Drinking Water Application Notes

  1. Determining Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) With Lovibond® OxiDirect 3/12/2026

    The Biochemical Oxygen Demand over a testing period of n days (BODn) is precisely defined and associated with experimental standards. It represents the quantity of oxygen aspirated in the course of aerobic breakdown of organic substances by microorganisms.

  2. Automatic Rinse Tank Controls 10/29/2021

    Proper rinsing is one of the most important steps in quality manufacturing or metal finishing. Plenty of low cost, good quality water for rinsing has been available in the past, so rinse water conservation has been largely ignored.

  3. A New Way Of Designing With Reverse Osmosis Membranes 7/23/2015

    Process design in water treatment is historically confined to proprietary or user-defined spreadsheets on a unit operation basis, with users manually adding results from each unit process upstream into the next operation.

  4. 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.

  5. Why Should We Care About NSF/ANSI 61 Certification? 3/17/2021

    According to National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), it's a set of standards relating to water treatment and establishes criteria for the control of equipment that comes in contact with either potable water or products that support the production of water.

  6. Reduce Or Eliminate Water Hammer With Valve Positioners 5/19/2022

    Water hammer, which can occur in just about any pumping system and even steam systems, can lead to pipe breakage, equipment damage or even total system failure. Addressing water hammer at the source is the savviest and most cost-effective way to handle the issue.

  7. Determination Of Pesticide Residues In Tea 4/10/2015

    In 2012, Americans consumed well over 79 billion servings of tea, which is just over 3.60 billion gallons.

  8. Best Practices In Moist And Wet Gas Flow 12/20/2021

    The Wet Gas MASSter sensor is for use in applications that have a high level of moisture or condensation present in the gas flow stream that cannot otherwise be removed.

  9. Determination Of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons In Seafood 4/20/2015

    Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a large group of organic compounds found naturally in the environment. PAHs are monitored by the US Environmental Protection Agency due to their carcinogenic characteristics.

  10. Remote Monitoring And Maintenance Through Digitalization 3/17/2020

    Siemens offers the ability to make both process measurements, and to remotely monitor the activity and health of instrumentation, whether you have a SCADA, PLC or DCS system, or not. By utilizing Siemens’ ability to offer unparalleled flow, level, pressure, temperature, and weight measurement users will gain a broad range of process measurements and unequaled monitoring of the health and performance of those products.
