Calling On Utilities To Combat Legionella
5/5/2022
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.

Optimal Coagulant Dosage Control Of Raw Water
2/3/2022
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.

SWAN Corner: Unlock Data To Improve Water Distribution System Operations
7/14/2021
Water distribution system infrastructures are designed to deliver drinking water to end users, but utilities are continually faced with distinct challenges to fulfill this fundamental objective. For example, these utilities improve customer service by delivering water with high pressure, but on the other hand, water conservation policies push them to minimize water distribution leaks. For this reason, water utilities invest heavily in SCADA and telemetry technologies to support operational decisions. However, unlocking historical operational data and fusing it with other data (such as billing information from AMR/AMI networks) to generate actionable insights has proven difficult.
