• Leveraging Existing Risk Data And Multi-Objective Optimization, Las Vegas Valley Water District Identifies More Effective Spending On Pipe R&R

  LVVWD uses Optimatics software to manage assets and intelligently plan their pipe replacement and renewal programs by optimizing capital cost, business risk exposure, and hydraulic performance. Like many utilities, LVVWD faces a number of different challenges when considering asset renewal and replacement strategies.

• Using Digital Twin Technology For The Hartford Clean Water Project

  Discover how the use of new smart technologies helps the Clean Water Project team better protect neighborhoods and local waterways through real-time monitoring of sewer system overflows, further driving digital transformation in one of America’s most historic cities.

• Smell Test: A Comparison And Ranking Of Hydrogen Sulfide Emission Factors

  How bad does your wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) really smell? Researchers provide a new perspective on headworks odor control and measurement.

• WWEMA Window: Fully Automated Chemical Optimization For Drinking Water Treatment Gains Momentum

  Drinking water treatment systems utilize chemical coagulants to assist in mitigating turbidity from surface source waters. In most cases, coagulant consumption is the largest operating cost within a facility. Over the past few years, coagulant prices have increased significantly, putting pressure on utilities to look for ways to reduce chemical consumption. Coagulants rely on certain conditions to perform, namely particle charge, pH, water temperature, turbidity, and organic level. However, the technology to optimize chemical performance is lacking in this industry.

• Warren Water Recovery Facility Drives Efficiency With Innovative Sampler System

  Read about the solution that was able to provide the Warren Water Recovery Facility with accurate composite sampling, reduced manpower with easy cleaning and maintenance, and predictive maintenance that reduced time in fixing process errors. 

• 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.

• Why It's Smart To Increase Your Sewer Network Monitoring

  Effectively managing hundreds of thousands of miles of sewer network is not an enviable task. And with ever changing industry regulation, stricter statutory targets, additional compliance, and a growing abundance of technology, that task could easily be regarded as insurmountable. How can you ever know exactly what’s going on throughout your entire network? It’s impossible. Or is it?

• InfoWorks ICM Does It For Texas Utilities

  Two wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) in Texas needed hydraulic model assessments. Plant managers needed to ensure their facilities could maintain water flows running at their current capacity and determine whether or not improvements were required. Here are the modeling challenges Freese and Nichols successfully overcome using InfoWorks ICM, ultimately providing finer plans and options for their clients to make confident choices

• Strategies For Enhancing pH Control Systems In Wastewater Treatment

  Managing pH in wastewater treatment is a crucial undertaking for water utilities. Solid contaminants often receive more attention, as they're more obvious threats, but sub-optimal pH levels can be dangerous, too.
