Case Study: Australia Saves Money On Dissolved Oxygen Monitoring

Dissolved oxygen (DO) monitoring and control plays an important role in the biological processes of wastewater treatment plants.

The cost of DO sensing, monitoring and control systems can often constitute less than 1% of the overall capital cost in the construction of wastewater treatment plants. But, engineers and operators are discovering that the role played by DO monitoring can have a tremendous impact on the on-going operations costs of these plants.

For example, as much as 60% of the energy costs of a wastewater treatment plant is directly associated to the blower operations for the biological reactor, where the DO control systems are located. Reliable and accurate measurement of DO in this instance has the ability to reduce the wastewater treatment plant's operating cost considerably. Long term and real life studies conducted by users of the Royce Technologies DO monitoring systems in Australia have experienced energy savings in the double digit percentage range.

This key to improving the plant's bottom line is directly related to the performance of the dissolved oxygen monitoring system. Royce Technologies DO systems are fast becoming the number one choice for operators in the Australian marketplace for two primary reasons.
