Process Control & Optimization Questions
How can I automate my sewer systems to improve efficiency and reduce operational costs?
Automation offers significant improvements in system performance, operational efficiency, and cost reduction. By automating site processes, you can eliminate time-consuming manual tasks, reduce human error, and optimize workflows to ensure consistent performance. BlueEdge solutions are designed to automate a variety of tasks within sewer management, from data collection to process control, all while enhancing visibility and control over operations.
The Q46/Q45 series and con::lyte are equipped with embedded PID controllers to automate chemical dosing and maintain setpoints, such as a 0.3 mg/l chlorine level. The system adjusts the dosing pump speed to maintain the desired residual as water quality or flow fluctuates. These devices also support various communication protocols for easy data transfer to SCADA systems for automated control and monitoring.
How can I improve effluent water quality, reduce pollution events and prevent odor issues?
System control and optimization are practical means for managing wastewater treatment processes and plant networks to achieve the best utilization of resources. An optimal system can improve effluent quality and also reduce system costs. BlueEdge offers full-scale event detection with real-time early warning alarms that notify operators when water quality falls outside of the pre-set measurement parameters, which can be set according to local regulations.
Low maintenance, self-cleaning, and reagent-free instruments are essential for continuously collecting accurate data to optimize a treatment system over extended periods.
How can I digitize my site to improve efficiency, to prepare for greater technological advancements in the future?
Digitizing your operations ensures better asset management, efficiency, and future scalability. BlueEdge cutting-edge software solutions integrate seamlessly with SCADA systems, enabling centralized control and real-time monitoring of all processes. Through real-time analysis operators gain a comprehensive view of operations, ensuring all processes are monitored in real-time.
Additionally, Telog® RS-45, Ru-32mA and Ru-32imA RTUs provide continuous cellular communication for devices located in the field with low/no power and harsh environments. This allows data to be obtained in the ‘blind spots’ of a system, such as sewers, PRV vaults and distribution monitoring stations.
Sewer Management Questions
How can I visualize, predict and minimize septicity events in sewer networks, reducing operating costs?
Our unique BlueEdge solutions combine liquid and gas phase sensors to provide continuous, accurate and real-time septicity monitoring for sewer networks. Data links directly to the customer's preferred RTU and SCADA systems, providing enhanced monitoring and control capabilities, and reducing operating expenses due to efficient and effective processes.
How can I ensure my treatment process aligns with my sustainability goals?
With flexible deployment options and multiparameter monitoring tailored to your needs, we believe choice matters. Whether plants require individual water quality monitors or multiparameter measurements, our trusted water quality sensors measure parameters essential for determining contamination events in wastewater effluents. Using tailored, scalable BlueEdge solutions, we secure additional wastewater storage, reduce river overflow and pollution, and monitor every area of a wastewater network. From inlets to treatment plants and CSOs; outlets and overflows from CSOs; pumping stations, and manholes, our solutions are specifically designed to protect the world`s most precious source, along with reducing chemical usage, the electrical cost of pumps and blowers, and wasted water in the treatment process.
How can I meet discharge requirements without using chemical reagents?
In-network water quality probes can detect unforeseen events. Our battery-powered, autonomous solutions allow operators to take water quality monitoring into the field to see what happens to the water before, during and after it leaves the treatment facility. Our efficient automatic cleaning options for water quality sensors, such as the ruck::sack and Q-Blast auto-cleaning systems, pair with the spectro::lyser V3 and Q46 monitors and make it easy to reliably remove fouling that occurs within sensing tanks, without using chemical reagents.
Regulatory Compliance Questions
How can I build a strategy to comply with evolving wastewater regulatory compliance?
Our products and solutions are manufactured to meet the regional current and future compliance standards when used in wastewater treatment facilities, delivering peace of mind that processes are efficient, effective and compliant. Full-scale event detection with real-time early warning alarms notifies operators when water quality falls outside of the pre-set measurement parameters, which can be set according to local regulations. Proactive alerts allow mitigating action, avoiding risks of complaints, corrosion and explosion.
Is it possible to monitor wastewater quality, flow and gas detection through one trusted supplier?
Advanced online monitoring of multiple water quality parameters, along with flow and pressure measurement, gas detection, odor and corrosion control, are all available through our BlueEdge portfolio. Our unique solutions combine all aspects of water quality control, including liquid and gas phase sensors, and flow and pressure measurement, to provide continuous, real-time monitoring.
How can I reduce pollution events and ensure water quality in my plant?
To reduce pollution and maintain water quality, it's important to regularly audit your systems, install pre-treatment processes, and monitor water quality in real-time. Using sensors for continuous monitoring of effluent and influent helps detect pollution early, while staying compliant with local regulations.
BlueEdge solutions offer real-time monitoring and proactive alerts to help identify potential issues before they escalate, ensuring regulatory compliance and supporting sustainability efforts across your plant.
Final Thoughts
With real-time monitoring, chemical dosing automation, and advanced sensors, you can improve efficiency, meet regulatory requirements, and support sustainability goals. BlueEdge™ ensures continuous, proactive monitoring, making wastewater management more effective, cost-efficient, and environmentally friendly.
