Effluent
Measuring TSS (Total Suspended Solids) and polymers (PE) in effluent is essential to ensure that treated water released from a wastewater treatment plant is safe for the environment or tertiary treatment, which focuses on advanced treatment methods to remove remaining contaminants. This stage often utilizes technologies like granular activated carbon (GAC) filtration, ion exchange, or membrane filtration (like reverse osmosis) that can not handle high loads of PE and/TSS (certainly not the combination of both).
Protecting nature by monitoring effluent
High TSS levels can harm aquatic life and indicate a suboptimal water treatment process. It can also be an alarm for a breakthrough.
Polymers, while useful in treatment, can be toxic in excess, posing risks to ecosystems.
Monitoring effluent before discharge ensures compliance with legal discharge limits and confirms treatment system efficiency. It also helps in fine-tuning chemical dosing, optimizing costs, and preventing operational issues.
Protecting the tertiary treatment, prevent membrane clogging
The combination of TSS and PE proves to be very harmful to membranes and other tertiary treatment steps. Monitoring the effluent assures a longer lifetime for these expensive consumables, and allows swift action when someting is going wrong, even before the first degradation of the membranes is noticed.
