How to measure water quality in wastewater treatment plant controls

In our last blog post, we gave an overview of the four types of sensors most commonly used in wastewater treatment facilities. Now we want to zoom in and take a closer look at how sensors help us measure water quality in particular. Maintaining water quality is crucial, of course, because nobody wants to drink, bathe, or use … Read more

The 4 Types of Sensors used in Wastewater Treatment Controls

Sensors are the foundation of water treatment control systems.
