On-Site Measurement of Fats, Oils and Greases in Wastewater in Under 10 Minutes
InfraCal TOG/TPH Analysers from Wilks Enterprise (USA) provide accurate, easy on-site analysis to assist regulators, as well as industry, to reduce the build up of fats, oils, and greases (FOG) in sewers. These analysers are ideal for use by publicly operated treatment centres as it is important to locate and monitor sites that are suspected of dumping high levels of FOG into the sewer line. In addition, numerous industries need to ensure they are not exceeding their oil/grease discharge permit limits. Waiting for remote laboratory results can take several days to a week. With a simplified FOG analysis procedure using a portable mid-IR InfraCal TOG/TPH Analyser, regulators or industrial pretreatment operators can now get on- site results in less than 10 minutes. The extraction and measurement procedure is simple enough for an operator with minimal training to do the analysis.
This type of measurement is not new as infrared measurement of oil and grease levels in produced water has been used in the petroleum industry on highly regulated off-shore and on-shore oil platforms for well over 30 years. The InfraCal TOG/TPH Analysers are used worldwide for this particular type of measurement.
InfraCal TOG/TPH Analysers, with a simple and quick measurement procedure, enable operators of a pre-treatment system to easily assess their system's efficiency. Plant operators can take samples before and after treatment to see how their system functions under heavy loads. System parameters can be changed if necessary and the results of the changes can be determined onsite without waiting a week or more for a laboratory result. Regulators can take samples from the source and immediately determine who is discharging high FOG concentration levels. Most importantly, effluent with high levels of FOG can be stopped before it stops the flow of the sewer line.

Optex (Japan) provide various sensors for Water Quality Monitoring that contribute to environmental protection which are easy to use at a low cost. Optex’s main products are the TC Series of suspended Solids Meters and Turbidimeters. The TC Series has 4 measurement ranges, 0-100, 0-500, 0-3000 FTU and 0-500 mg/l. The TS-200 allows 24 hour automatic suspended solids monitoring and has three main features which include, built-in wiper to keep lenses clean and practically maintenance free, scratch-proof sapphire windows as well as light gathering technology with specially designed lenses to enlarge the image of the water in 3 dimensions to enable accurate measurement. The Transmitter, SC-T3 and SC-T4 can indicate 4-20mA signal output, alarm relay output and self checking relay output. Calibration of the TS-200 can be performed out of water.
NEW pH Catalogue From Reader Reply Card no 68 PepsiCo Uses Ion Chromatography Instruments
for the Analysis of Contaminants in Water Dionex (USA) is pleased to announce that PepsiCo International in Cork, Ireland uses the Dionex ion chromatography (IC) systems to test their bottled water and the treated and raw water used in their beverages for contaminants like bromate and oxyhalides as well as common anions and cations. Contaminants in drinking water, whether they are environmental or produced by the process of disinfection, impact the quality of the water, a major concern for the beverage industry. PepsiCo’s use of Dionex Reagent-Free™ IC systems brings many benefits like ease of use, no eluent preparation (Just Add Water!), no reagent preparation, waste reduction, reproducibility, and low detection limits.

Because the system is always on and always ready, analysis time is reduced for Pepsi. Another big benefit for Pepsi is having readily available EPA methods for the analysis of contaminants and ions. In most countries, drinking water must be disinfected, to remove microorganisms and ensure it is safe to drink.
However, reactions between disinfectants and organic matter in water can produce disinfection by-products (DBPs), such as bromate, oxyhalides, and haloacetic acids that are dangerous even at trace concentrations. Trace analysis of DBPs and contaminants can be difficult because of the high levels of matrix ions that are often found in water. Dionex provides a variety of system and application solutions to improve and simplify trace determination of contaminants in water.

01 noise logger is designed for fixed deployment for water leak detection purposes. The heart of each and every logger is a newly developed, highly sensitive micro-phone for recording leak noises. Its specifications are such as to permit large distances – even in the case of non-metallic piping - between the measurement points. Thanks to its novel housing geometry, the logger can be installed either horizontally or vertically. Whether underground fire hydrant or gate valves at varying installation depths - SePem®
The SePem®
link with automatic error correction exchanges data between logger SePem® communicator SePem®
and receives all the data without any being lost. State-of-the-art technology is inside the lightweight and handy casing of the SePem®
01 - Master communicator. The user soon learns to appreciate the perfected menu control. Even though no separate software is needed, numerous functions are on hand for programming the loggers and presenting the readings. Thanks to the easy, intuitive operation of the SePem®
01 - Master, users with only a smattering of PC
knowledge very quickly obtain precision findings. Summarising: the logger and communicator combination features precise measurements thanks to the highly- sensitive microphone together with powerful radio data transmission and evaluation of readings directly on the spot.
01 fits in everywhere! A digital high-performance wireless 01 and
01- Master. The control vehicle crosses the measurement point
The new noise logger as an innovative extension to the SePem® range of products. The new generation of SEWERIN 01 and communication appliance
01-Master is one backed up with convincing arguments.
