Turbidity Measurement - Not Only Nephelometric At 90°
This article was featured in Lab Asia - July/August 2008 Turbidity can be described only with limitations as a physical and technical measurement category. The unusual nature of the turbidity measurement in comparison to other parameters can be recognised already in its historical development: Initially a procedure was introduced by Jackson and Whipple around 1900 determining turbidity by means ...

Manganese in Madison’s Drinking Water
Public concern over events of manganese-discolored drinking water and the potential for adverse health effects from exposure to excess manganese reached a high level in 2005. In response, Public Health Madison Dane County, together with the Madison Water Utility, conceived and implemented a public health/water utility strategy to quantify the extent of the manganese problem, determine the ...

Turbidity tubes for drinking water quality assessments
Turbidity tubes have been considered to be the field method of choice for drinking water quality monitoring in resource-limited contexts because of their relative simplicity and low cost in comparison with conventional (nephelometric) turbidimeters. These tubes utilise the principle of visual extinction of a submerged target for turbidity determination and were therefore thought to be subject to ...

A study on the estimating of sediment concentration with turbidity and acoustic backscatter signal for different sediment sizes
Turbidity and acoustic measurement are alternative indirect methods to determine sediment concentration. Acoustic Doppler velocimetry can be used to estimate suspended sediment concentration (SSC) with the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in the water. In this study, particles size affecting turbidity and SNR values was investigated using four different sediment size groups (0–50, 50–100, 100–200, ...

Water purification: a sustainable technology for rural development
This study deals with the preliminary investigation on combined treatment with the coagulative ability of Moringa oleifera seeds to reduce turbidity and to determine the effectiveness of solar disinfection for the inactivation of Escherichia coli (E. coli) and coliforms on various turbid waters. Turbid water samples showed drastic reduction in microbial load and turbidity at time interval of 60 ...

Estimation of the dilution field near a marine outfall by using effluent turbidity as an environmental tracer and comparison with dye tracer data
The alternative use of effluent turbidity to determine the dilution field of a domestic marine outfall located off the city of Rio de Janeiro was evaluated through field work comprising fluorescent dye tracer injection and tracking with simultaneous monitoring of sea water turbidity. A preliminary laboratory assessment was carried out with a sample of the outfall effluent whose turbidity was ...

Water turbidity detector introduction
Water turbidity detector Turbidity detector is an instrument used to measure the turbidity of water samples. It determines the turbidity of a water sample by measuring the degree of scattering of light through it. Turbidity detector is widely used in water treatment, environmental protection, health supervision and other fields.The working principle of the turbidity detector is based on the ...

Relationships between the occurrence of
Giardia andCryptosporidium and physicochemical properties of marine waters of the Pacific Coast of MexicoUntreated sewage has adversely affected the quality of marine recreational waters worldwide. Exposure to marine recreational water with poor microbial quality may pose a threat to bathers. The objectives of this study were to assess the effect of physicochemical parameters on Cryptosporidium and Giardia presence in marine recreational water of Sinaloa, Mexico, by Logistic Regression Analyses. ...

Turbidity and TSS: Keys that you need to know
Turbidity and TSS are two separate but comparable measurements of water clarity Turbidity is determined by evaluating the light-scattering qualities of the water and determining how clear or translucent it is TSS refers to any particles suspended in the water column, including silt, algae, sediment, and other substances (both organic and inorganic) Researchers typically describe water ...

Comparative analysis of two low cost point-of-use water treatment systems
The study examined two low-cost point-of-use water treatment systems developed in respect of bacterial and particulate removal when exposed to surface water for three months. Bacterial removal efficiency was estimated using E. coli and fecal coliforms, while particulate reduction efficiency was estimated by determining turbidity and total suspended solids (TSS). The systems investigated were ...

Chitosan use in chemical conditioning for dewatering municipal-activated sludge
This work aims to evaluate the potential use of chitosan as an eco-friendly flocculant in chemical conditioning of municipal-activated sludge. Chitosan effectiveness was compared with synthetic cationic polyelectrolyte Sedipur CF802 (Sed CF802) and ferric chloride (FeCl3). In this context, raw sludge samples from Beni-Messous wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) were tested. The classic jar test ...

Impact of calculation method, sampling frequency and hysteresis on suspended solids and total phosphorus load estimations in cold climate
Load calculations of nutrients and suspended solids (SS) transported by rivers are usually based on discrete water samples. Water quality changes in cold climate regions often occur very rapidly and therefore discrete samples are unrepresentative of the range of water quality occurring. This leads to errors of varying magnitude in load calculation. High-resolution turbidity data were used to ...

Application of unidirectional flushing in water distribution pipes
In this study unidirectional flushing (UDF) was conducted to improve the effectiveness of deposit removal from internal pipe walls and to provide information on pipe networks to enable operators to implement flushing in field. Four ductile cast iron pipes with epoxy-lined and cement-lined were selected for the practice of UDF. Water pressure was measured using a data logger equipped with a ...

Combined SAXS/UV−vis/Raman as a diagnostic and structure resolving tool in materials and life sciences applications
Abstract: In order to diagnose and fully correlate structural, chemical, and functional features of macromolecules and particles in solution, we propose the integration of spectroscopy and scattering on the same measuring volume and at the same time in a dedicated sample environment with multiple probes. Combined SAXS/UV−vis and SAXS/Raman information are employed to study the radiation ...

Identification of key water quality characteristics affecting the filterability of biologically treated effluent in low-pressure membrane filtration
There are many water quality characteristics which could influence the filterability of biologically treated effluent from Melbourne's Western Treatment Plant (WTP). Statistical correlation was used to identify the key water characteristics affecting the microfiltration (MF) and ultrafiltration (UF) filterability in terms of permeate volume of the treated effluent. The models developed showed ...

Assessment of the impact of water parameters on the flow rate of ceramic pot filters in a long-term experiment
Poor water quality is a major contributing factor to disease in developing countries. Silver-coated ceramic pot filters (CPFs) are a relatively common form of household water treatment system (HWTS) representing an effective and sustainable technology for poor communities. Water production seems to be the major limiting factor of the CPF's lifetime and sustainability since low flow rates do ...

The spectral absorption coefficient at 254 nm as a real-time early warning proxy for detecting faecal pollution events at alpine karst water resources
Because spring water quality from alpine karst aquifers can change very rapidly during event situations, water abstraction management has to be performed in near real-time. Four summer events (2005–2008) at alpine karst springs were investigated in detail in order to evaluate the spectral absorption coefficient at 254 nm (SAC254) as a real-time early warning proxy for faecal pollution. For the ...
