  1. Math Solutions Explained: Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) mg/L 8/23/2021

    Water Online’s “Math Solutions Explained” series, presented by wastewater consultant and trainer Dan Theobald (“Wastewater Dan”), educates operators by explaining BOD mg/L calculations.

  2. Applying Variable Speed Compressors In Multiple Compressor Applications 8/23/2021

    Variable speed control for all types of industrial equipment is readily available on the market with competitive pricing to non-variable speed controlled alternatives, including in the air compressor industry. With the advent of prescriptive rebate programs for variable speed compressors and other equipment, the demand for these types of controls has increased.

  3. Dairy Warms To Digital Twins 8/11/2021

    To meet ever-more-demanding safety regulations and to keep pace with the rapid proliferation of new dairy products, all while optimizing operations across the entire enterprise, dairy processors are increasingly turning to digital twins. This article explores this new automated solution that enables manufacturers to model production processes and asset performance in a safe, virtual environment.

  4. Driving Smarter Decisions With Your Water Data 8/6/2021

    OSIsoft brings you some perspective on how the U.S. water utility sector has evolved – and continues to evolve – in its use and management of data.

  5. Memosens 2.0: Cutting-Edge Sensor Technology Reloaded 8/3/2021

    Memosens technology converts the measured value to a digital signal and transfers it inductively to the transmitter. With signal alarms in the event of transmission disruption, Memosens offers safe data transfer for increased availability of the measuring point and trouble-free processes. With Memosens 2.0, measuring points become completely future-proof and ready for IIoT.

  6. Battling Biofilm 8/2/2021

    Biofilms are extremely complex ecosystems that provide excellent protection for the microorganisms within. This often makes them difficult to kill, even with chlorine. Basic understanding of biofilm ecosystems and their behavior to chlorine and other oxidizing biocides can offer valuable insight into achieving better microbial control. 

  7. Shining A Light On Global Water Stress 8/2/2021

    The word “unprecedented” is overused and often abused. Water stress, however — the situation in which the water resources in a region or country are insufficient for its needs — is today a major threat and we are in fact facing “unprecedented” challenges. Climate change is a big factor contributing to it, but it’s not the only factor. Without rapid changes in industrial water usage, it is predicted that within 10 years there will be a 40 percent global water deficit.

  8. Using Data To Solve The Food Operations Dilemma 8/2/2021

    In the face of coronavirus disruption and changing consumer attitudes, food operations managers face many new challenges. Better use of data will help the industry improve flexibility, efficiency, and visibility. Improved automation will also help senior managers focus more on strategic priorities rather than tactical operational improvements. But any insights-driven strategy relies on clean, accessible data. For example, a centralized system of record enables food operations managers to benchmark operational performance using many new KPIs, such as overall equipment effectiveness. The wealth of data it provides can then be analyzed to identify ways to improve operational efficiency.

  9. Reevaluate Your Filtration Processes As “Better for You” Product Meets Flavor Trends 7/30/2021

    Learn more about how new trends in the food and beverage industry are driving evolution of the flavor market. These insights will make you reevaluate your manufacturing and filtration processes.

  10. Achieve Functional, High-Quality Plant Proteins With Pall Purification Solutions 7/29/2021

    In order to preserve protein’s natural functionalities, the production process must minimize potential denaturation effects induced by thermal, chemical or mechanical stress and prevent carrying natural contamination such as suspended solids, bioburden, fat and antinutritional factors. This paper reviews different filtration techniques used in the industry and offers insights into how the process effects the final product.
