Light Industrial Laundry

A smaller laundry treating 30,000 gallons/day of wastewater was using conventional chemistry with sulfuric acid to drop the pH to 7.5, addition of a coagulant, and a flocculent. The facility has been under pressure from the POTW to reduce the electroconductivity (EC) levels. Past analytical data has shown that the EC levels have averaged 2,100 μohms/cm from the addition of the laundry ...

Solvent choices for infrared testing of oil and grease in water

Water is a very strong absorber in the mi d infrared (I R) regio n where o il is measured. We see the effect of infrared absorbance when a cold bucket of water left in the sun is quite warm by afternoon due to the absorption of infrared energy as heat. When measuring part per million (ppm) oil levels with mid IR, the water absorbs so much of the infrared energy that the signal becomes saturated ...

Analysing coloured smoke | Pearl or Quest?

Coloured smoke consists of an aerosol of tiny particles which is combusted or vaporized. The particular pigment or dye of each colour affects the colour of the smoke. The mixture usually includes a cool-burning formula based on potassium chlorate oxidiser, dextrin or lactose as fuel. Then one or more dyes are introduced to account for around half of the mixture. A small amount of sodium ...
