• The Value Of Digital Transformation In Water At JEA

  In a broader landscape being transformed by data, water utilities face their own unique challenges in adopting digital transformation strategies.

• SWAN Corner: How Regulators And Innovators Are Working Together To Digitize Wastewater Regulations

  Advanced technologies have been trickling into wastewater processes for the last decade, but only recently have bodies such as the International Standards Organisation added smart systems to their list of standardised practices. Collaborations with tech startups have played a vital role in bringing standards in line with current technological capabilities, but there’s a long way to go...

• Bristol Water Keeps Drinking Water Safe With InfoWorks WS Pro

  Bristol Water has provided clean, fresh drinking water to its customers since 1846. For almost 200 years, the health and environment of their communities has remained at the forefront of their values. Today, Bristol Water supplies over 1 million people within Bristol, England, across an area of almost 2,400 square kilometers. Bristol Water’s operations include the abstraction, storage, treatment, and distribution of water to homes, businesses, and other premises. They focus exclusively on water, not wastewater.  

• Integrating Safety And Process Environments

  Using a single programmable controller such as Schneider Electric’s M580 Safety Controller to manage both process and safety systems can help speed up deployment, improve reliability and sustainability of operations, enhance cybersecurity, and support greater productivity and transparency.

• SWAN Corner: Wet Weather Measurement Means More Than Scratching The Surface

  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.

• Shortcut The Nitrogen Removal Process In Wastewater With UV Sensors

  Nitrite, long disregarded as an insignificant intermediate in the wastewater nitrification process, has recently gained prominence. Research and practice has identified nitrite as the critical variable in newly-developed treatment processes that utilize shortcuts in the nitrogen cycle to more efficiently remove nitrogen from wastewater.

• Laboratory Analysis Demystified

  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.
