IFAT 2018

Anzeige Real time BOD from Proteus Instruments, Hall C1, stand 128 IFAT 2018 sees the global launch of the Proteus, the world’s only scientifically proven real time BOD sensor Whether you are responsible for monitoring water quality at a util- ity company, a company with an in- dustrial process that requires efflu- ent treatment or at an environmental protection agency to monitor pollu- tion incidents you will know about the difficulties of measuring BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand). RS Hydro and Proteus Instruments are pleased to officially launch the Proteus platform of instruments that can accurately measure BOD, COD, TOC & DOC in real-time. The Proteus range represents a tru- ly global scientific breakthrough in providing low cost real time data for BOD, COD, TOC and DOC. There are currently two models available: Proteus BOD (for real- time high frequency monitoring of Biochemical Oxygen Demand and Chemical Oxygen Demand) and the Proteus DOC (for Dissolved Organic Carbon monitoring). If you think you know fluorometers, thing again…this is like nothing you’ve ever seen before. It’s built us- ing the latest patented technology, developed by RS Hydro and experts at Birmingham University. The plat- formmeasures tryptophan-like fluo- rescence which has a direct correla- tion with BOD and faecal coliforms. With an integrated wiper, internal datalogging, options for real-time remote monitoring and a choice of >30 parameters, the Proteus is truly a global revolution that can be used almost anywhere including: • WWTW process control & moni- toring • Faecal Coliform monitoring; • Groundwater quality monitoring; • Flow & Load Surveys (BOD Loading) • Control of wastewater monitoring processes • Compliance monitoring, • Drinking water protection; • River pollution monitoring & control • Bathing water quality monitoring • Point source pollution surveys • CSO even detection • Replace/compliment BOD5 sam- pling. We all know a Company who has been prosecuted for polluting the environment; the physical cost, the reputational cost, the envi- ronmental cost….all of which are huge when compared to the cost of proactive monitoring and control. Until now it has not been possible, until now! The Proteus gives the power of control back into the op- erators hands! Let’s just take a moment to think how that could change the lives of millions of people: WWTWs will save megawatts of energy per annum per location due to ef- ficiencies; rivers, bathing waters and groundwater systems could be protected from pollution; and drinking water supplies in the first world and third world alike could be protected and monitored for faecal coliforms…truly ground- breaking. It is little wonder why they have had so much interest and why Proteus Instruments are set to change the way reactive or- ganic matter loads are monitored improving reliability, accuracy and resolution. Added benefits of Proteus instru- ments: • Real-time data - easy link up to telemetry and SCADA for alarms/ alerts of specified threshold ex- ceedance (SDI 12, RS232, MOD- BUS) • Easily deployable – wide range of environments (Inc. inlets, effluents, reservoirs or boreholes) • Versatile – modular design enables a wide range of additional param- eters to be recorded concurrently (e. g. Temperature, turbidity, pH, conductivity, optical DO, chloro- phyll a, ORP, ammonia) that can be deployed in dirty or clean water systems. • Portable – Bluetooth option also available • Sensitive – can also detect very low concentrations for use in clean water systems • Low maintenance – self-cleaning with automatic wiper and simple calibration only every 6 - 12 months There are numerous applications including • Monitoring effluents for compli- ance • Development of process control algorithms • Identification of cross-connected sewers • Combined sewage overflow mon- itoring • Environmental monitoring If you would like further information please visit Proteus Instruments in Hall C1, stand 128 or contact them by email info@proteus-instruments.com or visit their website www.proteus-instruments.com
