Singapore’s water quality is well within the water guidelines set by the World Health Organization (WHO), and is suitable for drinking without any further filtration. PUB has implemented a comprehensive water quality sampling and monitoring system that carefully tracks the water quality at raw water source, all stages of the water treatment process and throughout the distribution network. By investing in research, development and new technolog

A long time customer of Tecta-PDS, they now have x15 Tecta-B16 instruments installed. The units are used for remote monitoring of groundwater resources around Thailand, compared to previously taking samples from around the country and sending them to the main cities for analysis.

The Groundwater Analysis Division at the Department of Groundwater Resources for Thailand has quite a mandate! However, their main task is analyzing the physical, chemical, toxic, and bacterial quality of wat

University of Zagreb, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Department of Hydroscience and Engineering has been working on several projects regarding water and wastewater treatment. Their focus is on developing electrochemical and ultrasonic technologies for water disinfection with the efficiency of developed methods being evaluated by the presence of total coliforms and Escherichia coli (E.coli).

Byrdstown Water Department is First to Automate Bacteriological Testing in TN
You can call them pioneers or call them visionaries. But whatever you call them, Byrdstown Water is revolutionizing water quality testing in Tennessee. In November of 2019, the Byrdstown Water Department became the first water system in the State of Tennessee to implement the TECTA automated bacteriological testing (Bac-T) device. TECTA is the only automated system approved by the U.S. Environm

Introduction – Biosolids application

Abstract
This study was done to characterize the use of the TECTA™ system for rapid, automated detection of Fecal Coliform (FC) and E. coli (EC) bacteria in a combined test, with incubation at 44.5 °C. It provided automatic detection without the need for a technician at the end of the test, and results were logged and transmitted by e-mail. The TECTA test was performed alongside reference methods (APHA Standard Method 9222D, mFC, for FC; US-EPA Method 1603, mTE

Status of Drinking Water in Indigenous Communities

Indigenous communities including First Nations reserves across Canada have a notorious history of poor or inconsistent drinking water quality

• Many communities (55 as of Mar. 25, 2021) are under long-termdrinking water advisories, meaning potable tap water has not been available for several years
• The Canadian Government has a program to invest in improvements to drinking water infrastructure wh
