Smart Water Distribution Network

Network Solutions

Flow

Badger Meter ModMag Electromagnetic Flow Meter
Electromagnetic flow meters manage critical flow applications to improve accuracy, decrease system maintenance and meet the demands of challenging liquid conditions. This volumetric flow meter does not have any moving parts and is ideal for wastewater applications, or any dirty liquid that is conductive
or water-based.

Badger Meter Dynasonics & E-Series Ultrasonic Flow Meters
Ultrasonic flow meters are inferential meters that use ultrasonic technology to measure the velocity of an acoustically conductive liquid moving through it. There are two types of ultrasonic flow meter technologies, including Doppler & transit time. In addition to inline models, ultrasonic meters are available as clamp-on solutions, when contact with the measured fluid is not possible.

Water Quality

ATi MetriNet
Battery powered, continuous, real-time smart water quality monitoring from a choice of 16 ultra low powered, digital sensors. Delivering accurate, multi-parameter online data for proactive management of water quality in distribution networks.

ATi NephNet
NephNet online turbidity monitor is used to control both responsive flushing and controlled, planned cleaning, which helps to safeguard water quality for consumers. This technology offers a string of benefits to help water companies control their mains flushing, including continuous remote monitoring of turbidity, better accuracy at lower levels, fast connection to water mains via hydrants and wireless communications and alarms.

ATi SeptiNet
Designed specifically for applications in both wastewater treatment and sewer networks, SeptiNet generates continuous and accurate ORP and Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) data for septicity prevention, allowing the management of odour and corrosion, whilst reducing the formation of hazardous atmospheres and negative environmental impacts.

ATi Q Series
The Q-Series range offers industry-leading monitoring solutions for over 20 parameters, trusted for the most demanding of clean and wastewater applications and used by water utilities globally. Our reagent-free water quality monitoring range offers a no-compromise approach to measurement in potable distribution, process and wastewater treatment, helping to drive down complaints, improve compliance ratings and reduce costs.

ATi FilterSmart
The FilterSmart Gravity Filter Backwash Monitor directly measures the parameters of actual interest: media expansion and turbidity. These two trends together present a clear picture of what’s going on during the backwash, allowing operators to ‘see’ into the process like never before.

During a backwash, the ultrasonic sensor tracks the level of the media and the turbidity sensor measures how clean or dirty the wash water is as it flows into the wash trough. These two measurements produce trends that together provide an extremely accurate profile of the backwash and become a powerful tool for optimising filter performance.

s::can pipe::scan
The pipe::scan is a modular sensor system for monitoring the quality of drinking water in pressurised pipes, measuring up to 10 parameters. The water quality data can be sent to any central database via almost any protocol.

s::can spectro::lyser
All spectrometer probes work according to the same principle: spectrometry. The s::can spectrometer probes are the first and only probes in the world that can measure optical spectra in the range of 190 to 720 nm directly in liquids. Substances contained in the liquid weaken a beam of light that is sent through it. A detector measures the light beam as it travels through the liquid and determines how much light has been absorbed.

s::can ammo::lyser
A multi-parameter probe for the online measurement of ammonium. A reliable device outclassing conventional analysers in terms of measurement stability and lifetime. Precision is guaranteed by real time compensation of the ammonium value, with temperature, pH and potassium and a high-performance reference electrode.

s::can micro::station
The s::can drinking water micro::station is designed for online monitoring of water quality parameters in clean media. The fully modular micro::station combines s::can instruments to a compact and versatile system. It presents a complete solution, as the user only has to connect water supply and discharge (plug & measure) to receive a previously unheard variety of immediately available information and parameters at no extra cost.

IoT

Badger Meter BEACON® Secure Cloud-Hosted Software Suite
The BEACON® Advanced Metering Analytics (AMA) cloud-based Software as a Service (SaaS) offers a utility management and consumer engagement solution to meet your meter reading, proactive exception management and reporting needs. The BEACON® AMA solution utilises our powerful ORION® endpoints to capture interval meter reading data through cellular, fixed network or mobile communication technologies.

Delivering smart septicity monitoring for Yorkshire Water

As one of the UK’s most innovative and proactive water companies, Yorkshire Water has embarked on a ground-breaking project, utilising a first-of-its-kind, combined liquid and gas smart sensor technology solution to monitor, manage and control septicity.  ATi’s Senior Service Engineer, Mark Holmes, discusses how this latest technology is transforming wastewater and sewer network management, offering the ultimate smart septicity solution.

Septic sewage delivered into an activated sludge plant creates considerable process complications, with far-reaching consequences across the whole water distribution system and the environment.  With regulations now more stringent, managing and controlling septicity has become increasingly complex and is one of the most critical challenges in wastewater treatment, with high levels proving costly due to toxicity, corrosion and odour.

Until now, water professionals traditionally used a range of monitoring techniques, including weekly samples, analysing sediments, controlling flow and developing aerobic environments.  Controlling septicity also relied on maintaining the supply of oxygen to oxidise previously formed Sulfide; minimising Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) gas emissions into the atmosphere, deodorising vented air and the use of protective coatings on pipes. 

However, as one of the only specialist manufacturers of both water and gas analytical sensors, ATi knew that negative Oxidation-Reduction Potential (ORP) readings in the region of -150mV and below, paired with high H2S gas values of 5ppm and above, were an indicator of septicity. By applying decades of expertise, ATi developed SeptiNet to provide a unified, smart solution for septicity monitoring and detection, utilising class-leading H2S gas and ORP water quality sensing.

As one of the UK’s most forward-thinking water companies, Yorkshire Water were keen to embrace these technological advances and became the first water utility to install the only pioneering, all-in-one septicity monitoring solution within a recently refurbished CSO as part of their drive for optimisation, resilience and safeguarding the environment. 

SeptiNet’s scalable, modular nature enables its operators to monitor wastewater quality, offering real-time, continuous data to their preferred platform via wireless or wired communications, delivering critical values to identify pollution issues.

Safeguarding Sewage

Wastewater becomes septic when organic matter decomposes and forms a foul smell, due to the absence of free oxygen. This common problem occurs within sewers when low flows and long retention times combine, resulting in bacteria multiplying in the anaerobic conditions that creates septicity. 

Consequent formation of H2S gas then causes a nuisance with its characteristic foul smell, leading to customer complaints.  This lethal gas also causes a hazard during entry into chambers and its reaction with moisture results in the formation of Sulphuric Acid, which has a costly, corrosive effect.

SeptiNet’s pioneering, preventative nature sees the ORP sensor submerged within the channel’s flow using ATi’s stainless steel, post-mount bracket system, offering flexibility when either positioning the sensor or when removing it for maintenance and cleaning.  The H2S gas sensor is then positioned above the channel and away from the sample water, with consideration taken as to where the H2S gas can be measured. Both sensors are directly hardwired into a GSM, which can be mounted either internally or externally to the CSO.

The unique nature of this combined data offers early indications of septicity, enabling access to data for both online and offline analysis and modelling.  This provides operators with an alert, allowing early decisions whether to dose chemical to counteract the septicity, or divert the flow. 

Early data from this project (see below) confirms the CSO is “healthy”, with ORP and H2S values within the accepted range.  However, if these levels deviate from the norm, it allows the water company to take preventative measures before septicity compromises the whole sewer network.

Prevention is better than the cure

Designed specifically for WWTW inlets, storm tanks, CSO inlets, outlets & overflows, pumping stations and manholes within the network, SeptiNet provides odour and corrosion management, reduces the formation of hazardous atmospheres and negative environmental impacts, safeguarding plants, whilst reducing overflow and pollution to rivers.

SeptiNet offers an end-to-end approach to managing wastewater assets and through innovative, smart technology, it is creating resilient, cost-effective and environmentally friendly wastewater systems, prolonging the life of assets and reducing pollution for a better, greener world.
