Danube Project

Surface Water Monitoring

Danube River surface water monitored with s::can products Background Carsten Riechelmann built the wooden catamaran, Esperanto, with the help of 90 volunteers from 20 different nations. This vessel is to be used as an environmental monitoring station. After working with s::can equipment in wastewater research, Riechelmann realised that the high measurement frequency of the spectro::lyser […]

Don’t Fudge the Sludge!

What is sludge? Sludge is generally the waste generated from water purification. Sludge is usually removed by processes such as sedimentation, coagulation, flocculation, chemical treatment and/or biological oxidation. This depends on the source of the water or wastewater. Regardless of its origins, sludge consists of dissolved organic and inorganic materials and suspended solids. What is […]

Real-time monitoring of the drinking water network with the pipe::scan in Beijing, China

6 Parameters monitored simultaneously from more than 20 local & external water sources  The Beijing Waterworks Group Co., Ltd. installed pipe::scan in the drinking water network of more than 5.3 million households to monitor the drinking water quality since 2017. “The pipe::scan measures total chlorine/free chlorine, color, turbidity, pH, conductivity and temperature in one system. Other organic pollution parameters like […]
