WASTEWATER MEASUREMENT RESOURCES

• Is It Time To Start Worrying About Treatment Plant Hackers?

  Treatment plant control systems are more vulnerable to computer hacks than ever before. What should utilities be doing to prepare themselves?

• Tackling Modern Wastewater Treatment Challenges And Unlocking Efficiencies With Advanced Water Technologies

  Research studies, empirical evidence, and the march of time all suggest that the implementation of next-generation technologies at wastewater utilities is profoundly important, if not imperative, for efficient operations.

• Water Authority Chooses Siemens Pressure Transmitters For Accuracy, Reliability And Ease Of Use

  A county water authority in the Northeast U.S. supplies over 40 million gallons per day to its 340,000 residential customers. In this case study, learn why they chose Siemens pressure transmitters. 

• 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.

• Empowering Success With A Common Operational View

  The Municipal Authority of Westmoreland County (MAWC) in New Stanton, Pennsylvania, provides service to more than 130,000 water customers and approximately 27,000 sewer customers. MAWC maintains more than 2,400 miles of water mains, three water treatment plants and eleven wastewater treatment plants. Over the past four years, MAWC has integrated geographic information system (GIS) applications to enhance project workflows and integrate datasets. Previously, while reviewing its construction workflow process, MAWC was frustrated to learn that project status was not being effectively communicated between departments, causing serious delays in inspecting and activating new hydrants.  

• A Day In The Life With Predictive Control

  In water treatment, a lot of our daily decisions depend on variables that are constantly changing. What the weather is like, whether a pump is out of service and, perhaps most importantly, the characteristics of the influent waters.

• Looking Ahead In 2021

  With 2021 nearly here, we’d like to share what’s in store for the year to come as it relates to Asset Management, Digital Twins, and Artificial Intelligence.

• A Flight Simulator For Treatment Facilities: The New Frontier For Modeling Complete Treatment Plant Operations

  Inconsistent water availability, reduced capital and operational budgets and tightening regulations are posing real challenges for our water conveyance and treatment infrastructure today.

• Plan Ahead For Stormwater Runoff & Improve Service To Your Community

  It rains, it pours. And when it pours, our cities produce what is called stormwater runoff. Stormwater runoff is what happens when rain falls on roads, driveways, parking lots, and other paved surfaces that do not allow water to soak into the ground.

• Is Water 4.0 The Future?

  Water 4.0 is a concept that has recently been raised as the “future” of the water industry …possibly. Apart from being a paraphrase of Industry 4.0, the questions have to be asked: What is it, and what does it have to do with the way the water industry operates in its current state?
