WASTEWATER MEASUREMENT WHITE PAPERS AND CASE STUDIES

• Neptune’s R450™ System Helps Get Feet Off The Streets Of Laredo

  The city of Laredo, Texas, had been walking to read its 67,543 water meters – 59,138 residential and 8,405 commercial accounts – using a manual method that took up to ten staff on the streets nearly an entire month to read to meet a monthly billing schedule. With the dawn of advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) systems, the City began their search for the right metering solution for the department’s needs.

• Carbon Dioxide For pH Control Of Landfill Leachate

  A landfill operator’s leachate treatment plant in Missouri required pH reduction following lime-softening and prior to the biological wastewater treatment process. Carbon dioxide (CO2) was chosen as a substitute for sulfuric acid due to improved process control and a reduced tendency to form scale.

• Scalable SCADA: Deploying Ignition In Any Architecture

  The Internet continues to transform the way business is done, industries are in transition, new markets are opening, and consumer habits are shifting. Even if your architecture is working well now, is it scalable enough to adapt to unpredictable changes?

• Mexican Power Plant Meeting Tough Wastewater Challenges Recovering water for boiler feed makeup can come with many challenges for power stations; however, the level of complexity involved with treatment is raised considerably when having to deal with municipal wastewater. By Geoff Hong, Regional Sales Manager – Water and George Di Falco, Communications Coordinator, Eco-Tec Inc.
• Smart Water: Remote Sensing

  Automated metering systems (AMSs) or “smart meters” can provide valuable data for electric and water utilities. Data analytics can be used to improve customer service, boost conservation, monitor the system, and even forecast demand. An ultimate goal might be to eventually monitor everything from streetlight intensity to fire hydrants.

• A Tale Of Two SCADA Conversions

  J.D. Irving, Limited Sawmill Division has invested $70 million in the latest operational equipment as part of their continuous investment in sustainable forest management strategies. In 2015, the company chose VTScada monitoring and control software to replace the aging SCADA systems used in their biomass boiler and trim line processes. Jody Gallant, an Electrical Engineering Technologist for JD Irving describes the some challenges and benefits of implementing a modern industrial SCADA system.

• Monster Clears Clogs And Streamlines Septage Delivery At Ventura Regional Sanitation District

  The Ventura Regional Sanitation District’s Liquid Waste Treatment Facility (LWTF) was experiencing a double-threat to safety and productivity.

• Advancing Management Of Urban Water Infrastructure

  A wide range of issues can disrupt the normal functioning of an urban water system, such as storms and other natural disasters, pollution, physical damage, cyber incidents, aging and insufficient infrastructure, and rapid urban growth.

• 10 Things You Probably Don’t Know About Cone Meters (But Really Should Find Out)

  Cone meters have been around for decades, since the mid-1980s. They are frequently confused with other technologies for a number of reasons.

• Leveraging Predictive Analytics: A Case Study

  Often the first notification of a spill comes from a member of the public, hours and sometimes days after the first spill. This can intensify public health and environmental impacts and the cost of clean-up efforts. Following a sewer spill at an environmentally significant site at Midway Point in August 2017, TasWater sought a way to reduce the likelihood and impact of spill events occurring in the future.
