BASF at Bradford upgrade Protoc TOC analyser technology
One of the largest chemical manufacturing sites in the UK, producing compounds to enhance industrial processes, has recently upgraded their old Protoc CPU instrument with the latest Protoc TOC technology following more than 10 years of reliable service. The new instrument has been supplied with an additional IC module to allow the manufacturer to continuously measure condensate for TOC loading and also to verify the inorganic carbon concentration within towns-water entering the site.
Fourth Protoc TOC analyser shipped to Indian refinery for effluent monitoring
Forbes Marshall placed a new order for an additional Protoc 300 TOC analyser for a project with Hindustan Dorr Oliver Ltd. (HDO) on behalf of Brahmaputra Crackers & Polymers Ltd located at Lepetkata in Assam. This brings the total Protoc TOC analysers supplied to this project to four systems, three of which were shipped last month.
Protoc TOC protects Llangefni WwTW
A new Mcerts approved Protoc 300 TOC analyser has been installed at Llangefni
WwTW for DWR Cymru - Welsh Water to upgrade a previous system installed more than 8 years ago. The new Protoc 300 TOC analyser will continue to provide continuous measurement at the inlet to the treatment facility. A 'Spyder' touch screen is connected to locally display graphical trends and allow for data collection. Additionally, connection to the site's Scada system also permits real-time alarming of high strength influent entering the works to enable operations to proactively adjust treatment processes.
DWR Cymru -Welsh Water selects further Ammolytplus ammonia systems
Two IQ Sensor Net systems with ammolytplus ammonium measurement have been purchased to provide compliance monitoring of final effluent and post SAF ammonium measurement at Pentyberem WwTW in south Wales. The ammolytplus instrumentation was selected because of it's reliable performance on other DWR Cymru sites for similar applications and replaces existing analysers performing in-situ analysis that have been difficult to maintain.

United Utilities purchases Protoc 300 TOC analyser
A Protoc 300 TOC analyser with Paper Band Filtration system (removing suspended solids above 20 micron) has been installed at the Workington WwTW. The analyser ranged 0-500 PPM TOC will provide continuous measurement of the load entering the works. Data is transmitted to a touch screen providing graphical representation and data logging. Additionally, GPRS communications will also be installed to transmit data to a secure website allowing remote access.
Ganol WwTW near Llandudno equips with PPM instruments
Dwr Cymru -Welsh Water, have installed PPM instruments at strategic locations across Ganol WwTW. At the inlet, PPM have supplied a walkin analyser kiosk equipped with a Protoc 300 TOC analyser reporting organic loading entering the treatment facility and an IQ Sensor Net system (Ammolytplus 700 technology) reporting the ammonia concentrations. The centrate return is now continuously monitored using the IQ technology (SensoLyt 700 pH probe) which is mounted in a stainless steel weld-in socket allowing in-pipe monitoring. Additionally a third IQ system is installed at the final outfall where the VisoTurb 700 sensor measures the turbidity of a pumped sample.
Wessex Water purchases six Water Quality Loggers
An order has been received for six battery powered WQL probes reporting pH, redox, conductivity and temperature. The blind data loggers manufactured by WTW, are housed in a 316 stainless steel (25mm diameter) housing that can be discretely installed to collect water quality data. The area scientists will deploy the WQL technology in-sewer and at the inlet to waste water treatment works, to monitor trade discharge and saline intrusion.
RWE Innogy purchase trace DO monitors
Two trace level DO monitors have been purchased for installation at the Didcot Power Station to monitor boiler water for trace level DO concentrations. An inhibitor is dosed to remove oxygen which if present can cause corrosion to pipework and boilers, so accurate measurement at low concentrations is an important control mechanism.

Welsh Water choose Ammolytplus technology
Two IQ Sensor Net systems with Ammolytplus ammonium measurement have been purchased to provide feed-forward and feed-back control at Pennybont WwTW in south Wales. The instrumentation will control the aeration process which promotes nitrification to remove ammonia. The decision to select the IQ Sensor Net follows positive feedback, from similar final effluent monitoring installations made within Welsh Water and a recent application specific evaluation at Cross Hands WwTW.
Four-D commission two portable IQ turbidity systems
Two portable, battery powered IQ Sensor Net systems have been built in to rugged water proof cases. The portable systems integrate the latest lithium-ion battery technology significantly reducing the transportable weight (and manual handling risk). The on-line turbidity instrumentation, will assist Four-D to collect valuable filter performance data at Southern Water sites at locations where power supply is not available.
Anglian Water installs a final effluent ammonia monitor
Another IQ Sensor Net Ammolytplus ammonium system with compressed air cleaning has been purchased for continuous ammonium measurement. The instrumentation will be installed at Raleigh WwTW to measure final effluent quality.
Three further Protoc TOC analysers for India
Forbes Marshall has placed an order for three Protoc 300 TOC analysers for a project with Hindustan Dorr Oliver Ltd. (HDO) on behalf of Brahmaputra Crackers & Polymers Ltd located at Lepetkata in Assam. The analysers will be installed to monitor site effluent and cover three quite different measuring ranges 0-50 PPM, 0-100 PPM and 0-800 PPM TOC.

Severn Trent Water repeats call off order for Proam ammonia
Severn Trent Water have authorised an additional order to supply a further 30 Proam ammonia monitors. The delivery of the instruments will be scheduled over a 3 month period and installed for continuous final effluent compliance monitoring.
Wessex Water installs further ammolytplus ammonium probes
Two further sites have been equipped with the IQ ammolyplus ammonium probe technology for waste water monitoring. A final effluent monitoring system has been installed at Bradford WwTW and two further ammolytplus 700 IQ probes have been installed at Cramborne WwTW.
PPM water quality instruments protect Irish distillery
The latest Protoc 300 TOC technology has been installed by our Irish distributor Ntron, to upgrade an older model at the largest Irish whiskey distillery, located in Cork, Southern Ireland. The distillery has also integrated the ProAm ammonia monitor to analyse the abstracted river water and ensure optimum quality is maintained.
Proam ammonia semiconductor plant monitoring in Taiwan
Our distributor, Atlas Technology in Taiwan has taken delivery of a ProAm ammonia monitor for supply to a semiconductor plant in Taiwan needing to monitor waste water. The standard instrument has been modified to extend the measuring range to 1,000 PPM nitrogen, to enable complete data capture during the initial monitoring phase.
