Tracking Water Quality in Real-Time: A Game-Changer for WWTP Operators | WEFTEC SERIES | EP 4

Michael Oswell of Proteus joins Michael Groselle, P.E. to talk about real-time water quality monitoring for WWTP operators, cities and industry.

In this episode of Engineers for Communities, host Michael Groselle, P.E. is joined by Michael Oswell from Proteus to talk about advances in water quality monitoring. They look at how real-time monitoring is changing water and wastewater management for operators, municipalities and industrial clients.

The conversation shows the role real-time monitoring plays in protecting water quality for communities, industry and the environment.

Guest

Michael Oswell, Proteus. Hosted by Michael Groselle, P.E.

In this episode

  • Multiprobe sensors that measure turbidity, temperature, pH, conductivity and more in a single, easy-to-use device.
  • Remote monitoring through SCADA integration, or standalone battery-powered units in hard-to-reach locations.
  • How the sensors help operators catch problems such as BOD spikes or pollution sources upstream, saving time and cost.
  • Uses that range from influent and effluent monitoring at wastewater plants to industrial discharge checks and stream monitoring.
  • Case studies where real-time data found unpermitted discharges and led to better operating decisions.
