperature or pressure is present. This paper will discuss these issues and address how to overcome them.

• Amazing And Reliable Insights Gathered From Dissolved Oxygen Sensors

  Dissolved oxygen sensor monitoring is critical to making wastewater plants run smoothly and within regulations. Here are some fascinating things people can learn by looking at data from these devices.
