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…
Wastewater treatment professionals in the Pulp and Paper industry face difficult challenges. Many of the manufacturing processes are heavily reliant on water, resulting in large volumes of wastewater that can contain complex mixtures of organic pollutants, solids, and other chemicals….
Up against their BOD permit limit, the Rand-Whitney Containerboard mill in Montville, Connecticut was proactively seeking solutions that would enable them to monitor their production processes more closely with the goal to identify sources of high wastewater loading and make…
Reducing product loss and limiting COD discharge to the municipal sewer system were key goals for a dairy manufacturing plant. The facility looked to Real Tech to help achieve these goals, installing an industrial grade, real-time BOD/COD probe on the…
UVT PRODUCT SELECTION QUICK QUIDE When it comes to real-time UV transmittance (UVT) analysis, Real Tech provides two primary forms of instruments to choose from: a bypass style cabinet instrument and a submersible probe instrument. How do you decide which…
ABOUT UVT UV transmittance, UV transmission or UVT is a measurement of the amount of ultraviolet light (commonly at 254 nm due to its germicidal effect) that passes through a water sample compared to the amount of light that passes…
In closed low-pressure water heating and cooling systems, sodium nitrite is a commonly used inhibitor that prevents oxygen related corrosion. It inhibits corrosion by promoting formation of protective films on surfaces. When nitrite is used as a corrosion inhibitor, it…
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…
