Measurement to Maximize Production
Applications
- Wastewater
- Neutralization
- Production
- Steam, Power & Cooling
- Water Conditioning
Wastewater analytics represent the final opportunity
for process safety in manufacturing, and are therefore
critical in maintaining regulatory compliance. Process
and laboratory solutions enable producers to:
• Monitor and optimize treatment process
performance, including biological wastewater
treatment
• Ensure dispatch is in compliance with legal limit
values
Parameters Relevant to
Wastewater:
Conductivity
Flow
Nutrients
Oxygen
pH value
Sludge level
Total Organic Carbon (TOC)
Turbidity and Total Suspended Solids (TSS)
Water quality sampling during neutralization
provides key indicators to help manufacturers:
• Maintain regulatory compliance
• Monitor treatment process performance
• Ensure compliance with legal limit values
Parameters Relevant to
Neutralization:
pH value
Conductivity
Redox potential
Measurement during the production process is an
essential part of quality control, and ensures that your
finished products comply to specifications and meet
shelf life requirements.
Parameters Relevant to
Production:
Acid capacity / base capacity
Chloride
Color number of liquids (e.g. oil)
Cyanide
Enzymatic analysis (e.g. glucose, fructose)
Metals (e.g. copper, lead, nickel)
Moisture (Karl Fischer titration)
Nitrate, Nitrite, Total Nitrogen
Organic acids
Particles
pH value
Phenol
Surfactants
Turbidity and Total Suspended Solids (TSS)
Maximize plant life and efficiency by monitoring the
steam generation, power production and cooling
parameters that facilitate real-time management of:
• Corrosion-reduction methods such as oxygen
scavenger dosing and phosphate addition
• Efficiency loss in ion exchangers or membrane
systems used for pre-treatment

Real-time analysis of parameters during raw water
intake and conditioning provides critical advantages
including:
• Process efficiency over biocide dosing and cost
• Early determination of changes to incoming water
quality
• Awareness of production performance and plant
efficiency including pre-treatment costs, in-plant
scale, corrosion, and non-ionic inorganic deposits
• Quality control of filtration effectiveness and
microbiological quality
Parameters Relevant to
Water Conditioning:
Free chlorine, total chlorine
