SciTOX safeguards your wastewater treatment
Environmental monitoring is essential to safeguarding communities from the release of pollutants and toxins into public waters. To meet the demand for a rapid, robust, and accurate means of monitoring for toxic contamination in wastewater and the effects of those toxins on the biology of a wastewater treatment plant, SciTOX has developed an analyzer to assay all toxicants in the waste stream within fifteen minutes.
Toxic compounds arriving at a wastewater treatment facility limit the effectiveness of the treatment. This means poorer effluent quality and risk of toxic discharge to the environment, increased power consumption when treating the waste, and the need for increased treatment plant size to accommodate the degree of treatment needed.
Many municipalities also charge industrial contributors to the wastewater based on the degree of toxic effect to their treatment plant, or on the total treatment requirement or the waste.
The SciTOX toxicity analyzer allows such near real-time measurement of toxic inflow, and is a vital tool for testing, accepting/rejecting, and charging customers sending such waste to the municipality.
