Don’t Wait for Abnormal Situations To Let Folks Know About the Economics

Running water treatment systems efficiently includes thinking about the economics which…face it…most mill personnel take for granted.  You know the economics behind it all, but outside the Powerhouse and WWTP, the economics of  waste handling, sludge processing, and water treatment costs get ignored by more glamourous production and safety concerns… until something abnormal happens.

Others Need to Know About the Economics You Face on Daily Basis

Here our list of economic factors that water treatment experts have to deal with.

Continuous BOD/COD Monitoring

  • Reduced Operating Costs: Continuous real-time data enables quick and informed decisions preventing over or under treatment.
  • Preventive Maintenance: Early warning to reduce risk of unexpected equipment failures and unplanned outages.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Trigger actions that help ensure compliance and avoid fines for exceeding BOD/COD Limits.
  • Sludge Management:  Minimizing sludge by controlling the BOD/COD levels, leading significant treatment & disposal cost savings.
  • Optimized Microbial Activity: Better control actions that lead to higher bacterial efficiency, reducing the need for additional treatments
  • Water Reuse Opportunities: Consistently meeting low BOD/COD levels provides opportunities for wastewater reuse, saving on freshwater sourcing.

  • Improved Decision Making: Rapid data for informed, immediate decisions saving on chemicals, energy, and other expenses.
  • Efficient Resource Utilization: Identify and address abnormal situations, allocate resources to resolve costly issues promptly.
  • Regulatory Compliance:  Reduce the risk of non-compliance fines that could arise from exceeding limits.
  • Early Problem Detection: Unusual BOD/COD levels detected during spot checks can serve as early warning.
  • Quality Control: Spot checks along effluent streams contributing to efforts to keep low BOD/COD .

Real Tech has the BOD/COD technology to continuously monitor the biological oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) or the Field Test Meters that return results in 5 seconds without reagents or hazardous chemicals requiring disposal.
