A critical challenge facing today’s clean-water plants is tightening effluent limits on nutrients, most notably phosphorus. Reliable nutrient reduction depends in part on accurate measurement at key stages in the process.
Today, innovative technologies are enhancing nutrient measurement, giving operators important insights to nutrient levels received in influent. Digital monitoring tools allow operators to monitor nutrients in real time so that they can optimize the process and comply consistently with permit requirements.
One such tool is the Alyza IQ analyzer from YSI (a Xylem brand). It accurately measures orthophosphate or ammonia in wastewater in real time, using minimal reagents and so reducing operating
