This makes it possible to keep close tabs on a broad range of system values and quality parameters including and Comprehensive water quantity and quality monitoring around the clock and energy efficiency and optimization.
Monitoring of waste water treatment
Industrial, commercial, and municipal wastewater regulatory agencies mandate many water quality parameters to protect the environment, so facilities must treat wastewater in several stages prior to discharge.
To maintain compliance, these facilities must carefully monitor water quality, substance concentrations, pollution loads, and other parameters.
NWNI ensures wastewater treatment organizations meet or maintain these requirements at all times of the day, by assisting operations with reliable forecasts of in/outflows and water quality and optimal sizing of wastewater treatment.
It also provides wastewater plants with precise flow and concentration measurements to ensure accurate billing of wastewater charges and
NWNI also supports biological process risk mitigation in wastewater plants by monitoring influent substance concentrations
It also provides systemwide visualization and recordkeeping, improving regulatory, reporting, and custody transfer accuracy.
The system also help water agencies streamline operations, improve decision-making, and increase revenue streams.
Earlier, Endress+Hauser reported consolidated sales of €2.9 billion ($3.8 billion), up 11 per cent over the previous year.
