WASTEWATER MEASUREMENT RESOURCES

  • The newly released InfoWorks WS Pro, versions 2021.7 and 2021.8, provide users with new capability that improves managing models and incident reporting. InfoWorks WS Pro has been an industry leader for flexible management of water supply models for decades. Key new functionality includes scenario management, sharing SQLs, supply interruption reporting, and improved version control and licensing.

  • In a broader landscape being transformed by data, water utilities face their own unique challenges in adopting digital transformation strategies.

  • Advanced technologies have been trickling into wastewater processes for the last decade, but only recently have bodies such as the International Standards Organisation added smart systems to their list of standardised practices. Collaborations with tech startups have played a vital role in bringing standards in line with current technological capabilities, but there’s a long way to go...

  • Bristol Water has provided clean, fresh drinking water to its customers since 1846. For almost 200 years, the health and environment of their communities has remained at the forefront of their values. Today, Bristol Water supplies over 1 million people within Bristol, England, across an area of almost 2,400 square kilometers. Bristol Water’s operations include the abstraction, storage, treatment, and distribution of water to homes, businesses, and other premises. They focus exclusively on water, not wastewater.  

  • Using a single programmable controller such as Schneider Electric’s M580 Safety Controller to manage both process and safety systems can help speed up deployment, improve reliability and sustainability of operations, enhance cybersecurity, and support greater productivity and transparency.

  • Wet weather is a continuous concern for wastewater utilities. Rain-derived infiltration and inflow (RDII) challenges the collection system capacity. It can potentially result in overflows in the collection system and even the wastewater recovery facility (WRF) in extreme cases. These overflows can threaten public health and the environment. Additionally, higher flow volumes associated with wet weather will increase operating costs at the WRF.

  • 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.

  • Most people have no idea how critical getting a good sample is, and how hard it is in general to get really good data.  The analytical process for almost anything we test for has so many steps – each of which compounds any deviations or discrepancies made in the previous steps – that it’s vitally important to be as accurate and precise in each step along the way in order to get good, meaningful data in the end. By Patrick Vowell, Water Quality Engineer, Golden State Water Company

  • Dr. Jon Wicks, CH2M’s Global Technology Leader for flood risk modeling, shares his thoughts on the requirements for good modeling, building on discussions held at the recent Flood Modeller Suite Conference.

  • Technologies which could transform the shape of the water industry of the future will be on show at the fifth BlueTech Forum, to be held in San Francisco.

WASTEWATER MEASUREMENT SOLUTIONS

  • SLIC Traditional SCADA

    SLIC is the first control system that doesn't need a SCADA server, control panel, integrator, or a babysitter.

  • wastewaterOS

    wastewaterOS unifies costs, data, maintenance, training, lab results, and automation into one AI-driven platform. It doesn't just monitor; it runs your plant smarter. 

  • MD50 COD

    The MD50 COD is a next generation compact, single parameter photometer for the measurement Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD). The MD50 is an advanced successor to the MD100 COD photometer, offering improved accuracy, enhanced user experience, and expanded testing capabilities. 

  • TB350

    Ideal for field and environmental testing, the TB 350 turbidity meter delivers the most reliable measurements for low range to high range samples without sacrificing accuracy.

  • MD50 Chlorine Colorimeter, LR/HR

    The MD50 Chlorine LR/HR Colorimeter combines a simple user interface with advanced optics to deliver the accurate and reliable results municipal and industrial users require - and packs a lot of features into a rugged, hand-held instrument.
