Drinking Water Measurement 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. Colorimetric vs Amperometric Technologies 3/9/2026

   Choose the right chlorine monitoring approach by weighing the continuous, reagent-free speed of amperometric sensing against the superior, stable accuracy of batch-based colorimetric analysis, ensuring long-term reliability based on specific site and process requirements.

3. The Importance Of Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) In The Water Analysis Sector 3/6/2026

   A high standard of living involves a high demand for water and, at the same time, causes much greater pollution of this essential element for life. The resultant interference in the natural cycle can often overwhelm natural processes of recovery, so that there is a build-up of anthropogenous additives such as pesticides, effluents and garbage, which contaminate drinking water supplies.

4. Flow Monitoring At Sea Water Reverse Osmosis Plant Improves Water Distribution 1/6/2025

   Read about a desalination plant that was in need of a practical verification methodology for permanent and/or temporary (portable) solutions on large pipes.

5. Complete Flow Solutions 11/11/2024

   Siemens’ extensive portfolio includes various flow measurement technologies, such as Coriolis, clamp-on ultrasonic, vortex, and differential pressure meters, catering to a wide range of industrial needs.

6. 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.

7. Leak Detection On Water Distribution Network Using Clamp-On Flowmeters 5/22/2023

   A global engineering company realized that their leak identification methods were time consuming and expensive, and so began to explore alternative solutions, such as ultrasonic flow meters. 

8. Drinking Water Testing By Ion Chromatography Using Ultrapure Water 9/29/2022

   This application note demonstrates the suitability of ultrapure water produced by a Milli-Q IQ  7000 water purification system for the IC analyses of inorganic ions and DBPs in drinking water.

9. Dosing Of Sodium Hypochlorite Solution For Drinking Water Disinfection 9/22/2022

   A water purveyor was in urgent need of a chemically resistant flow instrumentation with a long life of service that allowed reliable and long-term stable dosing of the sodium hypochlorite solution.

10. 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.
