Optimization Of Water Quality In Industrial Processes

In the environmental sector, clean water refers to treated or uncontaminated sources that meet regulatory thresholds, while dirty water includes wastewater, industrial effluent, and surface water with elevated contaminant levels. Accurate monitoring of both is critical for regulatory compliance, process control, and environmental protection.

KECO analyzers are deployed across these applications to provide continuous, real-time measurement of compounds such as hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), carbon dioxide (CO₂), and total sulfur. These analyzers support effective treatment strategies, optimize operational performance, and ensure adherence to environmental discharge standards.

KECO Solutions For Clean And Wastewater Monitoring

KECO analyzers are engineered to monitor contaminants and key parameters in industrial water and wastewater streams, supporting efficient and compliant treatment.

VOC / Hydrocarbons in Water Analyzer

The KECO VOC / Hydrocarbons in Water Analyzer is built for continuous measurement of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons in industrial water and wastewater streams. It uses a heated PermaStream unit with KECO Membrane Technology to strip hydrocarbons based on Henry’s Law, eliminating errors from unstable grab samples. A metal-oxide sensor performs precise quantification, while the system avoids false positives common in UV fluorescence methods. Outputs include 4–20 mA, RS-485, and Modbus, with optional remote and web-based monitoring for real-time process control in dirty or clean water applications.

H2S in Liquids Process Analyzer

The KECO H2S in Liquids Process Analyzer provides continuous measurement of hydrogen sulfide in industrial water and opaque liquid streams, including wastewater impacted by hydrocarbons. It uses the PermaStream unit with KECO Membrane Technology to separate H2S from the liquid phase for gas-phase analysis, avoiding the complexity and maintenance issues of headspace stripping columns. The system delivers an ultra-clean, dry sample to an H2S-specific sensor, ensuring accurate, interference-free results in ppb, ppm, or percent ranges. Its simplified design offers reliable operation and reduced maintenance for demanding treatment applications.

Why KECO Analyzers Are Essential For Water Quality Management

KECO analyzers help safeguard water systems by detecting harmful contaminants before they impact treatment performance or discharge quality. Their real-time data supports faster decision-making, reduced operational downtime, and improved compliance with environmental standards.

Benefits Of KECO Analyzers In Water Treatment

  • Delivers precise measurements in harsh environments
  • Ensures long-term system reliability
  • Requires minimal calibration and manual oversight
  • Adapts to diverse water chemistries
  • Scales easily across multiple treatment stages

Advanced Technology For Water Monitoring

KECO analyzers utilize advanced PermaStream Membrane Technology to separate VOCs and H₂S from both clean and contaminated water streams, enabling precise gas-phase detection without liquid interference. This is paired with ratiometric-colorimetric tape detection for accurate, cross-interference-free sulfur analysis in complex wastewater environments. For CO₂ monitoring, NDIR sensing ensures stable, continuous measurement in aeration and effluent systems. Together, these technologies are optimized for reliable, low-maintenance performance in industrial water applications with varying contaminant loads.
