WASTEWATER MEASUREMENT RESOURCES

• The Digital Transformation Of Water In Gandia

  Over the last two decades, the water industry has undergone a revolution that has shaken its business model to the very core. Utilities, which have traditionally been excluded from innovative solutions as a result of being tied into relatively long concession contracts, are now encountering growing demands from consumers and government to become more accountable for their services.

• Factors To Consider For Condition Assessment Of Water And Sewer Systems

  Back in the day, we pretty much had nothing but good ol' CCTV as our primary method of inspecting sewer pipes giving us data to assess their condition; IF the pipe didn't fog up for good video and/or the VHS tape got eaten in the player. Water pipes?

• White House Utility District Reduces Costs By Over $1 Million

  In 2007, White House Utility District (WHUD), a water utility serving approximately 90,000 consumers and businesses in Tennessee, faced a dilemma: how to meet a projected growing demand for water within the budget and capital constraints faced by municipal and mid-sized utilities everywhere.

• Automation 101: What Are You Really Controlling?

  We build big, shiny, fancy control panels with letters and number after their names like NEMA 4X.

• Math Solutions: Poundage Calculations

  Water Online’s “Math Solutions,” presented by wastewater consultant and trainer Dan Theobald (“Wastewater Dan”), instructs operators on poundage calculations.

• What Benefits Do Variable Frequency Drives Offer For Pump Control?

  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.

• Sangamon Valley Public Water District Turns To FreeWave For Wireless M2M Technology

  Learn how FreeWave helped the Sangamon Valley Public Water District improve operational efficiency with a wireless M2M network designed for long range communications.

• Automatic Delivery Gives Back: A Hard-Water Case Study

  Eighty-five percent of the U.S. has hard water, characterized by a high concentration of calcium and magnesium ions.¹ This means 85% of the nation’s population must use more time and cleaning solution to achieve the same results the other 15% have no trouble with. From hand-washing to laundry, hard water takes its toll in more ways than one. Dry skin, cloudy dishes, and higher maintenance on industrial appliances are just a few of the many effects hard water has.

• Grad Student Reimagines Oklahoma City With Green Infrastructure Design Using InfoDrainage

  Andrea Tavera, a former University of Oklahoma graduate student, used Innovyze drainage design software to promote LID-based, green infrastructure design in hopes of resolving Oklahoma’s two greatest drainage challenges caused by stormwater runoff: excessive flooding and pollution. 

• Using UVC LEDs To Develop Cost-Effective, Measurement-Specific Water Quality Sensors

  Rapid industrialization and tightened water quality standards are leading to an increase in global spending on water quality monitoring instrumentation. Spending in this area is projected to grow from $2.5 billion in 2014 to $3.6 billion by 2020, with some 25 percent spent on new, less expensive water quality monitoring sensors that deliver on-the-spot measurements.
