Advantages of Oxygen Meters as Wastewater Treatment

There are various maintenance measures and controls applied by factories from any industrial sector for the treatment of wastewater and the aim is to measure the amounts of dissolved oxygen. Through the dissolved oxygen meters, the intake is regulated by air sensors to capture the presence of bacteria in the reactors.

It should be noted that measurement processes have gone through various practices from different stages. Initially, it was achieved through the use of amperometric sensors, which require maintenance to give life to the equipment.

According to this, oxygen meters provide advantages of use, since they can be applied for various sectors such as food, beverages, chemical laboratory, etc., because of their broad receptivity and efficiency.

Benefits of Use

Thanks to the technology applied by the dissolved oxygen meters with the use of sensors, the readings are more accurate and low maintenance, because they usually have a type of digital communication allowing the signals to be transmitted directly to the administrator without passing through a local supervisor. That is why, for most plants containing wastewater, they have equipment that facilitates the work of the operators.

That said, oxygen meters should be handled in compliance with the following measures:

  • Correct handling of the sensor: the correct handling for the measurement, is due to the placement of the sensor, where it is essential to take into account the installation as a representative order, since it must be located deeply, because usually at the top there are alterations that are caused by contamination of the sample and errors arise in the reading.
  • It should not be installed in the corners of the spaces because dirt accumulates and causes the sensor to become dirty and affect the oxygen measurement. The correct thing is to place it at half the height of the water content and away from the edges or walls.
  • You do not need to wait for measurements.
  • No need for minimum flow rates

Recommendations

In order to have an adequate concentration of dissolved oxygen in wastewater, it is essential to keep microorganisms alive to contribute to the disintegration of waste. For this, the most efficient way is using the oxygen meters that Kalstein can offer you, because thanks to its accurate and continuous records, it adds to the water treatment system automatic control to execute correct measurements, so you must comply with calibration protocols. It is advisable that the sensors are guarded by probe mechanisms with suitable extensions to be able to be installed correctly. Such extensions must cling to the reactor to prevent movement from arising and to avoid variations in records.

Similarly, it is recommended that these probes are made of waterproof materials, and at Kalstein we manufacture mechanisms in polypropylene with exceptional details that provide resistance and can be immersed without limits. In addition, these can be cleaned automatically so that they do not cause alterations and improve the measuring conditions. Finally, sensors must be calibrated periodically to avoid future problems and prevent deviations in measurements.
