Simplify DO Monitoring with Flexible, Low-Maintenance Sensors

There’s no bigger priority in wastewater treatment than monitoring dissolved oxygen–and making sure measurements are accurate.

Inaccurate DO measurements are disastrous for process and budget. Pump too little oxygen and the organisms converting ammonia can die, putting the whole process on hold until you can get bacteria back in your tanks. That can take days.

This can be avoided by pumping loads of oxygen, but not without a huge waste of energy and funds. In a traditional setting, aerators or diffusers account for approximately 50-70 percent of a plant’s entire energy cost. Reducing aeration could mean huge savings.

Chances are you need less DO than you think. Accurate DO measurements are key to identifying the right balance and improving efficiency with confidence.

The good news is you don’t need to spend a fortune on complicated systems to make that happen. Reliable optical DO sensors provide all the data you need to cut costs, save energy and keep the sludge bugs happy.

Rugged to the Core

At the core of all In-Situ dissolved oxygen sensors is our Rugged Dissolved Oxygen (RDO) technology. Our RDO probes maximize antifouling and minimize maintenance. Here’s how:
