Application Note: The Ultrameter II™ In Municipal Wastewater Treatment

By Myron L Company

Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTWs) are faced with the challenge of processing the effluent wastes of multiple sources: residential, industrial, and environmental. Under laws governing pretreatment, the ultimate responsibility in determining whether or not industrial effluent meets criteria for treatment belongs to the POTW. Once the POTW has the effluent waste within the confines of its treatment facility, it is accountable to the federal, state, and local regulations governing the quality of the wastewater it discharges into lakes and streams or injects underground. Sampling must be done to ensure the water quality that will ultimately be discharged into the environment meets established guidelines. Monitoring and/or controlling various water quality parameters is also essential to optimizing treatment processes and ensuring their effectiveness. The Myron L Company has designed a highly reliable, accurate, precise handheld instrument that gives you instant measurements of pH, Conductivity, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP)/Redox, Resistivity, and Temperature to monitor and control these parameters easily in your treatment facility.
