Alpha Measurement Solutions products

Clean drinking water is essential to human health. Monitoring and controlling pH at multiple stages along the drinking water production process ensures the final product is safe for consumption. Measurement of pH is critical in the drinking water process for the following reasons:

Municipal and industrial wastewater facilities are continuously monitoring water quality upstream for incoming wastewater, on-site at the treatment facility, and downstream to verify effluent treatment is effective. Regulatory requirements dictate pH measurements to be taken and reported on a continuous basis. In municipal wastewater facilities, monitoring and controlling pH ensures the wastewater treatment process is operating properly. pH measurement is used to track the health and performance of the wastewater biology resulting in efficient use of treatment chemicals. Regulations dictate acceptable permit limits and require facilities to monitor pH throughout the treatment process.

The expansion of global seaborne transportation has created a massive undertaking in formulating ballast water management protocols that include pH and a host of other water quality measurements. Ballast water is the most common way for ships to adjust the way the vessel floats and is balanced in transit, especially when cargo has been emptied.
