Drinking Water Application Notes

1. Application Note: Desalination Plants: YSI Instruments Monitor Flow & Water Quality At Multiple Stages 2/3/2011
   Desalination is the process of removing salt from sea water or brackish river or groundwater to make potable water. By YSI
2. Application Note: Low-Flow Sampling Of Water Quality Parameters Used In Determining Groundwater Stability 1/20/2010
   In April 1996, the U.S. EPA developed and published a document entitled Low-Flow (Minimal Drawdown) Ground-Water Sampling Procedures. The document states that “the most common ground water purging and sampling methodology is to purge wells using bailers or high speed pumps to remove 3 to 5 casing volumes followed by sample collection.” Adverse impacts can occur through this method affecting sample quality by increasing levels of turbidity. These problems can often be mitigated by using low-flow purging and sampling to reduce sampling-induced turbidity. By YSI
3. Defining Drinking Water Plant Backwash Profile Using The SOLITAX™ Sc Suspended Solids And Turbidity Sensor 6/7/2013

   Today’s drinking water plants have many challenges to meet as they produce water for a fast-growing and increasingly demanding population.

4. 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.

5. Application Bulletin: Reverse Osmosis 3/19/2008

   Osmosis is the phenomenon of lower dissolved solids in water passing through a semi-permeable membrane into higher dissolved solids water until a near equilibrium is reached

6. 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.

7. Simplify And Optimize Your Process With Level And Pump Control 3/1/2022

   Level controllers have evolved to meet today’s environmental challenges and industry demands. Learn how they support improved process management and, ultimately, a better bottom line.

8. Irrigation Technology In Agriculture: How New Technologies Overcome Challenges 1/29/2019

   As the world’s population continues to increase at a fast pace, more food and water will be needed to sustain humanity. In the past 50 years, we have tripled our need for water and food, and there are no signs of this trend slowing down. As a result of these conditions, smart, innovative agricultural practices are needed now more than ever. Technology can, and already does, aid agriculture in innumerable ways. One prominent part of agriculture that can use technological innovation to increase efficiency and effectiveness is irrigation.

9. Scrubber Application 1/27/2022

   This customer supplies district heating and electricity for the region of Sønderborg. For one of their waste applications a MAG meter failed within 6 months, and was successfully replaced with a Panametrics Aquatrans AT600.

10. Application Note: YSI 600 Optical Monitoring System Used To Protect Lake Oconee, Georgia Water Quality 12/27/2005
    Northern Georgia is experiencing unprecedented development; consequently, water quality in many of its watersheds is in jeopardy of severe degradation. The State of Georgia, Environmental Protection Division (EPD) has implemented an NPDES monitoring and enforcement program designed to prevent construction activities from impacting water quality
