By monitoring and recording suspended solids levels at key processing stages, works managers are able to exercise effective control of the plant and ensure that discharge consent levels are adhered to and running costs optimised. South West Water?s WWTW at Exmouth in South Devon is a great example of how the investment in an integrated suspended solids monitoring system supplied by Partech can contribute to cost-effective effluent treatment.

On the hills above Merthyr Tydfil, Miller Argent is undertaking a highly ambitious land reclamation scheme that is also involving the extraction of coal by opencast methods. Known as the 'Ffos-y-fran Land Reclamation Scheme', this is the third and final phase of the East Merthyr Reclamation Scheme which is expected to run for another 17 years. The reclamation works will include the removal of known shafts and adits all previously associated with iron ore and coal workings that present a danger to humans, livestock and wild animals.

Quality drinking water is appreciated worldwide and only by applying the best treatment technologies will it satisfy all relevant standards and regulations. In the UK, Bristol Water takes pride is supplying its customers with the highest quality drinking water coming from two treatment plants close to the Severn Estuary on the north side of Bristol.

With a capacity of 60 mega litres per day, the smaller of the two plants has demonstrated itself as a valuable proving ground for the use of Partech Instruments’ sludge blanket detector 8200 Series Monitor and Soli-Tech 20. ”...

Southern Water has recently installed eight new Partech Turbi-Tech 2000LA systems at its East Worthing water treatment works for measuring Mixed Liquor Suspended Solids (MLSS) in the aeration tanks.

Southern Water has been using Partech?s Turbi-Tech 2000LA at a number of wastewater treatment works for several years. Based on the successful performance of these, the company has taken a decision to replace monitors that have proved to be problematical and replace them with the Turbi-Tech 2000LA as part of its Process Compliance Programme.

Over the past 18 months, the Environment Agency has been rolling out a number of changes relating to environmental legislation. For many sectors of industry, the one change that will not have gone unnoticed has been replacement of the Integrated Pollution Prevention & Control (IPPC) directive by the Environmental Permitting Regulations (EPR). As a result of this change, those companies holding an IPPC permit must now comply with EPR. In simple terms EPR requires companies to operate best practice to assess the risks that emissions pose to the environment. Having done that, companies must ensure that a suitable level of monitoring is carried out and which is proportional to the complexity of the operations of the installation and the perceived environmental risks.

A problem that almost all landfill sites face is the treatment of surface water run off and in particular removing suspended solids prior to discharge. The problem is all the more acute, where the landfill site is at Deep Moor in a rural area above one of Devon’s most beautiful river valleys and is a haven for aquatic wildlife.Partech have worked in conjunction with Greenacre Pumps of Newton Abbot to provide a reliable and cost effective dosing system.
