Waste Water Monitoring

The main goal of collecting and treating various waste waters is the reduction of the pollutant load released into natural waters. This task has to fulfill various guidelines that are defined in official emission and emission regulations.

Our further goal is to keep the costs associated with waste water collection and treatment as low as possible. Because of the continuous efforts to improve the quality of natural waters and the permanent efforts to optimize the efficiency of waste water treatment, the requirements for process technology and for quality control of emissions are ever increasing.

Therefore, a reliable monitoring station that provides continuous data in real time is an essential component in waste water treatment – both for the dynamic process control as well as for continuous monitoring of the discharged water.

In management of municipal as well as industrial waste waters, SensoTreat monitoring stations have been in use for many years. Their technological and methodological quality standards have set new boundaries in regards to measurement performance and have often opened up completely new opportunities for wastewater treatment.

1. Monitoring of municipal and industrial waste water & sewer monitoring
2. Monitoring of WWTP influent
3. Optimization of aeration
4. Process optimization
5. Monitoring of WWTP effluent

How Hydrologic MGP is solving the water related treatment concerns

Hydrologic MGP Systems offers a broad portfolio tailored specifically to the unique and varied challenges of industrial water treatment. Our measuring technologies enable our customers to improve process safety and efficiency:

1. Membrane filtration
2. Cooling and boiling of water
3. Process water treatment for specific requirements

Membrane filtration

A unique technology for water treatment, membrane filtration can be applied to achieve different targets, with varying pore sizes enabling the mechanical separation of bacteria or viruses up to single ions for desalination. Membrane filtration efficiency and lifespan depends upon regular monitoring of multiple water parameters.

Cooling and boiling water

Corrosion, fouling, and scaling hamper the effectiveness of cooling and boiling processes and can cause severe health problems. Filtration of cooling water, and dosing with biocides to prevent the growth of algae, fungi, and bacteria, are standard practices. Effectiveness of these processes depends upon reliable, ongoing monitoring of water parameters such as pH and oxygen levels.

Process water treatment

Process water used directly in end products must consistently conform to specific characteristics for ongoing product quality. Parameters such as pH, turbidity and oxygen levels must be guaranteed through filtration and the addition of precise doses of chemical agents.

Our remote water monitoring system allows stakeholders to have thorough insights about the nature of water, stage of purification, pressure and temperature management from a remote location.

Our smart water treatment solution offers other benefits to the treatment plant such as;

1. Custom apps as per the need of business
2. Perform complex calculations easily
3. Collect data from multiple points
4. Allows reactive and predictive maintenance for the treatment plant
5. Generate actionable insights

Value proportion of smart water treatment in the water treatment industry

Smart water treatment holds a potential market value of at-least US$ 14.4 trillion for companies and industries globally. This figure represents the potential economic and social benefit arising from new connected applications and new service-orientated business models.

IoT services integrated with the smart water treatment solution and video cameras help to monitor the treatment plant in order to ensure equipment safety and protect against physical threats. The IoT connectivity allows multiple teams to coordinate with each other and resolve issues promptly.

The IoT enabled smart water treatment solution can help treatment plants maintain the consistency and purity of the water, cut costs and increase the efficiency of the plant.
