With over 200 installations across Ireland, Real Tech in partnership with Glan Agua, are helping to improve process control and drinking water quality. Simple and affordable real-time UV254 organics analyzers from Real Tech are enabling plants to rapidly detect organic fluctuations in raw…
PARAMETERS TO MEASURE IN THE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM Nitrite, nitrate, total chlorine, monochloramine, free chlorine, ammonia, TOC, pH, temperature OVERVIEW Nitrification events can be costly to remediate and harm your community’s trust in their water supply. Catching nitrification early and reliably lets you…
A water supplier in New York State uses the Real Tech Real Nitrate sensor to monitor finished water quality leaving the station to ensure compliance with drinking water standards for nitrate (NO3–) and provide feedback control to effectively blend multiple…
The purpose of source water monitoring is to enable drinking water treatment facilities to identify changes in water quality, implement treatment strategies based on the characteristics of the water, optimize the treatment processes, and take preventative actions to protect the source water…
SPECTROPHOTOMETRY OVERVIEW Spectrophotometry is a well-established analytical method, which has been used for decades in chemistry, physics, biochemistry, and chemical engineering for quantitative analyses. A light source and sensor are used to measure the intensity of light passing through a water sample…
Specific ultraviolet absorbance (SUVA) provides a general characterization of the nature of natural organic matter (NOM) in a water sample and is typically performed for the purpose of determining disinfection by-product (DBP) formation potential. SUVA is calculated by dividing the…
Nitrate in source water can be challenging to manage and lead to potential non-compliance issues. Continuous monitoring of nitrate enables you to keep a real-time pulse on nitrate concentrations from source water to finished water, offering many benefits: Compliance with…
The Los Filtros Guaynabo Water Treatment Plant in Puerto Rico installed a Real UV254 M3000 analyzer to monitor raw water organics fluctuations and feed a coagulation optimization system supplied by local partners Montanas Electric, Inc. and Nator Corporation. With reliable…
BENEFITS OF REAL-TIME MONITORING UV disinfection performance assurance Dose pacing for energy savings OVERVIEW UV disinfection for water treatment or wastewater treatment is a process where a system disinfects water using UV light to damage the DNA of microorganisms in…
When looking at source water monitoring for drinking water treatment, the terms colour and natural organic matter (NOM) are often interchanged. This may be due to organic matter, such as humic acids, causing visible colour in surface water. However, its…
