Wireless Instrumentation for the Water and Wastewater Industry
Stig Petersen, Bård Myhre, Jon Røstum · Procedia Engineering · 2014
IEEE Std. 802.15.4 for low-rate wireless personal area networks has been the enabling technology for applications within the field of wireless instrumentation, with the oil and gas industries being an early adopter of the technology. The idea behind the presented work is that the water and wastewater industries can take advantage of technology and knowledge from the oil and gas industries rather than starting from scratch. Through our analysis we suggest several application areas within the water and wastewater infrastructures where wireless instrumentation could provide both operational and financial benefits.
