• How IoT Could Open The Floodgates To Innovative Water Management Projects

  As the water industry continues to adopt more high-tech and data-centric solutions, it is important to consider the communications infrastructure that supports such investments

• Calling On Utilities To Combat Legionella

  The risk level linked to delivered drinking water from municipal utilities is very small, even if some high-profile examples of failure (see Flint, MI) have degraded public confidence to a degree. Our treatment professionals usually hit their targets, so the onus then shifts to the research and guidance that determines the safe level of various constituents through U.S. EPA protocols. But there is one contaminant that rulemaking hasn’t quite caught up to and which is downright deadly — Legionella pneumophila.

• 4 Keys To Adopting Industry 4.0 At Your Water Processing Facility

  As the water industry continues to walk the road of digital transformation, here’s a step-by-step guide to help utilities keep pace.

• AMERICAN Flow Control SEMPER® RPM Provides Critical Help For Birmingham Water Works

  In October 2021, the Birmingham Water Works (BWW) in Birmingham, Alabama, discovered a broken water main in one of its city centers. Read the full case study to see how SEMPER RPM provided critical help.

• IoT-AMR Solution For Water Distribution Network

  The top 1000 largest business customers have a combined consumption of around 26 million m3of water. For these companies, Vitens has launched an AMR (Automatic Meter Reading) tender, that provides realtime information on their water usage and invoicing.

• Be There Without Being There – SITRANS Store IQ

  After years of relying on an inflexible tracking process, A.P. Nonweiler introduced cloud-based remote monitoring technology to increase inventory transparency, save valuable man-hours, and minimize the risk of costly shutdowns.

• Optimal Coagulant Dosage Control Of Raw Water

  The following describes how combining of the latest data management and process management solutions can optimize the coagulation process. Coagulation is influenced by several raw water parameters. This new approach uses a feedforward model with machine learning of several raw water parameters for optimal coagulant dosage control. In addition, feed-back control can be used to trim the feed-forward model. In 2020, utilities that have installed the coagulation optimization system have achieved approximately 10% reduction in coagulant dosage while achieving similar settled turbidity.

• Emergence Of Smart Irrigation Technologies To Help Overcome Shortcomings Of Conventional Agriculture Practices

  Smart irrigation technology refers to the integration of many scientifically advanced solutions to help in the remote automation and monitoring of the irrigation process. The use of smart irrigation technologies has played a key role in helping the agriculture industry overcome the drawbacks of conventional agricultural practices. 

• Pressure Transients And Water Conservation In A Time Of Drought

  With water supply at a premium and pipelines deteriorating, drinking water utilities must do all they can to preserve their existing assets.

• 900 Series System Ensures Quality, Increases Production, And Reduces Chemical Usage And Overall Costs

  New Myron L® Company 900 Series system implementation for pH, Conductivity/TDS, and Temperature control ensures quality, increases production, and reduces chemical usage and overall costs in 5-Stage Pre-treatment Process prior to powder coat.
