PARAMETERS TO MEASURE UNINTENDED LOSS IN WASTEWATER BOD, COD, TOC, TSS, Industry specific compounds OVERVIEW Several industries, including dairies, juice concentrate, breweries, as well as pulp and paper, lose significant quantities of materials with recoverable value in their waste streams….
UV254, TOC, DOC, BOD and COD all provide measures of different aspects of the organic content in a water sample. Each of these parameters possesses a certain bias due to the nature of the particular test method: ABSORBANCE AT 254…
BEER-LAMERT LAW The relationship between absorbance and concentration is defined by Beer-Lambert Law (or Beer’s Law). Beer’s Law states that the absorbance of light absorbing matter in water is directly proportional to its concentration, expressed by the following equation: A…
A dairy plant in Minnesota was reliant on daily BOD and COD grab samples for detection of product loss. This method was inadequate for proper management and the plant required a better solution to meet their needs. Real Tech provided…
PARAMETERS TO MEASURE FOR PRODUCT LOSS BOD, COD, TOC, TSS, Industry specific compounds OVERVIEW Several industries lose significant quantities of product in their waste streams including dairies, juice concentrate, breweries, as well as pulp and paper. Product lost to drain…
PARAMETERS TO DETECT CONTAMINATION BOD, COD, TOC, BTEX Dyes, surfactants, black liquor OVERVIEW In industries such as pulp and paper, textiles, petrochemical and pharmaceutical, toxic or difficult to treat contaminants can end up in the waste stream. Not being able…
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…
