Two wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) in Texas needed hydraulic model assessments. Plant managers needed to ensure their facilities could maintain water flows running at their current capacity and determine whether or not improvements were required. Here are the modeling challenges Freese and Nichols successfully overcome using InfoWorks ICM, ultimately providing finer plans and options for their clients to make confident choices

The newly released InfoWorks WS Pro, versions 2021.7 and 2021.8, provide users with new capability that improves managing models and incident reporting. InfoWorks WS Pro has been an industry leader for flexible management of water supply models for decades. Key new functionality includes scenario management, sharing SQLs, supply interruption reporting, and improved version control and licensing.

Thermal dispersion switches use similar principles as thermal mass flow meters. Fluid carries heat away from the probe tip reducing the temperature difference between a heated resistance temperature detector (RTD) and a reference RTD.

The Rahway Valley Sewerage Authority (RVSA), which operates a large wastewater treatment plant in New Jersey, embarked on a green co-generation waste-to-energy project to power a portion of its operations. The plant’s management team became interested in pursuing the gas-to-energy power co-generation system for both environmental and cost reasons.

Microorganisms can wreak havoc in industrial processes in a number of ways – from slime formation that causes paper breaks and excessive downtime in papermaking facilities, to costly recalls of spoiled final product. Consequently, an effective microbiological control program, which includes accurate and reliable monitoring, is critical for maintaining an efficient process and final product quality.

Wet weather is a continuous concern for wastewater utilities. Rain-derived infiltration and inflow (RDII) challenges the collection system capacity. It can potentially result in overflows in the collection system and even the wastewater recovery facility (WRF) in extreme cases. These overflows can threaten public health and the environment. Additionally, higher flow volumes associated with wet weather will increase operating costs at the WRF.

Cyberattacks targeting U.S. water utilities are no longer hypothetical scenarios, so it is past time to increase public protection by hardening cyber infrastructure.
