Wastewater Application Notes

  1. Ultrasonic Level Measurement In Water And Wastewater Plants 5/19/2016

    Radar technology is often viewed as the “best” method of level measurement, but this isn’t necessarily true in the water industry.

  2. Optimizing Air Flows To Aeration Basins 4/17/2014

    As a result of clean energy mandates and the rising cost of energy, wastewater treatment facilities around the country are retrofitting their instrumentation to run highly efficient, cost-effective, clean facilities. To reduce emissions and produce clean energy, solid wastes are often digested in large digester tanks to reduce the volume of waste (sludge) and produce more biogas, which is then used as fuel in the cogeneration process. However, a clean environment calls for not just clean air and clean energy, but clean water as well.

  3. Monitoring IWW Effluents With FP 360 sc Oil-In-Water Sensor 5/14/2024

    This application note explores a test which demonstrated significant improvements in Oil-in-Water monitoring of industrial wastewater in comparison to the weekly grab sample analysis method.

  4. Primary Wastewater Treatment: Influent Monitoring 11/10/2013

    The raw sewage entering a wastewater treatment plant comes from a variety of sources. In addition to effluent from domestic users, effluent from industrial users and storm water run off can be present.

  5. Analyzing Total Organic Carbon In Sea Water 4/2/2015

    The analysis of Total Organic Carbon (TOC) in seawater can be both challenging and expensive. The concentration of organic carbon in seawater is of considerable interest. The effect this matrix can have on TOC analyzers can lead to rapid consumable turnover, costly maintenance and repairs.

  6. Waste Technologies Transform Problems To Profit 9/8/2015

    Anaerobic digestion processes that radically improve the quality of wastewater while delivering green energy extracted from biological waste streams are emerging as a profitable way for agricultural and food processing industries cope with the twin impact of drought and pollution challenges.

  7. Is ORP Really Your Best Option For Dechlorination Measurement? 7/8/2024

    In this application note, explore considerations for achieving more reliable accuracy when quantifying dechlorination results for applications ranging from RO membrane protection to wastewater discharge compliance.

  8. Determination Of Hexanal In Foods Utilizing Dynamic Headspace 4/9/2015

    Hexanal is one of many well-documented aromatic components that contribute to flavor and aroma in common consumer food products containing omega-6 fatty acids. Hexanal content is also used to measure the oxidative status of foods rich in omega-6 fatty acids.

  9. Instruments For Environmental Applications 10/29/2021

    Keeping the water in our lakes, rivers, and streams clean requires monitoring of water quality at many points. Over the years ever increasing environmental concerns and regulations have heightened the need for increased diligence and tighter restrictions on wastewater quality.

  10. Oxygen Content In Wastewater Digester Gas 12/13/2021

    In wastewater treatment, aerobic digestion enables plants to increase their capacity by injecting oxygen into the wastewater head space.
