CHALLENGE
With rising water costs, greater water scarcities and increasing environmental compliance regulations, reuse of water is becoming widely practiced in the manufacturing industry with some facilities moving towards zero liquid discharge (ZLD). Recovering and reusing wastewater from a manufacturing process requires treatment, whether basic or rigorous. To ensure treated water quality consistently meets strict compliance discharge requirements, monitoring is essential.
SOLUTION
Real-time monitoring of wastewater streams leaving the production plant for parameters and compounds such as TOC, BOD, COD and TSS provides treatment operation crews with the information they need to assess quality and improve the efficiency of treatment processes. Various processes from primary treatment to advanced treatment can be monitored, providing the information needed for optimization, quality checks and compliance.
RESULTS
- Recovery of condensate, RO permeate or vapor condensate low in organic matter
- Improved process efficiency through additional water quality monitoring
- Cost savings through lower municipal water requirements
