For watershed monitoring, samples are needed from multiple locations that are typically far from each other. As traveling to remote locations is itself very time consuming, the time spent on doing the water analysis, from sample collection to getting the…
These organic compounds can cause challenges for the water treatment plant by increasing coagulant demand, causing taste and odor issues and increasing demand for disinfectants. Even when the organics themselves are not a health hazard, when combined with chlorine they…
Drinking water plants that use surface water or groundwater under the influence of surface water are susceptible to high levels of organic matter in the raw water. Reduction of organic matter through coagulation/ sedimentation and filtration plays a critical role…
Both streaming current detectors (SCD) and UV254 analyzers can provide significant benefits for real-time optimization of the coagulation process. However, there are some fundamental differences between the two approaches. The main difference between SCD and UV254 analyzers for coagulation control…
The Village of Port Williams is a thriving agricultural community in Nova Scotia, Canada. Like many agricultural communities, long-term fertilizer application to the land has led to elevated levels of nitrate in groundwater. Nevertheless, the local water supply plant continuously…
A Water Treatment Plant (WTP) in Ontario, Canada produces high quality, safe drinking water for over 90,000 residence despite a challenging water source. The plant pumps water from the Grand River which spans 300 kilometers from Dufferin County, discharging into…
A surface water treatment plant (WTP) in Ohio has successfully used six Real Tech Real UV254 online analyzers in their WTP for over seven (7) years to help monitor and achieve the highest levels of organics removal and UV disinfection…
Although an effective treatment aid, residual permanganate in your treated water is undesirable and often leads to consumer complaints when pink water pours out of their tap. Careful control of permanganate dosing can be achieved with real-time permanganate monitoring, resulting…
The Ridgway Water Treatment Plant (WTP) in Elk County Pennsylvania uses a Real Tech Real UV254 online analyzer to achieve a 20-30% savings in annual coagulant use in their conventional water treatment process. The dual-feel Real UV254 analyzer is used to continuously monitor…
Control of dissolved organics has been one of the highest priority concerns for most water treatment plants for over 20 years. Organics monitoring is an even more critical issue today in the face of more stringent regulations and concerns around trace organics,…
