KEY PARAMETERS FOR INFLUENT WATER TREATMENTChlorineExcessivechlorineharmsmembrane-basedfiltrationsystemsand alters taste. Too little chlorine creates an opportunity for microbiological growth. Close monitoring of chlorine levels preservesfiltrationmembranesandpreventstheformationofharmfulbacteria.Manydisinfectionprogramsemployachlorine,chlorinedioxideorozonestrategytopreventmicrobiologicalgrowth. Whether raw water, process water, rinse water, or effluent water, constant monitoring of disinfection parameters helps ensure that processes meet product safety, consistency and environmental regulations.

Conductivity/Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)Conductivity or TDS, the most widely used control parameter forCIPapplications,measurescausticoracidicsolutionstrength. Conductivity also monitors process completion to identify product variation and control chemical additives. Inductive conductivity, sometimes referred to as electrodeless or toroidal, remains the industry’s primary choice due to sanitary 3Adesignstandards.Conductivityalsodeterminesfiltrationmedia efficiency by gauging the dissolved, ionic constituents beforeandafterthefiltrationprocess.

TurbidityDepending on the water source, turbidity varies dramatically. Often,filtrationsystemsremoveexcessturbidityandotherminerals. While conductivity also monitors dissolved solids, on-line turbidity measurement is the preferred method to monitorfiltrationefficiencyandcontrolbackwashingcyclefrequency.

KEY PARAMETERS FOR EFFLUENT & WASTEWATER TREATMENTpHThe continuous monitoring of pH plays an important role in alerting a facility of necessary process adjustments well in advance of a violation. Additionally, pH monitoring at various stages within the wastewater treatment process is critical for maintainingbugs’health,optimizingchemicalusage,andpreventing corrosion to control costs.

Dissolved Oxygen (DO)The aeration and activated sludge processes require a steady supply of oxygen to function effectively. Insufficient oxygen results in process inefficiency, producing foul-smelling intermediate products and incomplete reactions. Too much oxygen results in excessive energy loss. Since aeration and activated sludge processes constitute up to 70% of a wastewater plant’s energy costs, precise monitoring and control of oxygen allows effective and efficient functionality.

Turbidity and Total Suspended Solids (TSS)Turbidity and TSS measurements are commonly used for wastewater discharge reporting. They also control dissolved airflotationsystems,dewateringequipment,andclarifierinfluent. When applied to polymer feed systems, the additional controloftenresultsinsignificantpolymersavings.On-linemonitoring and regular sampling protocols reduce the potential of putting excessive solids into the wastewater stream and help preventpermitviolationsandassociatedfines.

Nitrogen RemovalNitrogen enters wastewater treatment plants as Ammonia and istypicallyremovedbiologically.Usingaeration,thenitrificationstageutilizesaerobicbacteriatoturnAmmoniaintoNitriteandthen Nitrate. Nitrogen removal happens as bacteria consume theOxygenfromNitrateturningitintoNitrogengasthatescapes into the atmosphere. Aeration can account for 70% of operating costs because most wastewater treatment plants run their blowers full speed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in ordertomeetpermitlimits.UsingReal-Timecontrolsolutionsto adjust blowers based on Nitrite and Nitrate levels can significantlyreduceenergycosts.

Phosphorus RemovalPhosphorusdoesnothaveagaseousform,soitmustbeconverted from soluble form to particulate form for removal. Chemical phosphorus removal uses iron or aluminum compounds to combine with and precipitate out phosphate. Overtreatingwaterwiththesechemicals,whileaneffectivemethod for ensuring permit compliance, will results in wasted chemical spend and increased sludge production. This parameter is easily controlled in real-time, meaning that chemical dosing is based on the volume of phosphorus present and not a single set point.

Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF)In food processing plants, a DAF is often used to reduce loadings and clarify wastewater. Tiny air bubbles are released into the tank causing small particulates to float to the top where they are skimmed off. To remove larger suspended solids, coagulant is dosed into the feed water—this helps to speed up clumping and settling.

Typically, chemical is dosed to the DAF based on flow rate, but dosing based on flow ignores the solids concentration. This leads to under- and over-dosing which could waste chemicals, increasehaulingcosts,andresultinfines.Real-timedatahelps facilities dose coagulant based on solids concentrations, eliminating over treating and reducing total costs.

OrganicsIn wastewater with high organic loads, a facility uses chemical treatment and physical processing to reduce load levels to those acceptable for either re-use or discharge into the environment.EfficientmanagementoforganicstypicallyinvolvesBiologicalOxygenDemand(BOD)forreportingpurposes. However, since the test takes 5 days, surrogates such asChemicalOxygenDemand(COD),TotalOrganicCarbons(TOC),andSpectralAbsorptionCoefficient(SAC)maybeused.These offer quicker test results and early detection of upsets orspillsforreducedoperationalandmaintenancecosts.COD,a relatively simple lab procedure, reduces testing time to 2 hours.On-lineTOCmonitoringprovidesresultsevery7minutesandon-lineUV254(SAC)monitorscontinuouslyforreal-timecontrol.
