Abwasserzweckverband Breisgauer Bucht" is a municipal association for sewage treatment in the south of Germany and operates a central wastewater treatment plant for its members (29 communities and cities).
With growing awareness for the ecologic and economic use of resources and a high number of legal provisions which, among other demands, need to fully prove the efficiency of water protection measures and special constructions, a highly dense measurement data network is indeed required.
The relevance of water volume measurement is growing, especially in large diameters. The challenge associated with fresh water or cooling water processes is to create accurate flow recordings or to document and regulate individual consumptions and withdrawal volumes.
Some time ago, Water Company Directors invited NIVUS to know how the latter can show savings in AMP 5.
The radar measurement technique plays an increasingly significant role in the wastewater and water field. This is specifically revealed by the "Metering outside of the medium" trend. Flow measurement by means of radar, which allows contactless measurements, has become a key focal point.
Innovative sensor technologies, and smarter ways of incorporating more intelligence, continue to create surprising opportunities in the changing MEMS business.
The radiant power received by a radiometer is both a function of the quantified target temperature and the optical properties of its surface.
Many types of sensor now use graphene as the response material and has become a hot area of graphene research. Despite not being the most obvious use of graphene to outsiders, it is an area in which a lot of research is being undertaken and commercialized.
