Wastewater Application Solutions
PRIMARY AND SECONDARY STAGES
Primary Wastewater Treatment TSS Monitoring
The effectiveness of the pre-treatment system is affected by the highly polluted wastewater streams from a palm oil mill which contain various suspended solid contents.
Secondary Wastewater Treatment pH Monitoring
For the execution of anaerobic treatment, the optimum temperature is 37° C. Hence, cool- ing process using cooling towers is needed before biological treatment because POME at this stage exists at a high temperature of 75 to 90°C. However, acidifying processes will occur as well, in which oil/grease is converted into fatty acids and consequently become short-chain organic acids via enzymatic reactions. Odour-generating substances are released at the same time which creates an unpleasant smell. Control of pH (at about 7-7.5) is important to avoid this problem.
FINAL EFFLUENT
APPLICATION Water Treatment Discharge Monitoring
Installing an ID-223 sensor in the final ponding system will continuously monitor the discharged water and ensure treatment is running smoothly. A spill condition will be detected and the operator notified, or the system can automatically stop the dis- charge and contain the spill, allowing the operator time to take appropriate action.

Why Is It Important To Detect Leaks (Early)
Leaks have significant cost and maintenance impact:- Product Loss
- Revenue Loss
- Reprocessing Costs
- Higher Cost Of Manufacturing Due To Lower Yield
- Water Ways Contamination
Fouling:
Contaminated steam, feed, condensate leads to equipment failure or higher maintenance costs.
Energy costs:Loss of efficiency - more energy to achievesame heat transfer
Corrosion:Online TOC monitoring can be used to detect leaks in the heat exchange system organics form organic acids in steam cycles
