Description: Water Quality Instrumentation
Water Quality Instrumentation
Water Quality Instrumentation provides both a theoretical explanation of how water sensors operate and a more practical discussion of how practitioners should deploy them to best effect. Readers will walk away with an enhanced understanding of the water instrumentation design, operation, and the chemistry that lies behind both, making it an invaluable resource for anyone who regularly deals with sensors—technicians and operators, researchers and engineers, and sales personnel in the water sector. The book’s accessible, comprehensive approach to water instrumentation provides both a useful reference work on sensors and a jumping off point for those interested in true expertise on the topic.

Preface
Water Quality Instrumentation
In late 2009 I purchased AquaMetrix. I had a PhD in physical chemistry and worked for years at NASA in molecular spectroscopy. Surely going from spectroscopy to electrochemistry should not be all that hard. So, what if these two fields are as close as a jet fighter is to a bicycle. They’re still categories of physical chemistry, and with the help of the internet and a few trade rags, I would...

1 Introduction
Water Quality Instrumentation
According to the World Health Organization and UNICEF, 2.2 billion people—one third of the global population—do not have access to clean drinking water (UNICEF & World Health Organization, 2019). By 2030 half of the world’s population will live without enough clean water.

5 Dissolved Oxygen
Water Quality Instrumentation
Everything discussed in the book so far has dealt with bulk properties of water. The oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) of a solution is the sum of the individual redox values of all species in the water. Likewise, the conductivity is the sum of the individual conductivities of all ionic species. The pH of a solution represents the concentration of H+ ions, but most still think of pH...

8 Advanced Electrochemical Sensors—ISEs and Voltammetry
Water Quality Instrumentation
This book has covered most of the instrumentation one is likely to find in an industrial or municipal facility that uses or treats water. Except for the optical dissolved oxygen sensor and turbidimeter, electrochemistry has been the foundation of all of them. Electrochemical measurement modalities...

9 Organic Matter
Water Quality Instrumentation
TOC (total organic carbon), BOD, COD, POC, NPOC, DOM, and NOM. Aside from consisting of three letters (with one exception), and with “O” being in the middle, these initials have one thing in common: they measure the amount of organic matter in a sample of water. All organic compounds consist of at least one carbon atom bonded to at least one hydrogen atom. Most consist of multiple C...
