Consider this. You’re a wastewater operator. You make your rounds of the plant first thing in the morning. Aeration tanks are black. Effluent? Terrible. You don’t know what happened. You could take a sample now, but the cause may have already passed through. What if you could capture that data and sample when the problem happened even though you’re not around?

That’s exactly the path that Evansville, Indiana’s West Wastewater Treatment Plant is on to try and solve its industrial pretreatment woes.
