It’s a good time to be an oilfield water services company. Oil prices have stabilized above $100/bbl, the US rig count is the highest it’s been since pre-pandemic times, and the combination of domestic water shortages and ESG fund growth places a premium on sustainable water use. All together, oil & gas producers are willing to pay a premium for quality oilfield … Read more
In our last blog post, we gave an overview of the four types of sensors most commonly used in wastewater treatment facilities. Now we want to zoom in and take a closer look at how sensors help us measure water quality in particular. Maintaining water quality is crucial, of course, because nobody wants to drink, bathe, or use … Read more
Sensors are the foundation of water treatment control systems. They are what originally convert physical parameters from equipment and processes into digital information that machines and people can use. Put simply, water treatment plant control without sensors is a non-starter. Period. To understand what can be monitored, controlled, or automated in a water treatment plant, many are … Read more
Water treatment plant controls are used to monitor and control wastewater treatment plants, an absolute essential in the modern world. Today, 15,000 waste treatment plants help us clean domestic sewage gathered from nearly 1,000,000 miles of pipeline. In the U.S. and Europe alone, humans generate around 67 billion cubic meters of wastewater every year, all of which require treatment … Read more
Pumps are the backbone of numerous industrial processes. We use pumps today in dozens of industries – oil and gas, wastewater treatment, manufacturing, facilities management, and more – to move millions of gallons of water, crude oil, chemicals, and lubricants. In essence, wherever there are liquids, there are pumps. Pumps use mechanical energy to pressurize liquids … Read more
We’ve been making fantastic progress in our remote tank level monitoring blog series. Over the last few posts, we’ve covered how to pick the right tank level sensors, which industries benefit the most from remote tank monitoring, and what it takes to power up a complete solution. Today, we zoom in and discuss five specific industrial challenges that remote … Read more
