Wastewater Treatment

Advanced flow measurement products use the latest liquid monitoring protocols and our comprehensive range of solutions are available in various sizes and materials to fit the challenging applications and robust requirements within the modern wastewater treatment industry. Whether used on influent or effluent streams, our electromagnetic and ultrasonic solutions offer enhanced measurements in flow level and volume, ensuring regulatory compliance and providing consistently accurate data to improve operational standards, increase plant functionality, reduce costs and protect the environment.

The main goal of wastewater treatment is the reduction in pollutant levels released into natural waters. Reliable, real-time monitoring of organics on influent and effluent streams is an essential component in wastewater treatment. More frequently, plants are including systems to monitor parameters such as TOC, BOD, COD and TSS. Our range of organics monitoring solutions meet the challenge to provide accurate, drift-free data and stable, reliable operations, ensuring that when water leaves the treatment plant, it meets regulatory standards as it re-enters the water cycle.

Managing and controlling septicity in sewer networks is one of the greatest challenges for the wastewater sector, with high levels creating costly process complications due to toxicity, corrosion and odor nuisance. Data is vital in monitoring septicity levels in sewers. Our unique solution combines liquid and gas phase sensors to provide continuous, accurate and real-time septicity monitoring for sewer networks. This allows data to link directly to the customer's preferred RTU and SCADA systems, providing enhanced monitoring and control capabilities.

Managing the depth of sludge blanket is a critical element in the production of good quality effluent. By measuring sludge as it moves through the treatment plant, operators can ensure it is not carried over to effluent paths, negatively impacting the quality of the water being discharged from the plant. Through enhanced communications and the availability of continuous, real-time data, sludge detection monitors provide enhanced system control, event detection and improved efficiency.

Toxic gases, such as hydrogen sulfide and methane, are often released as a byproduct of wastewater treatment, following the decomposition of organic matter in feeds supplying the plant. Due to their toxicity and unpleasant odor, wastewater treatment facilities are increasingly incorporating measures to monitor and control these gases. Our range of gas detection instrumentation provides high-quality solutions, ensuring adherence to air quality environmental standards and increasing onsite health and safety for plant operators and personnel.

Water quality monitoring is a vital component on wastewater treatment plants, with advanced measurement technologies required to monitor pollutant levels on influent and effluent streams and control and manage chemical addition. Through the reliable monitoring and control of parameters such as pH, turbidity, dissolved oxygen and suspended solids at multiple stages in the treatment cycle, operators can utilize accurate, reliable data to safeguard water quality, improve performance and efficiency, document regulatory compliance and provide early event detection, protecting the environment and the overall health of the ecosystems in the surrounding area.
