WASTEWATER MEASUREMENT RESOURCES

  • As cities grow and face environmental challenges, the concept of urban resilience becomes increasingly important. A recent study discusses the theoretical framework needed to build a smart water network that can enhance the resiliency of urban environments. It also reveals the critical technologies, including advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), that are key to pulling it all together.

  • As Wastewater Manager for four sewage treatment plants spread across Colchester County, Nova Scotia, Nicole MacDonald faced the daunting task of ensuring all systems continued to function seamlessly on a 24/7 basis. Each plant had its own separate monitoring and control system that allowed it to function autonomously

  • People working with water infrastructure or handling other industrial needs may choose variable frequency drives (VFDs) for better pump control options. This approach relies on a component that alters the frequency and voltage received by the pump motor, thereby changing its speed and torque. Here are some of the benefits of VFDs.

  • 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.
  • In the water and wastewater industry today, magazine articles, conference papers, and advertising featuring Big Data, artificial intelligence, and machine learning (AI/ML) are everywhere. While most organizations are still evaluating the various technologies and vendors, the real and achievable benefits are generally accepted. 

  • Read about the solution that was able to provide the Warren Water Recovery Facility with accurate composite sampling, reduced manpower with easy cleaning and maintenance, and predictive maintenance that reduced time in fixing process errors. 

  • By nature, I’m a curious person and always looking at innovations outside of the water industry for inspiration in my daily work. I recently came across an article talking about how AT&T was embracing the idea of the Internet of Things, and it was a real eye-opener on how technology is evolving in our unseen daily interactions aside from iPhones and tablets.

  • Learn about a municipal wastewater treatment facility located in Louisiana that was having problems with its clamp-on ultrasonic flow meter, and how the issue was resolved. 

  • Western Municipal Water District replaced their full SCADA system using Ignition.

  • 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.

WASTEWATER MEASUREMENT SOLUTIONS

  • Group 31 Quarter-Turn Compact Rotary Actuators

    Group 31 compact rotary actuators, model 31-M50, include a single analog electronic control module which receives a 4–20 mA or 1–5 V dc input signal and provides a 4–20 mA or 1–5 V dc feedback for position control and indication.

  • Group 75 Compact Rotary Actuators

    These compact rotary actuators were originally designed to control boiler windbox damper applications. Today they are used in numerous ways. Constructed with multiple mounting points makes it flexible to fit into tight areas. Great for controlling small rotary valves and damper applications. The model 75 actuators adapt to challenging heat and space configurations that other actuators cannot accommodate.

  • Multi-Turn Actuator (88-109)

    The Beck 88-109 is a continuous duty, multi-turn actuator designed to provide reliable control of rising stem and non-rising stem gate valves. Additionally, when coupled with a 1/4-turn gearbox, it is an ideal solution for large butterfly and other quarter-turn valves with high torque requirements.

  • Panametrics Achieves Challenging Wastewater Flow Measurement On A Lined Ductile Iron Pipe

    A municipal wastewater plant in North America sought a reliable flow measurement for one of their key wastewater lines. The existing dual-channel ultrasonic flowmeter from a competitor had consistently failed to provide accurate readings.

  • Cleaner Water With Liquid Ai™

    Every time we open a tap, we trust the water is safe to use. It is easy to forget that we only enjoy this luxury because of monitoring systems, tirelessly working in the background and warning water companies of every anomaly. Likewise, wastewater also needs to be continuously monitored to avoid pollution.
