WASTEWATER MEASUREMENT RESOURCES

• Using IoT-Based Tank Level Monitoring For Volume Measurement

  Level monitoring systems has successfully triumphed every implementation. Their deployments allow the users to measure the level of liquid stored in a container of any shape, size, orientation, or material. Powered with the advanced telemetric technology of Internet of Things, these systems measure liquid level without making any contact with the liquid and transmit the readings to a comprehensive platform suite.

• Customer Success Stories In Water & Wastewater

  Welcome to the modern HMI/SCADA system—where machines, data, insights, and people are connected. See how GE Digital customers have improved operator response, adhered to regulations, and reduced costs.

• Monsters Protect Pump Station, Weather Storms In Scotland

  Pump blockages and rags are a significant barrier to energy and operational efficiencies at pump stations, causing unscheduled shut downs, safety hazards for operators, costly equipment repairs and increased power usage due to a decrease in the pumps’ hydraulic performance. Scottish Water observed these negative effects caused by an influx of wipes and rags throughout a network of area pump stations. Engineers looked to a proven, powerful solution in the form of two JWC Environmental Channel Monster® grinders at one of their most problematic sites.

• FPI Mag Meter Meets The Needs Of A Water Distribution Plant In Italy

  McCrometer, and channel partner Tecnova, were able to help meet the demands of this water distribution customer by identifying and supplying the necessary meter to satisfy their specific needs.

• Kevin Costner's New Waterworld: Advancing Treatment Technology

  The actor is behind a company that has introduced advanced membrane technology to overcome water treatment challenges.

• Math Solutions Explained: Calculate Food-to-Microorganism (F-M) Ratio

  The food-to-microorganism (F-M) ratio is a process control numeric value advantageous to determine the proper number of microorganisms for the biological treatment process. The solution of calculating F-M ratio uses the influent volume of wastewater into an activated sludge system (flow MGD), incoming carbonaceous biochemical oxygen demand (CBOD) (mg/L) concentration into the aeration tank, mixed liquor volatile suspended solids (MLVSS) concentration (mg/L), and quantity (in gallons) of the respective aeration system.

• Smooth Sailing At Bloomington/Normal Southeast Wastewater Treatment Plant

  When the Bloomington-Normal Southeast Wastewater Treatment Plant won a 2018 Plant of the Year award from the Illinois Association of Water Pollution Control Operators, team members were ecstatic. Randy Stein, executive director and sports fan, likened it to winning the “Stanley Cup of wastewater.” On its way to the award (in Group 1 for plants larger than 7.5 mgd), the plant racked up 12 consecutive Gold Peak Performance Awards from the National Association of Clean Water Agencies. 

• How Microgrids Can Reduce The Energy Pressures On Water Infrastructure

  With the ability to isolate from the primary grid, maximize the full potential of onsite distributed energy resources (DERs), and intelligently manage onsite energy loads, microgrids have emerged as an ideal solution to help water departments modernize operations for the energy demands of today and tomorrow.
• Advantages Of Thermal Dispersion Switches For Pump Protection

  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.

• InfoAsset Planner Helps The Largest US Water And Wastewater Utility Save 10% A Year

  Large utilities need to maintain high levels of service when it comes to water and wastewater systems. If they do not they risk failures, fines, and costly reactive maintenance. This specific organization was looking to find a solution that could improve decision support models and monitoring data integrity.
