Using Advanced Water Quality Instrumentation to Predict and Prepare for Possible Plant Upsets ( SES1 _ 01 )
Track : Water Quality : Challenges and Research | 11:15 – 11:45 a . m . | Sponsored by Badger Meter
The Columbus Division of Water delivers clean drinking water to 1.1 million people daily and delivers over 50 billion gallons of water every year . The Dublin Road Water Plant ( DRWP ) is one of three treatment plants that the Utility operates . The DWRP treats surface water from two reservoirs and the Scioto River . This surface water can become compromised during storm events , storm water runoff from rural and urban sources contributes to elevated levels of nutrients in the surface water . Join us to learn the importance of surface water monitoring and need for controlled public outreach .
Getting it Right : Optimizing Your Source Water Coagulation Process ( SES1 _ 02 )
Track : Innovating the Future of Water | 11:15 – 11:45 a . m . | Sponsored by Hach
Coagulation is a key step in the source water treatment process in order to remove solids and natural organic matter ( NOM ) from the raw water supply , but it ’ s a difficult process to optimize . With a real time monitoring and even automated control system , operators gain greater visibility into their coagulation process and can adjust accordingly . Understand the opportunity to decrease chemical spending on coagulation , as well as the opportunity to establish far greater consistency in your water quality results as you stabilize your process .
