Drinking Water Application Notes

  1. Ion Exchange Resins Reduce Pollution From Refineries 12/23/2013

    A single operational oil and gas refinery produces millions of gallons of contaminated wastewater a year, leading to environmental pollution concerns. Ion exchange resins are a metal- and ion-removal solution to help clean this wastewater for plant reuse or safe disposal. This application guide explains how resins can be used to demineralize refinery water in process, boiler, and cooling water applications.

  2. 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.

  3. Performance Test Services For UV Advanced Oxidation Systems 12/1/2025

    UV AOP performance verification requires a robust test matrix covering design, operating, and control conditions. This process includes on-site execution, sample analysis, and troubleshooting to achieve successful regulatory approval.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  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. Application Note: Ozone Measurement In Potable Water 3/1/2010

    Ozone is a powerful oxidizing agent that can be used to destroy the organic compounds that affect the taste and odor of potable water. Environmental concerns have led to increased use of ozone because, unlike chlorine, it does not form hazardous by-products.

  8. LC-MS Analysis Of PFAS Compounds In EPA Methods 537.1, 533 And 8327 11/4/2021

    The Ascentis Express PFAS HPLC column is designed for the separation of novel and legacy PFAS as per recent EPA methods. A specific PFAS delay column prevents background PFAS contamination from interfering with sample results in quantitative LC-MS methods.

  9. 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
  10. 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
