Closed-loop and recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) live and die by the nitrogen cycle. Total ammonia nitrogen (TAN) rises with every feeding event and every unit of fish biomass, and it falls only as fast as the nitrifying biofilter can convert it. When a biofilter is destabilized—by cold water, chlorine slug, antibiotic dosing, or overfeeding—TAN can…

Over the past two years, a growing number of utilities in Asia, the Middle East, and…
Something quiet but consequential is happening beneath the streets of the world’s cities. Water networks — some of them well over a century old — are being wired for the twenty-first century. Forecasters such as Transforma Insights expect the global installed base of smart water meters to approach 700 million connections by the end of…
To an operator standing on a treatment plant catwalk, an inline water quality sensor looks like a stainless-steel stick with a cable coming out of it. Underneath that plain exterior, though, is a small computer with an electrochemical front end, a communications stack, and — in modern designs — a set of firmware routines that…
Cloud analytics has quietly become the default backbone of new water utility digital projects. New treatment plants and distribution-network projects increasingly specify a cloud analytics component from the start — a share that was tiny just five years ago. But the phrase “cloud analytics” hides a stack of decisions that will shape a utility’s operations…
