Water treatment processes use large quantities of energy to treat and distribute water to customers. Energy use for water treatment is expected to increase as more stringent water quality rules and improved disinfection technologies, such as
121 CHAPTER 12Putting It All Together All of the elements covered in Chapters 6 through 11 must be combined to forma complete particle counting system. In most cases, the system will be supplied bya single manufacturer, as there is no way to pick and choose the best of what eachhas to offer[r]
pollution. However, where local containment is not provided, or risk assessment indicates thatadditional security is required, for example to contain firewater run-off, which may amount tothousands of cubic metres, then ”remote containment“ systems may be employed. These may be usedin isolati[r]
ranges in cm, so the system does not need the sedimentation unit and this enables easy operation. The biological nitrification is schematically pictured in Figure 2. Wastewater Reuse Disinfection SS removal Nitrification 4Research on the nitrification in our laboratory was cond[r]

Odd or unexpected increases in counts at a certainpoint in the filter run may be the result of poor sample handling, but if a patternemerges over several filter runs, the data may be considered reliable.Just as in the case of online particle counting, trending the grab[r]

SPECIFICATIONS 77 As mentioned is Section A, the smallest particle that can be reliably measuredmust produce a signal amplitude at least twice that of the noise, or a 2 to 1 signal-to-noise ratio. C. RESOLUTION This term refers to the degree to which an instrument can distinguish betweendifferences[r]
81 CHAPTER 7Particle Sensor Construction A. FLOW CELL The flow cell is a foundation piece of the particle counter sensor. It is generallymade out of aluminum or stainless steel or even plastic. Stainless steel is moreexpensive primarily because it is much harder than aluminum and thus more di[r]
determination, and even more opinions. These decisions relate more specifically toone’s overall approach to particle counting. It is important to remember that particlecounting came into vogue in the drinking water industry a few years ahead of thecomputer technology that[r]

147 CHAPTER 16Particle Sensor Construction All the manufacturers of drinking water particle counters provide particle sensorsquite similar in operation and construction. The main variation to be found is in thesize of the flow cell cross-section, and in the mounting of th[r]
wire communications involves transmitting and receiving data over the same pairof wires, while the four-wire arrangement keeps transmission and receiving linesseparate. There is no difference in speed, as the units do not transmit and receive atthe same time. ARTI, Met One, a[r]
ARTI and IBR particle counters both employ comparator-type counting elec-tronics. Each provides eight size channels. The size thresholds are set via the digitalinterface. B. POWER SUPPLY All of the units use the newer switching power supplies that provide higherefficiency and will oper[r]
