Problem: Staff at the Jack H. Wilson Water Treatment Plant owned by Central Arkansas Water identified significant inefficiencies in process turbidity workflow. One operator spent six to eight hours per week cleaning the turbidimeters. In addition, the plant issued a standard operating procedure to collect a manual grab sample every four hours.
Solution: The plant team selected Lovibond PTV Series Process Turbidimeters. Instrument Technician II, Alan Dickey says, “This is the only turbidity meter I have seen that worked correctly right out of the box.” The devices were easy to install and use, and required little maintenance. They are cleaned quarterly along with scheduled calibration.
Result: The plant continues to run monthly dry verifications on the turbidimeters. Operators found the instruments delivered data so consistently and reliably that they were able to end the grab samples. 800-922-5242; www.lovibond.com
