Continuous SAC₂₅₄ Determination Of Organic Pollutants Supports Management Of Municipal Collection Systems

For optimized system efficiency, collection system technicians and wastewater treatment operators want to profile the organic pollutant content of wastewater in the collection system. With this information, they can

• Quantify pollutant loading to the sewage system
• Manage rain basins based on pollutant loading
• Manage accumulation capacity in the drain network to level out peaks and troughs in pollutant inflow
• Monitor indirect inlet lines

organic pollution of wastewater at a drain network spillway over a period of four days, as measured by continuous UV absorption of dissolved organic substances in the water and displayed as Spectral Absorption Coefficient (SAC). This figure also shows the height of overflow above the spillway, as measured by volumetric flow.
