24 Water / Wastewater Monitoring Software Now Powered by Linux Operating System
Speed is the winning advantage of the new moni::tool software release, which is now based on the Linux operating system. moni::tool, from s::can (Austria) is the software platform for the con::cube termi nal and manages an almost unlimited number of stations, online probes, analysers and parameters. The user interface is designed for very intuitive operation and with the new Linux operating system, the performance of the software is better than ever before. The fast response times and advanced service functions for on-site support and online updates will convince the user.
The new operating system is adding the strengths of an open source solution to moni::tool. This is for example the high acceptance and interoperability with standard technologies in the market or the ro bustness and customisation possibilities, which a proprietary operating system does not always offer.
moni::tool - the software package for the con::cube terminal – consists of 3 modules: Sensor and station management (from user login to maintenance and logbook keeping), Data validation (ensure only high quality data is fed into the event detection module), and Event detection (morphs your water quality monitoring station into a fail-safe EDS-system).
It is constantly updated with new features, based on feedback from the field. Recent updates include for example an “intensive mode”: measuring and cleaning intervals can automatically be adjusted based on pre-defined conditions - this is especially useful in situations like sudden contaminations, floodings or sewer overflow. For more information, please visit the s::can website or download the moni::app at Google Playstore to directly display your water quality data on your smartphone.

39520pr@reply-direct.com Leak Detecting System is Dam Good Idea
A mining service exploration company looking for new revenue streams to help it survive an industry downturn in Australia has developed a device for detecting leaks in holding ponds.
South Australian company Zonge Engineering created Liquid Integrity Systems after it was asked by a coal seam gas supplier in Queensland to develop something to help it meet its EPA guidelines.
Its wireless solar-powered electronic leak detection system features electrodes that sit on or below the pond liner. An electrical current runs through the electrodes once a day to detect leaks.
Changes in the current are mapped to pinpoint leaks, which can be detected down to breaches as small as one millimetre.

The stand alone cyclone-proof control box on the side of the pond sends the daily results remotely to a smart phone, tablet or a computer. The device also measures pond telemetry including temperature, depth and salinity. Systems can be installed at the time of pond construction or retrofitted to an existing pond.
“Most current systems don’t have anything like that, they have bores around the edges that might be checked every so often,” Zonge Engineering Managing Director Kelly Keates said.
“But the issue with that is it’s not giving immediate results and also not finding out what potentially is leaking straight down. “Our system will reduce potential pollution to the surrounding environment with instant detection so pond owners can act immediately.

“Our vision is to change the reliability and community trust of liquid waste facilities and create a new way to improve environmental compliance and best practice for the future.”
Preventing liquid wastes contaminated during the mining process from polluting the surrounding area are among the greatest environmental concerns facing the mining industry. Adelaide-based Liquid Integrity Systems has so far installed four systems in coal seam gas ponds in Queensland but is also building demonstration models for use in gold and copper mines in Western Australia.

Keates said while it had so far been targeted at the mining industry, the device could also be used for holding ponds in the wastewater, agriculture and wine industries. She said typical ponds ranged in surface area from about 15,000sq m to 120,000sq m.
“It’s a unique system that can help protect the environment and is more cost effective than the current systems,” Keates said.
“The cost on a big pond is about $2.50 a square metre whereas a double-lined system is about $20 a square metre so it’s much more cost effective.”
The emergence of Liquid Integrity Systems comes at a time when the Australian mining industry is in the midst of a downturn thanks to a fall in global commodity prices and the rising value of the Aussie dollar.
“We’ve had an incredible downturn in exploration,” Keates said.
“There’s a lot of interest in the device but not a lot of purchase orders at this stage – everybody says it’s a great product so we’re just waiting for the mining downturn to turnaround.”
Keates said the device was the first of its kind in Australia and had the potential to be a global product.
“Our issue is trying to get others to realize the value of the product - we’ve got a couple of clients interested in us doing demos so that’s the way we think it is initially going to work for us,” she said.
“People also seem to be interested in rental systems where they put the system in and do testing for a couple of weeks then fix any leaks and come back a year later and test again.
“It just depends on how much the pond is used and how toxic the liquid is that is in the pond.”
South Australia is a globally important producer of copper, uranium and zircon, and is stepping up production of iron ore and graphite. The state also produces zinc, lead, silver, industrial minerals such as salt, silica sand and gypsum and extractive materials including dimension stone and opal.
