Streaming Current Monitor in the Drinking Water Coagulation Process

A Streaming Current Monitor (SCM) from Pi can be used as an effective feedback coagulation control tool, allowing the operator to optimise the coagulant dose.

The main objective when using a streaming current analyser is to keep the level of residual coagulant at a minimum while maintaining desired final water quality and process efficiency. Due to the chemistry of some waters, streaming current monitors alone are insufficient to properly control coagulation. This is when Pi’s streaming current analyser, StreamerSense, is superior to other SCMs on the market in that it is designed in modular form to allow integration of other sensors such as pH and UV254. The StreamerSense is a world first in providing all the tools needed for coagulation monitoring or a coagulation control instrumentation package.

The StreamerSense has a patented sensor design, setting it apart from other streaming current monitors on the market. It is robust and reliable, with excellent process control. In applications where charge neutralisation is the primary coagulation mechanism, the StreamerSense is suitable for all potable waters.

The StreamerSense only requires maintenance and calibration every 12 months. This can be done by the operator or Pi’s service support team. The image above shows the StreamerSense installed at a drinking water site in Northumbria, which was recently commissioned.
