Industrial effluent monitoring

The MS1800 VOC gas monitor is used to monitor the industrial effluent from factories and business premises to ensure that they are complying with environmental regulations. Discharge of VOCs into wastewater is an endemic problem in chemical processing and other industrial processes. For this reason, many industrial facilities have purification plants to remove the bulk of these contaminants from the water before it’s discharged. However spills can overrun the treatment capacity and lead to illegal discharges, pollution, fines and PR disasters.

When this happens, it is likely that the environmental agency will ask for expensive on-line TOC analysers to be installed, which require a lot of reagents and are an additional cost. By installing an MS1800 VOC analyser at the effluent, you can be notified as soon as the values start to increase and take appropriate actions, avoiding all the problems associated with unexpected pollution events.

Sewage System Monitoring

Hydrocarbons in sewage lines pose a threat to maintenance personnel and could potentially contaminate the sludge in a sewage treatment plant. Sludge might become contaminated with hydrocarbons as the result of defective oil separators, unintentional spills or even dumping. Once sludge contains hydrocarbons it has to be treated as chemical waste rather than fertilizer. This can significantly increase the price of disposal. By using the MS1800 VOC Gas monitor, we can detect peak in the concentrations of VOCs in the sewage system and take appropriate actions, thus optimizing the treatment process.
