Partech Service Carlsberg Brewery Drain Monitoring Systems at Northampton
There are three drain monitoring systems installed on the Northampton site which are serviced quarterly by Partech Engineers. There are regulations set by government entities to protect life and the environment and so the systems are in place to monitor for accidental contamination spillage making it’s way down the drains and into the River Nene. The systems installed on the site are able ...

High quality groundwater sampling
Representative Samples A project manager’s goal for groundwater sampling is to collect samples that are representative of actual in-situ conditions, and to maintain sample integrity by minimizing the changes in sample quality and chemistry during collection. Sampling has evolved from earlier techniques of bailing and high rate pumping, to techniques of minimal drawdown and low flow pumping. ...

ColorPlus – Absorption meter
The two parameters UV-absorption and colour are important factors when monitoring the quality of potable water. The absorption at 254 nm wavelength reacts on humid substances and additionally shows the presence of other organic compounds such as oils, aromatics, solvents and other. By means like activated carbon filtration these substances need to be removed. Studies have shown that for most ...

Pollutants released by seafloor trawling affect marine life
Commercial bottom trawling, the technique of pulling fishing gear across the seabed to catch fish and other seafood, releases pollutants trapped in the seabed, which can negatively affect local marine life and ecosystems. Recent findings from a Norwegian fjord show how mussels can take up high levels of contaminants released by trawling, with important health implications for consumers. Bottom ...

Optical water quality assessment
Scientists at the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) have proven that measuring fluorescence could improve source water monitoring during a study of the McKenzie River in Oregon. The study was designed to assess the amount, type and source of dissolved organic carbon that exists in all sources of drinking water. Dissolved organic carbon can react with chlorine during water treatment and form ...
