WASTEWATER MEASUREMENT RESOURCES

• Math Solutions: More Flow Rate Conversion Calculations

  This edition of Water Online’s “Math Solutions” series, presented by wastewater consultant and trainer Dan Theobald (“Wastewater Dan”), instructs operators on flow rate conversion calculations.

• 6 Reasons Modern Water Treatment Relies On Smart Sensors

  Smart sensors for water treatment facilities are revolutionizing wastewater processing and clarification, leading to some amazing benefits. Modern water treatment has become a high-tech field as many facilities have begun adopting connected IoT sensors to monitor their equipment and water quality. Learn more about the benefits of these smart sensors and why they are an integral part of today's water treatment industry.

• Monitor And Control Critical Water Infrastructure In Real-Time

  Discover how Contact Automation deployed a FreeWave solution to transform communications capabilities of Sylvan Lake, Canada's water and wastewater operation. 

• Leveraging ddPCR Technology For Accurate Wastewater Surveillance Testing

  At this stage in the COVID-19 pandemic, where disease levels are diminishing in several parts of the U.S., authorities seeking to detect and isolate new outbreaks have found it best to transition from a triage-based clinical testing strategy to a broad surveillance strategy. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has turned to wastewater testing for surveillance because this form of community-based testing allows authorities to detect spikes in viral levels in a community days before individuals experience clinical symptoms while encompassing the part of the population that is asymptomatic or hesitant to be tested.

• Expanding Industrial Applications For Automation In Pumping

  The Internet of Things (IoT), Industry 4.0, and connectivity in drives is the future, and many market segments must modernize to compete. The world is more connected than ever with new technological advances that produce higher process efficiency and time savings. To stay competitive in this environment, companies must include automated solutions such as remote management, monitoring, and control.

• On The Rise: Quality Of Water, Quality Of Life — From Northeast U.S. To Central Africa

  Bbanda is a small rural village of about 1,100 people in southern central Uganda, located 45 minutes from the closest town of Mityana. There is no electricity or reliable source of drinking water. But thanks to the work of some engineering students, that’s about to change.

• 2025 Water Forecast: Transition, Changes, And Trends

  Hmmm … what’s new for 2025? That's asked with a hint of knowing sarcasm, as the incoming presidential administration promises to disrupt the status quo. The change in direction for environmental policy, including impacts on regulations as well as traditional and human infrastructure, has yet to fully reveal itself.
• A Deeper Look At Automated Treatment Plant Design

  Transcend Design Generator (TDG) is a custom-made design software system created by wastewater engineers. Its user-friendliness and accessibility enable those with no prior knowledge of wastewater engineering concepts to work alongside those with extensive experience.

• What Benefits Do Variable Frequency Drives Offer For Pump Control?

  People working with water infrastructure or handling other industrial needs may choose variable frequency drives (VFDs) for better pump control options. This approach relies on a component that alters the frequency and voltage received by the pump motor, thereby changing its speed and torque. Here are some of the benefits of VFDs.
