Designing an Environmental Systems Analysis Laboratory for Research in Water Quality

Abstract

Research efforts in wastewater treatment plants are becoming less difficult because more automated on-line instrumentation for water quality research has become available. Instrumentation for water quality research may now be found by calling instrumentation, process control, and automation suppliers. Engineers then can integrate instruments from various manufacturers into a system which meets the monitoring needs of the research experiment. Recent advances in instrument technology, coupled with custom system integration have met the needs of contemporary WWTP research.
