WASTEWATER MEASUREMENT RESOURCES

• Smart Metering Not An All Or Nothing Proposition

  Water utilities of all sizes face daunting challenges.  Small utilities face the same challenges as large utilities, but have to do more with less.

• Using IoT-Based Tank Level Monitoring For Volume Measurement

  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.

• Creating More Resilient Communities Through Optimized Drainage Design

  Water is our most valuable resource. Thus, for decades, our government has been concerned with our water systems, particularly with the public safety of clean drinking water and healthy wastewater systems. The latest development in this pursuit is the Drinking Water and Wastewater Infrastructure Act of 2021, section 214 of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), which pertains to improving environmental and public health.
• Precise Biogas Flow Measurement

  As oil prices remain high, we are in the midst of a nation-wide initiative to seek renewable sources of energy to increase energy efficiency and energy security. Renewable energy accounted for 13.2% of the domestically produced electricity in 2012. Among the sources of renewable energy is the production of biogas from landfill gas (LFG) or digester gas.

• COVID-19 And Wastewater Utilities

  Today, the world is facing unprecedented circumstances that are affecting every single sector and the water service is no exception. Although there is still more research to be done, this article has collected the currently available information to highlight how wastewater utilities have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. More specifically, this article will attempt to look at the outbreak’s impact on utilities, the potential hazards, and the predominant solution.

• Detecting COVID-19 Early Via Wastewater Surveillance

  Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) is the analysis of wastewater to identify the presence of biologicals or chemicals for the purpose of monitoring public health. It can provide a snapshot of entire communities from one sample. Detecting viral diseases by way of wastewater monitoring is nothing new, it’s been known for decades that viral particles can be detected in human feces. WBE has previously been used to detect the presence of pharmaceutical or industrial waste, drugs, viruses, and potential emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. In Israel, a wastewater surveillance program for monitoring polio outbreaks has been successfully running since 1989.

• Automation 101: The 7 Habits Of Highly Automatable Systems

  When we automate, we are really just mechanizing individual tasks, controlling that task with some form of computerization, and linking those tasks together in what is called system integration.

• Solving Uncertainty: Using Big Data To Predict Urban Water Demand

  Data-rich utilities have the tools to forecast urban water demand, but some key considerations are often overlooked when creating models. Learn the pitfalls and how to resolve them.

• AI Analytics Transforms Water Management In Norway

  The water-rich municipality of Lillestrøm was looking for a way to acquire more useful data to ensure decision-making and use of resources were as efficient as possible. Implementing a centralized artificial intelligence (AI) software has transformed water management and analytics for the better.
• The 4 Pillars Of Control Room Operator Effectiveness

  With more water and wastewater utilities, as well as industrial facilities, moving toward digitalization, it’s important to understand the needs of data gatekeepers and decision-makers to set them up for success.
