How One Plant Found Great Service Through Turbidity Analyzers
10/3/2016
The nearly 16,000 people in Calhoun, GA, rely on two drinking water treatment facilities — one that pulls its water from a river and another that pulls from groundwater — that process about 9 MGD. The turbidity of the river’s water can fluctuate dramatically, so the operators rely on the surface water treatment plant’s turbidity analyzers to ensure that they are serving the population as they should.

Utah Water District Saves Time And Resources, Improves Accuracy By Upgrading Sensors And Analyzers
7/20/2015
Monitoring chlorine and fluoride levels in the drinking water of Utah’s Taylorsville-Bennion Improvement District used to be expensive, labor intensive, and often sensitive to interference from the variable frequency drives used to operate the chlorine injection pumps. That is, until the district upgraded to Rosemount free chlorine and fluoride sensors and analyzers from Emerson.

Application Note: Turbidity Monitoring In Drinking Water Treatment Plants
8/30/2005
Turbidity, or the relative clarity of a liquid (in this case drinking water), is caused by the presence of microscopic particles such as clay, silt, or other fine undissolved matter

A Rosemount Chlorine Analyzer Proves Just The Job For Seawater Duty At Dow's Terneuzen Site
4/19/2010
The Dow Benelux site in Terneuzen, the Netherlands, uses seawater for process cooling. Environmental regulations require careful control of the concentration of chlorine added to control microbial fouling. The existing chlorine measurement system had become outdated, so after stringent tests Dow decided to replace it with a Rosemount Model TCL analyzer from Emerson Process Management.

Chlorine Measurement In Wastewater And Regulated Discharge Requirements
8/8/2014
Homes, industry, schools, and businesses all generate sanitary waste, or sewage. Sewage treatment is a multistage process that cleans up wastewater before discharge or reuse. In the final step of the treatment, disinfectants are added to kill disease-causing organisms. Common disinfectants are chlorine gas and sodium hypochlorite. Chlorine dosage levels are designed to leave almost no residual in the wastewater after treatment

Application Note: Chlorine Measurement By Amperometric Sensor
6/2/2009
Chlorine in aqueous solutions is used for a number of purposes such as disinfection, taste and odor control, bleaching, and as a powerful oxidizing agent in various manufacturing processes. Chlorine is a costly chemical and requires large amounts of energy to produce. About 3000 KWH are required to produce a ton of chlorine from brine, and the delivered cost ranges from $160 to $300 per ton. As energy becomes more expensive, so inevitably will chlorine. By Emerson Process Management, Rosemount Analytical Liquid
