The LiquID™ Station General Information:
The LiquID Station is an intelligent optical, online instrument for multi-parameter water quality monitoring in high value processes, such as water and wastewater treatment and other industrial applications. LiquID is a highly extensible, fully automated and low maintenance monitoring platform. The system is configurable to measure parameters related to organics, nitrate, ammonia, solids, common water pollutants, algae and more. Through a series of engineering innovations, the instrument provides a unique combination of broad detection capability, robustness, accuracy, and reliability, representing the new generation of online monitoring instrumentation.
For Multiple Applications
With multi-parameter capability from a single platform, LiquID is extensible to a wide range of applications:
Drinking Water Treatment and Water Security
For water treatment facilities, the primary value of LiquID is typically in event detection—in source water, within treatment processes, or in distribution networks. The broad detection capability of the LiquID hybrid monitoring methodology provides a powerful way to detect changes, both in terms of “normal” changes due to natural events and cycles as well as contamination events. The LiquID Station for Drinking Water & Environmental Monitoring is a potent event detection tool, providing water treatment managers and operators a means to detect change, characterize change and respond quickly and intelligently.
Wastewater Treatment
The LiquID Station for Wastewater is configurable to monitor BOD (as well as CBOD and COD), TSS, ammonia and combined nitrate+nitrite in a variety of matrixes from cleaned final effluent to raw influent. These parameters are measured every couple of minutes on a continuous basis, provided an unprecedented view of “the secret life of a wastewater treatment plant” that grab sampling and lab analysis can not reveal, because it is cost and time prohibitive to sample at the necessary frequency. These data provide a host of process optimization, event detection and quality assurance opportunities in the plant, adding up to greater efficiency in terms of power and chemicals along with fewer excursions.
Water Reuse
The LiquID Station is configurable with parameters for both water and wastewater treatment monitoring, making it an ideal tool for water reuse applications, which combine the processes of both. LiquID provides continuous automated monitoring of TOC down to 10 parts per billion, as well as highly sensitive UV-nitrate detection, a proprietary real-time BOD measurement, and a host of other readings to provide water reuse operators with assurance their processes meet specifications and the means to detect and diagnose problems as they arise.
Industrial Process Control and Verification
The extensibility of the LiquID Station’s multi-parameter detection and matrix correction capabilities are a boon to industrial process managers and engineers. Algorithmic correction allows the instrument to reliably function in challenging process streams such as waters that are turbid, high in organics, brackish or saline. With those features, LiquID is adaptable for new applications where attempts with other instruments have failed. The science and engineering teams at ZAPS Technologies have extensive experience with parameter development and analysis, and are available to assist in creating monitoring capability for high value applications on a custom basis.
ZAPS Technologies provides high-precision optical instrumentation and services for water quality monitoring and analysis. The company’s flagship product, the LiquID™ Station, provides multi-parameter detection and measurement capability for varied fluid systems, and is rugged enough for exposed field installations. LiquID is a versatile platform and can be installed in a wide range of applications. It excels where real-time information is valuable and broad contaminant detection capability is critical. The technology and design of LiquID originated from the invention of ZAPS Chief Science Officer Dr. Gary Klinkhammer, who has over 25 years experience in the fields of environmental monitoring and spectrometry. Dr. Klinkhammer wanted to study oceanographic conditions using a sampling device mounted on a trailer towed behind a US Navy nuclear submarine. He required automated, robust instrumentation with multi-parameter capability for this application. Unable to find satisfactory equipment, he set out to create his own and developed an innovative, novel optical platform.
