Wastewater Application Notes

  1. Scrubber Application 1/27/2022

    This customer supplies district heating and electricity for the region of Sønderborg. For one of their waste applications a MAG meter failed within 6 months, and was successfully replaced with a Panametrics Aquatrans AT600.

  2. Environmental Applications Of The Agilent 1290 Infinity UHPLC: The Evolution Of Chromatography 2/6/2011
    This application note presents examples of the use of UHPLC (ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography) for environmental applications using the new Agilent 1290 Infinity LC. By E. Michael Thurman and Imma Ferrer Center for Environmental Mass Spectrometry Department of Environmental Engineering University of Colorado Boulder, CO, USA
  3. Understanding The Different Phosphorus Tests 3/30/2026

    In wastewater treatment, phosphorus testing can quickly become confusing. For example, there are three different tests. So, which test was performed? Test results can be displayed in two different forms. So, which form was utilized? Tests can measure both particulate and dissolved phosphorus. So, was the sample filtered?

  4. Determination Of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons In Seafood 4/20/2015

    Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a large group of organic compounds found naturally in the environment. PAHs are monitored by the US Environmental Protection Agency due to their carcinogenic characteristics.

  5. Achieving A Delicate Balance To Maintain RO Membranes 7/8/2024

    This application note explores the importance of maintaining a delicate balance in reverse osmosis systems to protect RO membranes.

  6. Vacuum Sewer Truck: Optimize Cleaning Performance With The Right Accessories 1/31/2022

    Selecting the correct accessories will maximize cleaning while minimizing water use, tank refills, labor, and headaches.

  7. 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.

  8. Comparison Of Ultra Low Range Total Chlorine Residual Limits Of Detection And Quantitation Across The Water Industry 7/8/2024

    Limits of Detection and Quantitation are key to understanding analytical instrumentation capabilities, especially when non-optimal process control can lead to damage of sensitive equipment due to insufficiently accurate readings.

  9. Determination Of Polar Pesticide Residues In Food Of Plant Origin, By And Automate QuPPe Solution 9/29/2014

    The QuEChERS (Quick-Easy-Cheap-Effective-Rugged-Safe) sample extraction method was developed for the determination of pesticide residues in agricultural commodities.

  10. 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.
