Water/Wastewater 45 New Clean, Streamlined New Website
Palintest Ltd. (UK) has launched its new website, making it easier than ever to access detailed information on its range of market-leading analysis technology. Localised versions for the UK, USA, China, Australia and Asia Pacific regions are now fully live and ready for visitors, with French, Spanish and German language sites online soon. The new, fresh design can be seen at
www.palintest.com. The new site offers news and instruction manuals, MSDS downloads, as well as technical product, reagent and ordering information that will be continually updated. Customers can now also sign up to a newsletter to be automatically informed of the latest developments at Palintest. From the homepage, choosing a different testing situation (e.g. Waste-water, Pool & Spa, Industrial) will take users directly to a list of products applicable for that sector. For users who know exactly what they need already, a quick-find drop-down menu takes them straight there. Each product has its own web page, with a brief description and assorted further information. Product codes for quick ordering are listed, along with related reagents, technical datasheets and even instruction manuals available for download.

Disaster Relief Water Quality Testing
Revolutionary Range of PeCOD™ COD Analysers Launched
Aqua Diagnostic (Australia) have invented a revolutionary green technology COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) analyser capable of real-time accurate and sensitive (sub-ppm) COD analysis. The PeCOD™ technology represents a major step forward in COD analysis, on multiple levels. GREEN; no hazardous or toxic chemicals are required, only an electrolyte solution, unlike the standard dichromate method. FAST; analysis times can be determined in minutes not hours, thus providing the economic benefit of real-time process control and environmental monitoring. VERSATILE; a broad spectrum of matrix streams including seawater can be easily analysed. SENSITIVE analysis to sub- ppm levels. ACCURATE analysis of a wide range of organic species including many traditionally ‘recalcitrant’ species such as primary alcohols and carboxy acids which are frequently underestimated by traditional COD analysis techniques. BOD can be directly correlated to the PeCOD™ COD results.
PeCOD™ COD analysers are available in three different models purpose designed for Laboratory use, Field Portable analysis, and
Online COD monitoring. All systems incorporate the same core COD analysis module to ensure identical performance between models. The simplicity and speed of the technique is what allows it to be fully automated in a self-contained online system. The system comes pre- configured in a single weatherproof stainless steel enclosure that houses the sampling, analysis, and telemetry modules, as well as electrolyte solution reservoirs. It can be configured to monitor multiple sample streams.
This has significant benefits to any industry involved in WASTEWATER TREATMENT, or using COOLANT WATER or WATER FEEDSTOCK to a manufacturing process. In wastewater treatment plants the secondary influent can be monitored in real-time, providing the plant with early warning of any changes in COD, and through PLC control increase aeration to deal with this. This saves on energy (most plants run at higher aeration levels than they need ‘just in case’) and avoids costly process excursions.
In BNR plants (biological nutrient removal) methanol or acetic acid is used as a food source for the biological process. Measuring the COD of the influent allows more accurate dosing of the food source, increases the efficiency of the process and reduces expensive over-dosing. Because the PeCOD™ technique is both fast and accurate, it can be used to do an immediate COD measurement on waste that is brought in by road tankers. This ensures that the client is being charged appropriately, as well as avoiding treatment plant issues from unexpected high COD loads.
For industries using SEAWATER in cooling towers, the PeCOD™ technique is the first to be able to directly and accurately monitor the coolant stream despite the high chloride concentration up to 35,000 mg/L. Outflow can be monitored to ensure compliance with environmental requirements, and also warn of product loss into the coolant stream (e.g. sugar refineries). The PeCOD™ technology is
When a tsunami struck the nations that surround the Indian Ocean and up-rooted the lives of millions of people, the rest of the world helplessly watched. As survivors struggled to recover, volun- teers stepped forward to lend a hand. Dr. Roddy Tempest and his colleagues at AmeriCares joined those efforts, and they gave us the opportunity to contribute in some small way, as well. Myron L Company (USA) was able to donate two Ultrameter II™ 6Ps and a uDock™ accessory package to Dr. Tempest to measure and monitor the basic parameters that indicate and affect water quality, the basis of life.
As a thank you, Dr. Tempest sent us these pictures of our instruments as they were used in his work in Sri Lanka. Thank you, Dr. Tempest and AmeriCares, for your dedication to humanitarian relief and disaster response efforts. We pledge our ongoing support for those who strive to improve the quality of water and of life for all humanity.

based on a patented photoelectrochemical process. The core of the technology is the ability of the UV activated TiO2 (titanium dioxide) nano-particulate photocatalyst to create a high oxidation potential. This ensures complete oxidation of all oxidisable organic species. The direct capture and measurement of the resultant photocurrent means that a direct measurement of the oxidation is being made.
