05.22.25 -- Water Disinfection: Last, But Not Least

Here are some insights that can help water treatment plant (WTP) operators deal with their internal concerns about DBPs and residual chlorine or ammonia levels, as well as their external concerns about customer perceptions of water quality.

Monitoring raw water turbidity is important to inform the operator of significant changes in water quality, especially turbidity, allowing the operator to make process chemistry changes to respond to the increasing raw water turbidity. Variations in raw water present turbidity measurement challenges different from those found elsewhere in a typical treatment plant.

As with so many other drinking water treatment processes, corrosion control demands a delicate balance among multiple factors. Keeping corrosion under control requires sound strategy and reliable execution. Here are several approaches to better, more effective corrosion control.

There is little doubt about the importance of taking turbidity readings as part of drinking water treatment. However, there are certain misperceptions about the associated requirements and procedures needed to confirm the validity of those readings.

Disinfection can rightly be called the “ultimate” stage of drinking water treatment — typically occurring at the end of the process, and acting as a final step before water is sent out of the plant, through the pipes, and into the world. It may come last, but it’s certainly not least.

A global healthcare company specializing in lifesaving medicines and technologies was looking for online TOC measurement for its production site. The first system that they chose offered no continuous measurement with TOC testing performed only as a follow-up measurement in the laboratory. Discover the new analyzer the site chose and how they came to this decision.
