On-Line TPH Monitoring system
Trihalomethanes (THMs) are by-products formed as a result
of disinfecting water containing natural organic matter with
chlorine based disinfectants.
In anticipation of the EPA’s Stage 2 Disinfection By Product
Rule (DBPR), responsible utilities across the United States
have invested billions in capital improvements, including
organic removal (enhanced coagulation, GAC, microfiltration),
pre-oxidation (chlorine dioxide, ozone), alternative disinfection
(UV), and THM removal (GAC, aeration) technologies.
Water treatment processes must be optimized to maintain
THM production within process limits. Conservative
practice necessitates excessive treatment to ensure THM
compliance. As a result, these utilities will also spend
millions annually in additional operating expenses because
they do not currently get continuous THM measurements.
