Drinking Water Application Notes

1. Fountain Testing Solutions 10/29/2021

   Accurate fountain (dampening) solution concentration control is essential for consistent, high-quality results in lithography. Low concentration can cause drying on the non-image area of the plate resulting in tinting, scumming, blanket piling, etc. High concentrations, on the other hand, bring about over-emulsification of the ink. This results in weakening of color strength and changes in ink rheology (body and flow properties). Correct concentration will allow the non-image areas of the plate to be appropriately wetted.

2. Industry-Specific Applications For UV Technology 6/17/2024

   In Microelectronics, Aquafine UV systems provide a synergistic approach towards the reduction of trace organics and microbial contamination for ultrapure water.

3. 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

4. How To Read An Encoder 9/13/2013

   The HR-E LCD encoder has a 9-digit Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) to show consumption, flow and alarm information. The display automatically toggles between 9-digit and 6-digit consumption, rate of flow and meter model.

5. Optimization Of Water Treatment Using Zeta Potential 5/27/2020

   Drinking water in the US and developed nations of the world is treated to remove contamination of foreign materials, both mineral and organic.

6. UV Technology Offers Solution For Emerging Water Crisis 2/19/2014

   Many are turning to UV as an effective barrier to enable the reuse of wastewater, for indirect reuse, and aquifer recharge.

7. Immediate pH Correction For Fluctuating Flow 2/19/2014

   In a number of water, wastewater and industrial process applications, pH is one of the most critical and highly sensitive analytical measurements.  Examples of critical pH applications include: Reverse Osmosis (RO) systems in which a controlled feed of caustic solution is typically added to the feed stream in order to convert a portion of dissolved carbon dioxide into bicarbonate precipitate allowing for removal by the RO membrane.

8. Bridge Crossings And The Proper Use Of EX-TEND®, FLEX-TEND®, And Force Balanced FLEX-TEND Products 11/1/2020

   Of particular interest when it comes to bridges is the locating of pressurized water lines on and under bridge structures. Pressurized pipelines can present a number of unique challenges to the design engineer and utility owner.

9. Removal Of Chloramines With Activated Carbon 12/30/2013

   In order to reduce the formation of harmful disinfection byproducts in drinking water, alternative disinfectant use has become increasingly widespread. Monochloramine is a leading alternative disinfectant that offers advantages for municipal water. This tech brief details the removal of monochloramine using activated carbon.

10. The Active Control Program For Advanced UV Oxidation 12/1/2025

    This application note will explore how active control programs lower operational costs of compliant contaminant removal.
