Drinking Water Application Notes

  1. 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.

  2. Bottled Water Industry: Liquid Analytical Solutions 11/10/2013

    Americans consume more than 9.1 billion gallons of bottled water annually - an average of twenty nine gallons per person every year. 

  3. Phosphate In Groundwater And Surface Water: A Rapid And Reliable Determination Method Using The Photometric Spectroquant® Test 1/31/2019

    Phosphorus is an essential element for organisms and plants. In natural, uncontaminated waters, it occurs as organically bound phosphate, condensed phosphates or as orthophosphate — often referred to by its chemical formula PO4-P. The small quantity of phosphorus present in natural waters does not promote the growth of plants. However, a rise in the concentration of phosphorus results in the proliferation of algae, which leads to the eutrophication of the water body.

  4. Lab Gas Sub-Metering Accuracy Improves With Thermal Flow Meters To Save Money 12/1/2017

    Facility administrators will find the advanced ST100 Series Thermal Mass Air/Gas Flow Meter from Fluid Components International (FCI) helps them improve the accuracy of specialty gas point of use and sub-metering operations to achieve accurate billing in their labs for better cost tracking and control.

  5. Temperature Monitoring For Water Treatment 4/29/2024

    Learn how to ensure compliance, monitor water temperature diligently, and implement robust measures to mitigate regulatory penalties.

  6. LC-MS Analysis Of PFAS Compounds In EPA 533 After Supelclean™ ENVI-WAX SPE Cleanup 8/29/2022

    This application note demonstrates the extraction and subsequent analysis of 25 related analytes from water using Supelco SPE cartridges.

  7. 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.

  8. Reducing And Reusing Water In Steel Manufacturing 2/28/2022

    The art of manufacturing steel for industries is well over 100 years old. Within this time, the steel business has fulfilled consumer needs, including construction, transportation, and manufacturing. The steel manufacturing process is quite intensive as it requires a lot of water to cool down the application. Steel plants constantly look for strategies that can help sustain the steel for a longer time by efficiently improving water and energy consumption.

  9. LC-MS Analysis Of 33 PFAS Compounds In 5 Minutes 11/4/2021

    In response to environmental testing demands for faster LC-MS analyses, the new Ascentis® Express PFAS HPLC and delay columns allow the highly efficient separation of 33 PFAS compounds in 5 minutes with reduced background contamination.

  10. HOD™ (Hydro-Optic Disinfection) UV Water Treatment For Bottled Water 3/27/2025

    The HOD™ (Hydro-Optic Disinfection) UV water treatment system by Atlantium Technologies represents a groundbreaking advancement in drinking water disinfection, particularly for the bottled water industry.
