Online Monitor for Low-level THM Detection in Treated Wastewater
The City of Paso Robles, California used a new online THM monitor capable of low-level real-time detection of DBCM and BDCM to help characterize and monitor THMs their treated wastewater for ground water recharge use. The high frequency of reliable and accurate THM data provided by the online instrument proved essential to the City’s DBP strategy to obtain regulatory compliance with NPDES permit levels.
Rick Bacon, CEO of Aqua Metrology Systems, explains why online instrumentation is the future with Water Online Radio. Quarterly readings from a lab don’t give a real indication of what’s going on in a water system. Only online monitors can deliver high frequency reliable and accurate water quality data generated in real-time.
Veolia & AMS Instrumentation Validated by Battelle
In 2014 the Air Force was concerned about possible Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) violations pertaining to total coliform and disinfection by-products at a number of their facilities. On behalf of the Air Force Civil Engineer Center (AFCEC) Battelle conducted a demonstration and validation of real time water quality monitoring technologies manufactured by Veolia and Aqua Metrology Systems to develop a comprehensive water monitoring approach to proactively address concerns pertaining to potential SDWA violations. Battelle operated the technologies from May 2015 through August 2016, the instruments proved successful and could be transitioned to broader Air Force use. An overview of the demonstration and validation project has been compiled into a presentation.
For more than five years Scottish Water has relied on the reliability and accuracy of the online THM-100™ monitor to continuously monitor THM levels at a number of their facilities. The online THM monitors have allowed Scottish Water to consistently monitor, maintain, optimize and respond to any on-going THM concerns in a very timely fashion. The THM-100 proved especially valuable at the Tullich WTWs when the facility tested and implemented an aeration system to further minimize THM formation.
Aigües de Barcelona, the leading water utility in Spain, has received accreditation to the ISO/IEC 17025:2005 Standard for the use of Aqua Metrology Systems’ online THM-100™ analyzer to continuously monitor trihalomethanes (THMs) in their dinking water supply network servicing 3,000,000 million inhabitants across metropolitan Barcelona. In addition to providing the utility with contract compliance and process optimization data, THM readings can now be used to submit regulatory compliance data.
Rick Bacon, CEO Aqua Metrology Systems, shares his insights into the online instrumentation market with the Editor of WaterWorld Magazine. A new online analyzer for measuring THM Formation Potential is also discussed in the interview along with Aqua Metrology Systems’ unique 5 year warranty offered on all THM and trace metal analyzer products.
The City of Santa Cruz Water Department (SCWD) has adopted the online THM-100™ THM analyzer for DBP management. Real-time and reliable data on THM and THM Formation Potential levels within the Graham Hill Water Treatment Plant and distribution network have been provided to the SCWD by the online analyzer. The THM-100 online analyzer has aided the SCWD in daily operations and management of feasibility studies to reduce distribution systems THM levels.
The Shades Mountain Filter Plant operated by the Birmingham Water Works Board (BWWB) has benefited from the real time high frequency data on daily THM values provided by the THM-100™ online analyzer. The online analyzer has proven valuable to THM mitigation strategy and optimization.
Advanced Water Demonstration Project Incorporates THM-100™
Padre Dam Municipal Water District in Santee, California has installed the THM-100™ online THM monitor from Aqua Metrology Systems to provide real-time data on DBP formation, aid the utility in evaluating their innovative free chlorine disinfection strategy, and ensure the safety of potable reuse water being used produced at their Advanced Water Purification Demonstration Project.
