WASTEWATER MEASUREMENT RESOURCES

• Delivering Digital Water — Are We There Yet?

  The water industry's greatest technology trend is also one with scattershot levels of adoption, but that can change with proper understanding of the purpose for and pathway toward Digital Water.
• Increasing Data Quality To Leverage Spatial Analytics

  The Prince William County Service Authority supplies clean water and superior service to a large and ever-growing metropolitan population. The Service Authority owns and maintains more than 2,300 miles of pipeline distributing up to 56 million gallons of water a day and treating 43 million gallons of wastewater a day for approximately 350,000 people. 

• City Of Columbus: Facilities And Safety Training Management

  The City of Columbus entered into a Consent Order with the USEPA to reduce sewer overflows, and 360Water was hired to develop the facilities training and documentation. 

• Protecting Against Doomsday Contaminants

  New tools are being developed for worst-case drinking water scenarios: chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN)-related contamination.

• Troubleshooting Nitrification And Denitrification In Wastewater

  The proper tools are essential to fixing any problem. Over the years, Ohio EPA’s Compliance Assistance Unit (CAU) has helped dozens of water resource recovery facilities (WRRF) get back into and maintain compliance with NPDES discharge permits. Their field toolkit has included an assortment of batch sampling kits and handheld instruments. Each tool had its place but each also had limitations and, as a result, the compliance puzzle often was missing important pieces. Increasingly, as nutrient limits were incorporated into discharge permits, the missing piece was characterizing the dynamics of nitrification and denitrification. By Patrick Higgins

• 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

• Bold 2016 Predictions For Industrial IoT

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

• What Are The Benefits Of The Digital Twin For Water?

  A Digital Twin is a virtual replica of a physical asset that is updated in real-time via a two-way data connection and, as such, representative of its live characteristics.

• Moneyball For Water And Wastewater Treatment

  The movie and sports term has infiltrated the business world and has important implications for the water/wastewater industry.

• How Today's Water Facilities Are Successfully Integrating Advanced Technology, Data Analytics, And Predictive Modeling

  The water industry is seeing greater adoption of advanced technology, data analytics, and predictive modeling to enhance operational efficiency, improve equipment reliability, and ensure sustainability. These technology interventions need a concerted effort that considers people, processes, and technology to establish operational success after the planning phase.
