  • Discussing the past, present and future of digital transformation.

  • The digital transformation of the water sector may trail other industries, but it will happen nonetheless — bringing with it tremendous benefits and opportunities.

  • Key processes within Water & Wastewater operations can now be digitized. This is good news, especially for an industry under pressure to both lower OPEX and manage an aging workforce. Trends such as the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), cloud computing and “edge” control are emerging as technology engines that present cost-effective options for modernizing operations. When it comes to OPEX reduction, however, technology is what enables plant workers to make the biggest savings impact.

  • Engineers are turning to AI to cut weeks of work into hours and sharpen critical decisions.
  • Recently, I had the opportunity to tour a unique and innovative facility, the Bureau of Lab Services (BLS), the “water quality heartbeat of the Philadelphia Water Department” (PWD), as described by BLS director Gary Burlingame.

  • Kansas City, Missouri (KCMO) was updating their Overflow Control Plan as part of a federal consent decree with the aim to reduce the frequency and severity of combined and sanitary system overflows during wet weather events. KCMO needed to quickly find the most efficient, cost-effective way to reach compliance and serve their 478 000 residents. They partnered with Optimatics and EmNet leveraging the Optimizer platform to identify the best combinations of conveyance, in line storage, and I/I reduction strategies to achieve their program goals at the lowest lifecycle cost.

  • Wet wipes labeled as “flushable” create costly pump clogs and time wasted for collection system operators. But the problem can be resolved before it starts.

  • 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.

  • Like many companies, when we launched our 2020 strategic plan in January, we had no idea what the year would hold. We will remember 2020 not only as a year of unprecedented challenges, but of resilience and innovation.

  • Whether you call it Digital Transformation, Water 4.0, or Smart Water, the water industry as a whole is changing drastically in the way that it operates. If you ask a dozen people what these buzzwords mean, you will naturally get a dozen answers. It is because the Digital Transformation of the water industry is different for different people and for different operational and management aspects of what is done to produce water, distribute it to customers, collect it, treat it, and put it back to the environment.

  • Understanding The Different Phosphorus Tests

    In wastewater treatment, phosphorus testing can quickly become confusing. For example, there are three different tests. So, which test was performed? Test results can be displayed in two different forms. So, which form was utilized? Tests can measure both particulate and dissolved phosphorus. So, was the sample filtered?

  • Ortho-Phosphate Analyzer

    Introducing the NP6000sc, the latest evolution in Hach® Phosphate Analyzers. As the next evolution in nutrient monitoring, combining the trusted reliability of Phosphax with cutting-edge innovations to address your biggest challenges.

  • Measuring Low Limit Values For Orthophosphate Using The Phosphax Sc Low Range

    Tightening phosphate limits require high-precision monitoring to ensure compliance and economical chemical dosing. Refined photometric methods now offer superior accuracy at ultra-low ranges, providing the stable data necessary to optimize wastewater treatment processes.

  • XD Spectrophotometers

    The XD 7000 and XD 7500 Spectrophotometers combine a state-of-the-art optical system with ease of use and flexibility for a wide range of water testing applications. 

  • BOD Determination

    The BD 600 is a respirometric system for the determination of Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD). Save time, reduce the potential for errors and easily interpret data to help make process control decisions for your plant.
