Drinking Water Analysis Application Notes

1. Application Note: Turbidity Monitoring In Drinking Water Treatment Plants
   8/30/2005

   Turbidity, or the relative clarity of a liquid (in this case drinking water), is caused by the presence of microscopic particles such as clay, silt, or other fine undissolved matter

2. Disinfection By-Products (DBP) Precursor Monitoring
   2/1/2013

   Chlorine has long been used as a primary disinfection method for many water and wastewater treatment applications. However, there is growing concern about the harmful DBP’s produced by the use of chlorine.

3. Determination Of Polar Pesticide Residues In Food Of Plant Origin, By And Automate QuPPe Solution
   9/29/2014

   The QuEChERS (Quick-Easy-Cheap-Effective-Rugged-Safe) sample extraction method was developed for the determination of pesticide residues in agricultural commodities.

4. Application Note: YSI Water Quality Monitoring Buoys Help Connecticut DOT Protect The Housatonic River
   12/27/2005
   When replacement of the Sikorski Bridge spanning the Housatonic River was authorized, Paul Corrente and the Connecticut Department of Transportation (CT-DOT) set about the design and development of a water quality monitoring program to monitor the contractor’s in-water activities to insure full protection of the river from perturbation
5. The Basics: ORP and Free Chlorine Monitoring
   5/13/2014

   Oxidation Reduction Potential or Redox is the activity or strength of oxidizers and reducers in relation to their concentration. Oxidizers accept electrons, reducers lose electrons. Examples of oxidizers are: chlorine, hydrogen peroxide, bromine, ozone, and chlorine dioxide. Examples of reducers are sodium sulfite, sodium bisulfate and hydrogen sulfide. Like acidity and alkalinity, the increase of one is at the expense of the other.

6. Monitoring Nitrates In Drinking Water And Wastewater

   Nitrate is present in high levels in wastewater due in part to the high nitrates present in human sewage but also from some types of industrial effluent entering the municipal sewer system.

7. ABB Aztec 600 Manganese Analyzer Optimizing Manganese Removal Efficiency
   11/15/2017

   The task of managing the quantity and quality of potable water is unimaginable without online instrumentation to help water utilities to measure, treat and deliver drinking water to consumers. ABB’s Aztec 600 colorimetric and ion-selective electrode (ISE) analyzers have been designed to measure the key parameters that affect water quality – aluminium, iron, manganese, phosphate, color, ammonia and fluoride.

8. Measuring The Chlorine Content In The Emergency Chlorination Of Waterworks
   12/14/2011
   Many municipal waterworks perform no permanent disinfection of drinking water. However, in many cases a process known as emergency chlorination takes place. The process is switched on in case of need, adding chlorine to the drinking water as a disinfectant.
9. Bottled Water Industry: Liquid Analytical Solutions
   11/10/2013

   Americans consume more than 9.1 billion gallons of bottled water annually - an average of twenty nine gallons per person every year. 

10. Alcoholic Beverage Fusel Alcohol Testing With Static Headspace
    9/2/2014

    A static headspace method was developed using Teledyne Tekmar automated headspace vial samplers to meet the method requirements of the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau of the US Department of the Treasury (TTB) method SSD: TM:2001 for testing fusel alcohols in alcoholic beverages.
