- Total Suspended Solids (TSS)
Comprehensive Solutions for Wastewater Treatment
Norsk Analyses provides advanced monitoring and analysis tools for every stage of the wastewater treatment process. Our solutions are engineered to deliver real-time data and actionable insights, enabling operators to optimize performance and achieve stringent water quality standards.
Key Solutions Across Treatment Stages
1.Influent Monitoring
- Effective wastewater treatment starts with understanding the influent. Our systems enable real-time monitoring of flow rate, pH, temperature, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), and total suspended solids (TSS). This essential data provides plant managers with a solid foundation for assessing incoming wastewater quality and planning treatment accordingly.
- Parameters: Flow rate, pH, temperature, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total suspended solids (TSS).
- Benefit: Provides an accurate assessment of incoming water quality for effective treatment planning.
2.Screening and Grit Removal
- The screening phase removes larger debris that could disrupt later stages. By accurately measuring flow rate and TSS, we help keep screening processes efficient, minimizing the risk of blockages and protecting downstream equipment. This stage ensures that plant operations remain smooth and trouble-free, with reduced maintenance needs.
- During the grit removal, we focus on removing finer, abrasive particles like sand and silt to prevent damage to pumps and other equipment. Our system tracks flow rate and TSS, empowering plant teams to maintain the grit removal process at optimal levels, extending equipment lifespan, and enhancing system durability.
- Parameters: Flow rate, TSS.
- Benefit: Ensures efficient removal of debris and grit to protect downstream processes.
3.Primary and Secondary Clarification
- Primary clarification enables suspended solids to settle out, reducing the organic load on the system. Through precise monitoring of flow rate, TSS, BOD, and COD, our solutions help your plant maximize solids removal efficiency, enhancing the overall performance of downstream biological treatment. This data-driven approach ensures efficient operations, reducing workload and energy costs.
- At this stage, secondary clarification ensures that biological sludge separates from treated water, preparing it for disinfection. Our solutions allow accurate monitoring of TSS, BOD, and COD, confirming treatment success before discharge. This step is essential for meeting discharge quality standards, helping plant managers maintain compliance while minimizing additional treatment needs.
- Parameters: BOD, COD, TSS.
- Benefit: Optimizes sedimentation processes to remove organic and suspended solids effectively.
4.Aeration (Biological Treatment)
- Aeration is a critical stage where we use dissolved oxygen (DO) to support microbial breakdown of contaminants. By monitoring DO, BOD, COD, ammonia (NH₃), and nitrate (NO₃⁻) levels, we enable plant teams to create an optimal environment for these microorganisms, improving breakdown of organic matter. With real-time adjustments available, plant managers can optimize energy usage and treatment effectiveness.
- Parameters: Dissolved oxygen (DO), ammonia, nitrate.
- Benefit: Improves aeration efficiency, reducing energy costs and ensuring effective biological activity.
5.Disinfection and Effluent Quality
- Disinfection removes pathogens, ensuring that the treated water meets public health and regulatory standards. By monitoring chlorine residual and coliform bacteria, our system provides confidence that your plant’s effluent meets or exceeds compliance requirements. This ensures plant teams can safely discharge treated water without compromising environmental and safety standards.
- The final effluent stage is a quality check for treated wastewater. We monitor key parameters—flow rate, pH, temperature, BOD, COD, TSS, ammonia, nitrate, and coliform bacteria—ensuring that the treated water meets stringent standards. With Norsk Analyse, plant managers have a clear, complete view of treatment effectiveness, enabling secure, compliant discharge or potential reuse.
- Parameters: Chlorine residuals, coliform bacteria, pH, temperature.
- Benefit: Guarantees treated water meets safety and regulatory standards before discharge or reuse.
