Hong Kong reports ProAm’s performance
The evaluation of the ProAm ammonia monitor at one of the major treatment works in Hong Kong has now been successfully concluded. The ProAm outperformed the existing on-line technology and correlated very well against the on site laboratory analysis. When the site is upgraded during 2008, the ProAm will be the instrument of choice as it demonstrated with better repeatability, lower detection, provision of both intermittent and continuous measurement and lower cost of ownership.
Nitrite analyser installed on potable water site
A Trescon nitrite analyser has been commissioned to continual analyse treated potable water for the presence of nitrite to ensure compliance to the Water Supply Water Quality Regulations 1989. As part of the disinfection process, ammonia is added following chlorination to form chloramine which has a long residence time preventing biological contamination. The instrument can safeguard against the formation of nitrites, by the oxidation of the ammonia if incorrectly dosed.
