Monitoring Biochemical Oxygen Deman and Membrane Fouling with A-TEEM Spectroscopy

Thursday, October 17 at 2:00 p.m EDT / 11:00 a.m PDT

OVERVIEW: 

This webinar will explain how HORIBA’s patented Aqualog® with A-TEEM technology can affordably, rapidly and effectively monitor the Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) and membrane fouling components associated with municipal wastewater (WW) and WW recycling membrane processes.

It is explained that the key to measuring these parameters lies in the A-TEEM’s inner-filter effect correction that accurately quantifies the protein-like peaks which are directly associated with microbial activity, that cause oxygen depletion, and polymeric substances, that foul WW treatment membranes.  We also explain how the acquisition and analysis can be automated, scheduled and reported with ease for day-to-day operations.

What you will learn:

  • Theory and operation of simultaneous Absorbance-Transmittance fluorescence Excitation Emission Matrix (A-TEEM) spectroscopy and machine learning analysis.
  • Dissolved Organic Carbon compound chemistry and optical characteristics in wastewater.
  • Sample preparation and analysis for wastewater, including automated sampling.
  • Data analysis for WW compliance assurance and membrane process optimization in wastewater treatment.

Who should attend:

  • Waste water plant operators, designers and managers
  • Researchers specializing in WW treatment and organic carbon analysis
  • Environmentalists interested in water pollution
  • Researchers interested in WW treatment membrane technology
