Predictive water quality modelling and resilience flow conditioning to manage discolouration risk in operational trunk mains
This paper presents predictive discolouration modelling and subsequent field trial validation for a cast iron trunk main network. This enabled a UK water company to propose an ‘operational flow conditioning’ maintenance plan that reduces discolouration risk, improves network resilience and asset condition and yet does not require the trunk main to be decommissioned for invasive ...

Qdos metering pumps solve turbidity testing dilemma for Welsh Water
Until recently, turbidity testing at the Pontsticill Water Treatment Works in the Brecon Beacons National Park relied on the use of bellows pump technology. However, the inherent introduction of air in the samples was undesirable and led to false readings. Now though, relief has arrived in the shape Watson-Marlow’s new Qdos 30 metering pumps, which not only provide excellent suction ...

Assessment of erosion and sedimentation dynamic in a combined sewer network using online turbidity monitoring
Eroded sewer sediments are a significant source of organic matter discharge by combined sewer overflows. Many authors have studied the erosion and sedimentation processes at the scale of a section of sewer pipe and over short time periods. The objective of this study was to assess these processes at the scale of an entire sewer network and over 1 month, to understand whether phenomena ...

Boskalis - Kitimat, B.C., Canada - Case Study
Description: Contaminated sediments must be removed and a new basin dredged for a terminal for LNG Canada. Nearby eelgrass beds should be protected from sedimentation caused by sediment spill from the dredging works, especially if those sediments are contaminated. Three SediMeter SM4 are deployed in the nearby eelgrass beds to monitor turbidity and sediment accumulation, and a fourth instrument ...

Turbidity Monitoring Establishes Baseline Data Prior to Construction Activities - Case Study
Overview The Pono Kai Seawall is located on the eastern coastline of the island of Kaua’i. It was significantly damaged from years of exposure to high tides, heavy rains, and pounding surf. The seawall was to be repaired by constructing a sheet pile wall with a rock toe and adding beach nourishment. However, the repair project could result in suspended sediment that might degrade water ...

Turbidity Measurements in Drinking Water, Effluent Discharges and Coagulant Controlling
This month at Partech Water Instruments we’re talking about our turbidity sensors—fantastic to use as an environmental indicator. So how can they be used? We’re here to tell you about turbidity sensors being utilised for drinking water, effluent discharges and coagulant controlling. Turbidity Sensors and Drinking Water Turbidity sensors are an excellent way of analysing water ...

Dairy Crest – Dairy Effluent Treatment Case Study and Partech Water Instruments
In order to comply with environmental regulations, the food and beverage industry relies heavily on constant monitoring and control of wastewater and effluent, before discharge from the plant. Additionally, if process plants fail to be vigilant when it comes to monitoring all areas of waste treatment, the results can be unsuccessful. Partech’s water instruments are used by Dairy ...

Clearing up the confusion about TSS and turbidity
Over the years, we’ve found there’s a lot of confusion about suspended solids and turbidity. Unfortunately, that holds back good water monitoring, so we thought it’d be helpful to bring some clarity to the subject—if you’ll excuse the pun. We’ve thought this through carefully because we’ve developed Phathom sensors that can directly measure turbidity and ...

Organic Matter in Drinking Water: A Guide for Simple Online Monitoring
Control of dissolved organics has been one of the highest priority concerns for most water treatment plants for over 20 years. Organics monitoring is an even more critical issue today in the face of more stringent regulations and concerns around trace organics, emerging contaminants, and even counter-terrorism or water security. Despite the critical need, many plants still rely primarily on ...

Understanding Turbidity of Wastewater
What is Turbidity? Turbidity, in the context of wastewater, refers to the cloudiness or haziness of the water caused by the presence of suspended particles such as clay, silt, and organic matter. These particles scatter and absorb light, making the water appear cloudy. Turbidity is often an indicator of the overall water quality and can impact aquatic ecosystems and human health. Importance of ...

Miller Argent case study
On the hills above Merthyr Tydfil, Miller Argent is undertaking a highly ambitious land reclamation scheme that is also involving the extraction of coal by opencast methods. Known as the 'Ffos-y-fran Land Reclamation Scheme', this is the third and final phase of the East Merthyr Reclamation Scheme which is expected to run for another 17 years. The reclamation works will include the removal of ...

Partech Case Study: Effluent Water Quality Monitoring at an Open Case Coal Site
Merthyr Tydfil in Wales is home to the massive Ffos-y-fran land reclamation scheme by Millar Argent, where over 10 million tonnes of coal will be extracted in the next fifteen years! So what’s the point of the land reclamation scheme? The purpose is to restore the land to its former principle use and Partech are helping with the discharge monitoring on site. You can read more detail about ...

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 ...
