INTRODUCTION In municipal and industrial water treatment, the “set it and forget it” mentality regarding chemical feed systems is a primary driver of operational inefficiency and compliance violations. While metering pumps and storage tanks are the muscles of the system, the instrumentation—specifically flow meters and level transmitters—acts as the nervous system. A surprising industry statistic […]
Introduction In municipal and industrial water treatment, flow measurement is arguably the single most critical variable for process control, yet it remains a primary source of operational inefficiency. It is estimated that flow measurement errors contribute significantly to the 20-30% of Non-Revenue Water (NRW) losses seen in many aging distribution systems. Furthermore, in wastewater treatment, […]
