Real-Time UV254 Monitoring for Water Quality: UVT & UVA Solutions

   Unseen organics can derail UV254 water quality monitoring, spike chemical costs, and trigger compliance violations. UV254 UVT (Ultraviolet Transmittance) and UVA (UV Absorbance) measurements pinpoint dissolved organics and guide dosing in seconds with no lab reagents required.  What Is UVT & UVA Monitoring?  UVT (Ultraviolet Transmittance) measures the percentage of 254 nm light passing through water, directly tied […]

Real-Time UV254 Pool Water Quality Monitoring: UVT & UVA Solutions

Unseen organics from sunscreen to body oils can undermine UV disinfection, drive up chlorine use, and trigger DBP (THM/HAA) formation. Real-time UV254 UVT (Ultraviolet Transmittance) and UVA (UV Absorbance) monitoring delivers instant pool water quality data with no reagents or lab trips so operators optimize UV dose, cut chemicals, and safeguard swimmer health.   Why UV254 Monitoring Matters […]

Optimizing Wastewater Aeration Control for Process Stability and Cost Savings

Optimizing Wastewater Aeration Control for Process Stability and Cost Savings Jun 18 3 min read Aeration is the backbone of biological wastewater treatment driving the breakdown of organics and conversion of toxic nitrogen compounds, yet it accounts for 45-75% of a plant’s total energy use. This range was first quantified by Rosso et al. (2008) […]
