Where Innovation in Wastewater Treatment Is Quenching the Need of a Growing Population

December 19, 2024

Water is a global issue, but the management of water and wastewater is determined locally, characterized by topography, population and industry requirements.

The one constant in cities throughout the world is that we have to achieve more with fewer resources. This requires innovation to develop new methodologies that reduce the risk of water shortages by increasing resilience, optimizing water production while reducing energy consumption, and minimizing the threats posed by flooding, contamination and poisoning.

ABB is a major provider in this innovation, with its advanced technologies in digitalization, electrification and automation. You can register to download a report from the link below, as well as view a video and a spotlight on the subject. The report will show you how ABB can quantifiably help wastewater treatment plants reduce carbon emissions and achieve improvements in cost efficiencies, productivity and energy usage.

Why Integrated Safety is the Right Strategy for Large, Complex Applications

During the safety design process for a machine or application, manufacturers must choose whether these measures will be implemented as a standalone or networked (integrated) safety solution. Basic safety solutions can work for smaller-size applications, but when people are talking about large automation production lines, for example, complexity makes these unworkable. Integrated safety isn’t just a highly effective way to mitigate risk. In fact, it’s a key element in building a high-performing, future-ready manufacturing facility since it’s capable of improving automation efficiency and boosting throughput.

Littelfuse Survey Reveals Electrical Shock Prevention Needs a Jolt of Change

Littelfuse, Inc.,, an industrial technology manufacturing company empowering a sustainable, connected and safer world, reported its annual electrical safety survey exposed that almost all respondents had witnessed someone working on or near energized equipment of more than 50 volts. Over 50 volts puts people at risk for electrical shock and electrocution.

Ground Fault Nuisance Tripping in VFD Applications

 

Ground faults are characterized by the accidental connection of a live circuit to a grounded conductor. If the ground connection is solid enough there is a potential for extremely high currents flowing through the live circuits to ground.  The current may be high enough to trip any upstream breakers or blow fuses. Tripping breakers or blowing fuses should render the machinery where the ground connection was made safe to personnel.

Engineering More Reliable Electrical Systems in Wastewater Treatment Plants

Maintaining wastewater treatment plants is essential to meeting the critical need for clean water. In the United States alone, about 34 billion gallons of wastewater is processed each day. Much of this can be attributed to increasingly stringent, but environmentally necessary, government regulations that now require companies processing chemicals, pesticides, and other harmful materials to recover ninety-five to ninety-nine percent of water from waste streams before releasing it back into the environment.
