Five reasons why the laboratory is your best friend for the sensor technologies at your water utility
Water laboratories have specific skills and expertise that makes them uniquely qualified to support routine sensor use and help ensure data quality.
The chicken-and-egg situation of inline sensors and certification
The lack of certification can be a barrier for the implementation of in-line sensors for drinking water quality monitoring. But there is reason for optimism.
A short history of sensor developments for water monitoring – how did we get where we are today?
Since the late nineteen sixties, water monitoring experts have been engaged in an arms race with the industrial sector to determine the effects of discharges of a wide variety of chemicals into the environment, and to feed regulatory bodies with the necessary information to adequately protect public health.
Lessons learnt during Covid 19 pandemic can help us tackle climate change issues
Despite its terrible consequences, the worldwide virus outbreak offers us the possibility to learn essential lessons about the automation process in the water industry, and enables us to make the necessary improvements for a future which will inevitably bring many more challenges.
How many sensors are used at water utilities?
Drinking water utilities deploy on average more than 100 water quality sensors from source to tap, whereas wastewater utilities install on average 60 sensors per utility. These numbers are expected to increase in the coming years.
Suffering from alarm fatigue? Here’s what to do about it and why
Too many water quality alarms create unnecessary distractions and increase the risk of serious alarms being overlooked. Two solutions can help reduce the number of alarms and increase the efficiency of the alarm-handling process.
Microbial sensors and risk-based monitoring
Microbial sensors support risk-based monitoring strategies related to Water Safety Plans, to ensure bacteriologically safe drinking water.
The similarities between water quality sensors and real estate
A sensor installed in the wrong location loses its value just like real estate does
