Drinking Water Application Notes

1. Analyzing Total Organic Carbon In Sea Water 4/2/2015

   The analysis of Total Organic Carbon (TOC) in seawater can be both challenging and expensive. The concentration of organic carbon in seawater is of considerable interest. The effect this matrix can have on TOC analyzers can lead to rapid consumable turnover, costly maintenance and repairs.

2. Pipe Repair On A Budget 3/7/2014

   A new pipe-repair solution promises to save time and money, while also being sustainable, long-lasting, fully scalable, and safe for workers.

3. Biofouling Control In Cooling Towers With A Halogen Stabilizer 10/22/2020

   Biofouling in cooling towers is undesirable because it can reduce heat transfer efficiency, restrict water flow, and accelerate corrosion rates. Of even greater concern is the fact that pathogen growth in cooling towers can lead to disease transmission. Given the favorable growth environment of a cooling tower, these microorganisms can reproduce, proliferate and form complex biofilm communities. Legionella bacteria, which cause Legionnaires’ disease, are one of the greatest concerns from a public health standpoint because infections are often lethal and cooling towers are the most frequently reported non-potable water source of Legionnaires’ disease outbreaks (Llewellyn 2017).

4. The 'First Line Of Defense' In Protecting Membrane Filters 8/9/2019

   Multi-element, self-cleaning pretreatment filters optimize membrane filter life and production while minimizing maintenance and downtime.

5. Real-Time Conductivity Monitoring Estimates Chloride Levels In Minnesota Watershed By Using The Aqua TROLL 200 11/18/2011
   Monitoring deicing chemical levels can help researchers, city governments, and regulatory agencies understand runoff impacts on surface water, groundwater, and surrounding environments.
6. TOC Monitoring In Process Return Condensate 4/23/2021

   Industrial power plants or co-generation power plants utilize steam for industrial purposes other than power production.

7. 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
8. Pikeville, Kentucky Medical Center Leak Found Despite Ambient Noise 6/23/2021

   Leaks found in 60 psi high density PE pipe by FELL in less than three hours. Acoustic and CCTV failed to find any leaks after more than a year of investigation. Read the full case study to learn more. 

9. Protection Of Membrane Systems Utilized For Municipal Water 12/1/2020

   As water scarcity issues around the world become more acute, more municipalities are having to turn to alternative water sources for potable water supplies. Also, many municipalities in coastal areas are seeing the quality of their water sources degrade as sea water intrusion occurs.

10. Circuit Board Cleanliness Testing 10/29/2021

    Contamination of circuit boards can bring about severe degradation of insulation resistance and dielectric strength. Cleanliness of completed circuit boards is, therefore, of vital interest. For those companies who have established circuit board cleaning procedures, the MIL Spec P-28809 has been used as a guideline for control. Now a simple "on line" test for the relative measurement of ionic contamination has been developed.
