Hach Lange’s new Portable Turbidimeter 2100 Q:
|
|
Turbidity is a very important parameter in water analysis. In fact, in drinking water, turbidity can indicate the presence of high bacteria levels, pathogens, or particles that can shelter harmful organisms from disinfection processes. Therefore water treatment plants constantly monitor turbidity levels to ensure that the water does not exceed safe levels.
Turbidity is also important in industrial processes or products where particulates can be detrimental to the end use, or are vital ingredients of the product. In either case, turbidity can be used as a quality control measure to monitor the efficiency of the treatment or manufacturing process.
The new 2100Q Portable Turbidimeter provides easy and accurate turbidity measurements. With its on-screen assisted calibration and the new Rapidly Settling Turbidity mode, accurate and fast results can be obtained even by a non-professional user.

Process water; Boiler/Cooling Tower Principle:
|
|
Boiler feedwater consists of makeup water plus condensed steam. For makeup, many plants utilize raw water that requires pretreatment with some combination of clarifiers, sand filters and mixed media filters. The resulting water then undergoes additional treatment through reverse osmosis membranes, demineralizers, electrodeionizers, ultrafiltration or other systems. The final low conductivity ultrapure water provides the levels needed for optimal boiler performance.
Utilization of pure condensate instead of makeup water provides tremendous value to the plant by minimizing use of chemicals and energy to produce makeup water. However, condensate inevitably involves the risk of steam cycle contamination from condenser leaks. Returning poor condensate to a boiler may result in reduced heat transfer efficiency, increased blowdown, and associated water, energy and chemical costs. Condensate monitoring may allow early detection of condenser leaks and provides information on total boiler water treatment performance.
Regardless of the water source, problems in water treatment will propagate through the entire steam cycle if not corrected. Maintaining and troubleshooting the equipment utilized to process raw water or condensate constitutes a critical step in the cycle.

Hach Lange’s Oxygen Dissolved monitoring with the new approved LDO method:
|
|
LDO is an abbreviation for Luminescent Dissolved Oxygen, which uses an innovative technology for measuring dissolved oxygen in water. The sensor requires minimal maintenance because it has no membrane, does not require polarization, and rarely needs calibration.
Use the LDO Probe with the SC100 Controller for an accurate, low maintenance system for continuous dissolved oxygen measurements or you can use the portable HQD meters in the lab or in the field for quick and accurate measurements.

Hach Lange’s SC-platform universal controllers:
|
|
SC for Standard Controller – this is what HACH LANGE calls its universal controller concept for all probes and analyzers. The controllers and the high quality digital sensors from HACH LANGE form a perfectly synchronized system, which can also include conventional analogue sensors easily. For either a standalone single-parameter solution or complex network: The SC platform is the ideal interface between user and plant – with simple handling, proven versatility and sustainable efficiency.

Water analysis, COD and BOD Measurements:
|
|
COD is an indirect measure of the amount of organics in a water sample.
COD is measured by oxidizing organics with a strong oxidant (dichromate) and measuring the amount of oxidant consumed in the reaction. Correlation between COD and BOD is sample specific and may not always be possible.

Gas detection, the new Gas Alter Quattro:
|
|
The BW Technologies’ GasAlertQuattro is a multi-gas detector designed for simplicity, durability and reliability making it the perfect unit for gas detection. The BW Technologies GasAlertQuattro is the only gas detector to include IntelliFlash™, a green LED that continuously flashes allowing users and supervisors to quickly verify normal operation and compliance from up to 20 feet away eliminating the need for manual checks and inspections.
Rugged and reliable, the BW Technologies GasAlertQuattro Multi-Gas Detector detects up to four gases and combines a comprehensive range of features with simple one-button operation.

*Food hygiene monitoring, SystemSure Plus ATP monitoring system:
|
|
Assessing the cleanliness of a surface immediately after cleaning ensures contamination has been removed. Depending on the industry, this system will help product quality, extend product shelf life, prevent cross-contamination, enable immediate corrective action and/or avoid recalls. ATP hygiene monitoring provides accurate and traceable verification of the hygienic status of a surface or water, which is a key component of a good hygiene program. ATP testing is a universally recognized tool used by large Blue Chip companies along with medium and small-sized businesses for measuring the hygienic status of surfaces and water in order to ensure product consistency and safety.
