WASTEWATER MEASUREMENT RESOURCES

• Aeration Basin Air Flow Monitoring At A Stockholm Wastewater Plant

  At a wastewater treatment plant in Stockholm, Sweden, each aeration basin has several diffuser systems. Each diffuser system requires individual air flow monitoring and independent control. The air flow pipes leading to the diffusers typically do not have much straight run of pipe. This makes accurate measurement of the air flow more difficult. In addition, the air flow coming from the compressors is inconsistent

• Utility Combined Data From 22 Types Of Sources Into A Digital Twin To Monitor Its Water System In Real Time

  Bentley’s water solutions helped build a unified management program to access data in the field, producing operation gains of 25%.

• Igniting A Smart Water Movement

  Water scarcity. Aging infrastructure. Uncertainty due to climate change. Experts from across the water sector agree that water challenges are intensifying, and that action and public awareness is a necessity. Now we have the need — and the opportunity — for those same voices to raise the volume on one of the most powerful ways to address increasing water threats: digital innovation.

• Total Oxygen Demand (TOD) – An Alternative Parameter For Real-Time Monitoring Of Wastewater Organics

  Today, due to the multitude of organics, the organic contamination of wastewater cannot be defined with passable analytical effort. Therefore, composite parameters become more important for the description of organic contamination. Parameters have been defined to enable a fast detection of organic loads.

• Bold 2016 Predictions For Industrial IoT

  FreeWave Technologies sees the Internet of Things pushing the bounds of possibility, disrupting traditional business models.

• Water And The Internet of Things: 2018

  I became interested in water and the Internet of Things (IoT) several years ago when I had a below groundwater leak at home that resulted in a large water bill. Since I live in the Silicon Valley, CA, the high tech capital of the world, I thought there should be a better way to track water usage so problems can be identified and solved sooner.

• Automatic Delivery Gives Back: A Hard-Water Case Study

  Eighty-five percent of the U.S. has hard water, characterized by a high concentration of calcium and magnesium ions.¹ This means 85% of the nation’s population must use more time and cleaning solution to achieve the same results the other 15% have no trouble with. From hand-washing to laundry, hard water takes its toll in more ways than one. Dry skin, cloudy dishes, and higher maintenance on industrial appliances are just a few of the many effects hard water has.

• The Future Of AI Is Looming

  When people talk about artificial intelligence, they tend to sort into four camps — doomers, gloomers, bloomers, and zoomers. The doomers fear the robot apocalypse. The gloomers worry AI will automate away all the meaningful jobs. The bloomers are optimistic about AI innovation but want to take a measured approach with guardrails as the technology develops. And the zoomers? They're already deep into it and want minimal regulation to accelerate progress. But I'd like to add a fifth mindset to the mix: the loomers.

• Solving Uncertainty: Using Big Data To Predict Urban Water Demand

  Data-rich utilities have the tools to forecast urban water demand, but some key considerations are often overlooked when creating models. Learn the pitfalls and how to resolve them.

• Math Solutions: Volume Calculations

  Water Online’s “Math Solutions” series, presented by wastewater consultant and trainer Dan Theobald (“Wastewater Dan”), provides an understanding of the sometimes difficult calculations involved in achieving wastewater operator certification.
