Thermo Orion pH Electrode Provides Reliable Measurements,Cost Savings In Steam Cycle Applications
A steam generating plant requires very clean water and carefully controlled chemistry for proper operation of a boiler that runs at high temperatures and pressures.
Case Study: Gilbert-Summit Rural Water District - Gilbert, South Carolina
This radium removal pilot study was conducted for Gilbert-Summit Rural Water District in Gilbert, South Carolina. The raw water source for this pilot study was taken prior to any treatment, or the addition of any chemicals, and therefore operated only when the well was operating. Water from the well is treated with blended phosphate, fluoride and chlorine before it enters the distribution system. Naturally occurring radionuclides in the Gilbert- Summit Water District’s raw water source exceed current Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCL’s) for combined radium
Case Study: Borough of Point Pleasant, New Jersey
This radium removal pilot study was conducted for the Borough of Point Pleasant, New Jersey at the Well No. 8 treatment facility. The raw water source for this pilot study was taken prior to any treatment, or the addition of any chemicals. The pilot unit was run on a continuous basis throughout the study
Case Study: City of Sycamore, Illinois
The City of Sycamore, Illinois water system has three producing water wells to supply water to a community of 12,000 residents. The water produced from two of these wells contains concentrations of radium in excess of the maximum contaminant level (MCL)
Case Study: Brazos Domestic Mutual Water
PROBLEM: Feed concentration of uranium in water source was as high as 272.0 ppb, exceeding MCL standard of 30 ppb
Case Study: Aqua North Carolina
This pilot study was conducted for Aqua North Carolina using Water Remediation Technology’s (WRT) Z-92 Uranium and Z-88 Radium Treatment Processes. The purpose of this pilot study is to document the effectiveness of the WRT system on high uranium, radium, and raw gross alpha water, and to provide information necessary to meet regulatory compliance.

WATER QUALITY ANALYSIS

Water quality is based on the physical, chemical and biological characteristics of water. Therefore water quality analysis is the determination of the condition of water with regard to human consumption, industrial and domestic use as well as environmental water quality.

Water quality depends on the local geology and ecosystem, as well as human uses such as sewage dispersion, industrial pollution. In carrying out water quality analysis the following categories are used as baselines.

It is often important to analyze the quality of water after natural disasters because epidemics precede such calamities. This is usually carried out to ensure that water is safe and free from contaminates that arise because of the disturbance in the ecosystem.

Chemical Analysis to establish water hardness by assessing both calcium and magnesium levels, investigating presence of dissolved metals and metalloids eg lead, mercury and arsenic. Nutrient analysis for nitrogen and phosphorus is also carried out. Chlorine, sodium, and organic compounds are checked for as well.

Physical Analysis is done usually to evaluate Turbidity, color, and odour (Geosmin, 2-Methylisoborneol (MIB))

Biological Analysis mainly for Microorganisms such as fecal coliform bacteria (Escherichia coli), Cryptosporidium, and Giardia lamblia and viruses. Pathogens such as bacteria, virus’, ova and cysts, can be ingested through drinking water. Clear or clean water may still be microbiologically contaminated or contain chemical contaminants which are dangerous and hazardous to health, such as arsenic.

The quality of water is regulated by ISO is covered in the section of ICS 13.060, ranging from water sampling, water for drinking, industrial water, sewage or waste water, and examination of water for chemical, physical or biological properties. ICS 91.140.60 covers the standards of water supply systems.
