Comprehensive Drinking Water Treatment Quality and Contamination Analyses with A-TEEM Spectroscopy

You are invited to register for our online workshop entitled:

Comprehensive Drinking Water Treatment Quality and Contamination Analyses with A-TEEM Spectroscopy.

Thursday, December 19th from 1:00 p.m EDT / 11:00 a.m PDT

OVERVIEW: 

Drinking water treatment faces challenges both due to infectious microorganisms in raw water and varying levels of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) from decomposed plant material from watershed sources. Disinfecting water, often with chlorine that reacts with DOC, can lead to carcinogenic disinfection byproducts (DBPs).

COURSE DESCRIPTION

This online course teaches how to use HORIBA’s A-TEEM spectroscopy to measure DOC and its composition, as well as contamination from wastewater and petroleum products. Topics include instrument calibration, sample preparation, automation options, data optimization, troubleshooting, and reporting. We will also highlight the advantages of A-TEEM over traditional methods like TOC analyzers and chromatography in terms of speed, cost, accuracy, and automation.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:

• Theory and operation of Simultaneous Absorbance-Transmittance fluorescence Excitation Emission Matrix (A-TEEM) spectroscopy.
• Drinking Water Treatment and Disinfection: Infrastructure and Chemistry.
• Optical Characterization of Dissolved Organic Carbon and Water Contaminants.
• Sample Preparation, Automation and Troubleshooting.
• Data Analysis and Reporting.

Who should attend: 

• Drinking water plant operators, laboratory staff, designers and managers
• Researchers specializing in drinking water treatment and organic carbon analysis
• Environmentalists interested in water pollution
