Briefs:
November 8 Webinar: Combustion
Flue Gas Treatment.
This
webinar on November 8 will cover
the markets and activities of
individual purchasers. Sixteen
power companies will buy 55
percent of the flue gas
treatment systems next year.
The top Waste to Energy system
suppliers are building and
operating multiple plants. The
individual owner purchases of
wet systems with lots of pumps
and valves and dry systems with
pneumatic conveyors and dry
solids flow control will be
assessed. The role of catalyst,
lime and ammonia suppliers will
be covered.
The purchases of instrumentation
and reagents will be changed by
the trend toward remote O&M.
Also, the role of user groups
and McIlvaine services in
creating clear total cost of
ownership analyses will be
probed. The recent DSUA user
meeting where the benefits of
IIoT and Remote O&M were
demonstrated will be used as an
example. You can register at

Filtration and WEFTEC
Conferences in September both
Heralded IIoT
Herve BUISSON, VP Process
Engineering Americas of Veolia
was a keynote speaker at
Filtration 2017 organized by
INDA.
His talk was The Water
Industry Adoption of IIoT. The
previous week his firm was one
of the larger of the 1000
exhibitors at WEFTEC.
Herve provided details on
Aquavista, Veolia's digital tool
which provides
- Improved asset performance,
higher plant efficiency
- Lower operational and capital
costs, reduced maintenance,
chemical use and energy
consumption
- Full overview of equipment or
plant from a remote location and
online access to documentation
- Increased safety by leveraging
predictive analytics to mitigate
critical points
- Convenience of monitoring
multiple sites anywhere,
anytime, at any device through a
secure cloud-based system and a
single & intuitive portal
- Flexibility through an
agnostic
connection/communication system
adapted to customers
specifications, needs and
existing installations
- Proven results at hundreds of
municipal and industrial plants
connected to Aquavista today
Relative to the use of movement
up the chain from data to
wisdom, Herve cited Veolia
activities to determine

Concerns continue to be around
real-time water information (vs.
sampling and lab analysis) to prevent
pollution and toxic conditions
from arising from
aging infrastructure, climate
change and human/industry
underutilized waste products.
Anuarco segmented the following
five areas for innovation:
sensors, connection tools,
software, insight, and action
Six key features of
innovative IoT devices and
systems for
water quality are:
The McIlvaine thesis is that the
Industrial Internet of Wisdom (IIoW)
needs to empower IIoT.
This
is explained at
Navigating the New Market Route
for High Performance Products
and Services.
Veolia cites the KTPI and TCO
information.
Anurac cites field
readable data.
Both impact IIoW.
McIlvaine believes that there
will be a contribution from
high level subject matter
experts (Subject Matter Ultra
Experts) who will need to
evaluate the prolific data from
process management
systems such as Aquavista.
These SMUEs will often be
utilized for brief periods of
advice.
Therefore, the
availability of data on phones
or iPad will be very
advantageous.
McIlvaine will continue
to review the Filtration and
WEFTEC conferences next week.
If you were a WEFTEC
speaker or exhibitor and have
some input for us relative to
IIoT we would like to consider
it.
