Yorkshire Water purchase more Ammolyt systems
Following the initial product evaluation and the subsequent order for multiple units covered in September 2004 News; Yorkshire Water has processed another order for three more Ammolyt systems to measure effluent water quality. The ammolyt is proving to be a very cost effective device to trend and alarm potential process failures.
Another Protoc TOC commissioned for Kelloggs
Kelloggs have recently installed another TOC instrument from PPM to monitor the raw effluent strength feeding a new treatment facility at their Manchester site. The Protoc 300 configured 0-7,000mg/L with automatic acid cleaning and calibration, continuously measures influent so high strength liquors can be diverted to a holding tank. Membrane sample preparation was selected to combine a fast speed of response with optimum reliability. The original Protoc system supplied in February 2003 has now been positioned on the combined final effluent discharge position.
November 2004
TOC for Columbia has been witnessed tested
Following a program of witnessed testing, PPM has now dispatched a Protoc 300 TOC analyser configured 0-100mg/L with paper band filtration system to Columbia.
Edo Spinner our local representative, won the order to supply the instrumentation to Inelectrasaca who then appointed Moody International, a worldwide quality assurance & inspectorate organisation. Moody attended PPM premises to conduct a very comprehensive witness testing program which validated the performance of the system and assured suitability for the intended industrial discharge application.

Second Oil on Water Laser for Thames water at Shalford WTW
Thames Water has placed a second order for an ODL12 laser to measure for the presence of oil on water. The detection system is to be placed at the intake for abstraction from the River Wey. A similar installation at Shalford WTW positioned on the Tillingbourne correctly identified deterioration in water quality this year when a motor vehicle had crashed into the river, upstream of the abstraction point.
UKAEA at Didcot purchase oil on water laser
An oil on water laser was purchased and delivered for an installation at the UKAEA Didcot site this month. The detection system will be installed after a treatment process to monitor treated water quality.
A G Barrs PLC, Glasgow purchases TCO monitoring
A Protoc Spyder and Web system has been ordered to monitor the soft drinks manufactures discharge to sewer. The instrument measures 0-1,000mg/L TCO and in addition to saving data locally on the touch screen controller it additionally outputs data to the site computer system so point source discharges can be monitored, investigated and minimised.

PPM Instrumentation selected for Pocklington WwTW
Vexamus contracted by Yorkshire Water at Pocklington WwTW, has just taken delivery of a package of PPM process instruments. The IQ Sensor Net system fitted with six Dissolved Oxygen sensors will control the treatment process. The ProAm ammonia monitor supplied in an engineered kiosk, will continuously measure effluent quality.
PPM delivers five final effluent monitors to Yorkshire Water
Following an extensive product evaluation, Yorkshire Water has selected PPM to supply five engineered WTW - IQ Sensor Net systems using the direct measurement Ammolyt ammonium sensor. The instrumentation has been pre-engineered into small GRP kiosks and includes automatic compressed air cleaning. The pilot scheme encompassing five sites around the York area will further assess the effectiveness of the technology as a simple, low cost effluent alarm system.

Artic Paper Company commissions Protoc Spyder & Web system
Pomeko Systems, our Polish distributor has recently commissioned a Protoc Spyder & Web analyser measuring TOC at the Artic Paper Company based near the city of Kotrzyn. The instrument is measuring raw influent into the waste water treatment works to identify peak organic loads that left unchecked could otherwise affect the treatment process and the quality of effluent discharged to the river Odra.
Columbian contractor purchases Protoc 300 TOC analyser
Edospina located in Bogotá, Columbia have placed an order for a Protoc 300 on-line TOC monitor. The analyser is to be supplied as a compliance monitor for a discharge from an industrial process to a local water course.
