Data Loggers
Powerful Data Logger and Flexible Data Acquisition and Data Logging Systems

Monitoring Pretreatment of Liquid Waste

>> Equipment
• dataTaker 500 data logger
• pH Sensor

>> Customer Requirement
Increasingly stringent environmental regulations require manufacturers to continuously monitor and manage their effluent disposal.

>> dataTaker Solution
The dataTaker 500 collects data every 10 seconds from a number of pH and temperature sensors that are permanently installed in the pretreatment plant.

The dataTaker 500 is programmed to continuously calculate and control the quantity of caustic soda that must be added to neutralize acidity of the effluent before discharge. The data logger also raises alarms to alert engineers when effluent pH, temperature or volume exceeds license requirements.

Historic data is periodically downloaded to a PC in the factory, located one hundred and fifty meters away from the effluent disposal plant.
