Water discharge regulations on local sewers, lakes or rivers set strict limits concerning the pH, TDS /conductivity, chlorine levels, and the total amount of water being discharged each day. Monitoring and discharging regulations usually differ from one municipality to another.
Measurements in industrial water treatment effluent:Flow: Monitor total volume of discharge. Flow meters verify and monitor the total amount of effluent discharge into the local water network.
pH: Monitor pH to control fluid effluent acidity/alkalinity. Monitoring pH ensures that the water will not cause destruction of the ecosystem.
ORP: Monitor to ensure that chlorine levels are appropriate for discharge. ORP sensors can monitor the de-chlorination (removal of chlorine) process accurately.
Conductivity: Monitor salt levels to ensure appropriate levels for discharge. Measuring conductivity monitors the salt concentration and allows the operators to dilute the water if necessary.
