Integrated samplers for water treatment plants and wastewater treatment plants

The aim of the project is to develop an in-house sampling system for automatic sampling of water treatment plants and wastewater treatment plants. This sampling system will be integrated into the control system (CS) of the relevant technology and will thus be able to respond to the variables already measured and used by the existing CS. These are mainly smaller plants of water and wastewater treatment plants where a stationary sampler is not yet installed or new installations of IPR Aqua s.r.o. As part of the development of the sampling system, a system for measuring basic physicochemical parameters (pH, temperature, ORP, turbidity) that are not integrated in the existing technology at the sampling position will also be developed, applied and verified. The major advantage is the saving of operational costs associated with the sampler travel for the installation of the mobile sampler and the possibility of immediate start-up of the sampler based on process monitoring and evaluation by the technologist based on remote management. The use of own system of monitoring of basic physicochemical parameters brings significant investment and operational savings in comparison with the costs of foreign companies operating on the market (Hach-Lange s.r.o., Enders-Hauser s.r.o., WTW s.r.o. and others), where the purchase costs of probes, transmitters and especially hourly rates of technicians are 2 - 3 times higher than the normal rates of Czech technology companies. The sampling system will take samples of both plain and trickling water, in particular according to ISO 5667-10 (757051) Water quality. Sampling. Part 10: Guidelines for wastewater sampling, but not exclusively. As the sampling system will be connected to an industrial computer (preferably a PLC - programmable logic controller), it will be possible to change the relevant sampling methodology by simply changing the software, according to local or national practices and regulations. For more on the integration of the sampler, see chapter 2.1. The developed samplers will be marketed on the Czech market, but mainly abroad, through the main beneficiary IPR Aqua s.r.o., which designs and implements treatment and purification technologies in the Czech Republic and neighbouring countries, and by using the network of business contacts of the parent company Dekonta a.s. The developed samplers will therefore be offered separately or as part of complex technologies.
