The robust, compact and durable units have been rigorously tested across various process locations including post-screened crude sewage, settled sewage and secondary treatment, to ensure the measurement does not drift under the most challenging process conditions.
The package enables clients to see live liquor concentrations at key points in the process, as well as providing the capability to integrate other data sets already measured by the client such as flow, compliance monitoring determinants and site power consumption. The Optimiser unit has been developed to enable rapid swap out of sensors, with the standard offering consisting of: COD, Ammonium, Turbidity, Nitrate, Redox, pH and temperature. This suite allows the system to inform the process operator on the sites operating envelope and potential stress points.
The data is live and continuous which enables the system to detect events which a standard composite sampling system may miss, leading to an incomplete picture of site loading and process performance.
The data gives the potential to identify and evaluate:
- the impact of septic conditions (both imported and internally generated)
- catchment infiltration
- periodicity of loads entering the works and perform temperature profiling across the process stream
The Optimiser adds significant value over a conventional sampling programme, as the service offering will facilitate an increased visibility of process issues, performance, biological loading rates, as well as leverage optimisation opportunities, all at a lower cost than the conventional sampling programme.
