WASTEWATER MEASUREMENT RESOURCES

• Ultrasonic Level System Helps Protect The Environment And Reduce Expenses

  With millions of liters of water treated, accuracy and reliability are a necessity for a municipal water system. Learn about the instruments that they use to meet their needs. 

• How Contractors Maximise Productivity And Efficiency

  In many regions contractors and sub-contractors carry out essential work on behalf of water utilities to safely refurbish, repair, and maintain assets in the field.  This increases the importance of an efficient workflow between all parties to share the status of their water, wastewater, and other assets (such as pipes, pumps, valves and drainage structures) with maintenance crews, consultants, and contractors so that everyone can access the same up-to-date information. 

• Seal Rock Conserves Water And Advances Customer Service With Sensus

  In this case study, discover how an Oregon water district moved to AMI for better accuracy and response time. 

• Advanced Diagnostics of Thermal Mass Flow Meters

  Many thermal mass flow meters are of the insertion type. As a starting point, proper insertion depth and straight run per the manufacturer’s recommendations should be adhered to.

• Math Solutions: Poundage Calculations

  Water Online’s “Math Solutions,” presented by wastewater consultant and trainer Dan Theobald (“Wastewater Dan”), instructs operators on poundage calculations.

• Staying On Top of Water In Spite Of Flood

  The biggest flood in decades roared through the Village of Johnson City, NY, one day in September 2011, and the water department lost everything, including their office, which was submerged in several feet of water. Working with Neptune Technology Group, Johnson City began installation of its new Neptune meters, along with E-Coder®)R900i™ combination solid state absolute encoder/RF meter interface units.

• 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.

• Whether Half-Empty Or Half Full, Krohne Helps Back River Accurately Measure Flow

  If a pipe in a wastewater treatment plant is only 50% filled, it doesn't matter whether you call a glass half full or half empty.  When it comes to measuring the liquid in that pipe, either way presents a significant problem. 

• Water Monitoring's Triple Threat: Bad Habits, Bad Readings, Bad Results

  When water and wastewater plant operators can’t get accurate flow measurements or analytical readings — or lack confidence in their instruments’ readings — it creates challenges with the process. When substandard water goes to homes and causes a boil order, or discharge pollutes a lake or reservoir, the resulting bad press, fines, and potential lawsuits erode public confidence. Avoiding these kinds of problems is rooted in good preventive maintenance habits.

• Wastewater Plant Streamlines Process Monitoring

  In its quest to gain greater remote accessibility and increase ease of use, a progressive sewerage authority elected to think outside the traditional SCADA box.
