Webinar: Biological Nutrient Removal Applications For Monitoring Oxidation Reduction Potential

Join our free webinar on October 14th from 2:00-2:45 p.m. EDT  

Register now to join Dr. Robert Smith for an informative webinar addressing biological nutrient removal applications for monitoring oxidation reduction potential (ORP).

Online monitoring of ORP  provides valuable feedback on the status of biological nutrient removal.  An ORP sensor is most similar to a pH sensor in design and function but more similar to a dissolved oxygen sensor in application.  

The understanding of ORP is less intuitive than DO because it is a relative measurement.   However, the benefit of ORP is that it provides much greater resolution of the conditions in the reactor at very low DO concentrations.  

For example, monitoring the value of and the change in ORP allows determination of the endpoints of nitrification and denitrification and when suitable conditions exist for phosphate release, a critical step in the Enhanced Biological Phosphorus Removal (EBPR) process.  

In addition to applications, the webinar will discuss ORP measurement principles and proper ORP sensor maintenance and calibration.  

Dr. Rob Smith is Applications Engineer – Wastewater at YSI.  He has nearly 20 years of experience as a wastewater treatment specialist.  His job responsibility at YSI is to assure customers obtain high quality, useful data from their YSI instruments.

The live webinar will be recorded and you will receive a link afterwards to view the recording.
