optek photometric analyzers help to control cost and improve efficiency in any type of water processing. Real time monitoring improves processes and quickly alerts operators to non-compliant conditions.
optek inline instruments provide vital process measurements such as turbidity, color, and suspended solids, accurately and reliably. Using optek photometers in applications like disinfectant and flocculant dose monitoring can reduce costs and chemical consumption. Simple installation, easy operation and low maintenance make optek the solid choice of water professionals everywhere.
Drinking Water
Today's Drinking Water professionals are required to comply with increasingly stringent federal and state regulations. These same professionals are typically expected to work within severe budgetary constraints. In this difficult environment, success can only be achieved by implementing strategies that optimize water disinfection and contaminant removal without exceeding MRDLs (Maximum Residual Disinfectant Levels) and MCLs (Maximum Contaminant Levels).
Achieving these goals without over-consumption of chemicals and utilities requires careful monitoring at key locations during the treatment process. optek photometric analyzers provide monitoring and control systems that help drinking water plants improve efficiency by assuring sufficient disinfectant levels and controlling unnecessary consumption of costly chemicals and utilities.

Waste Water
The rapid growth of the manufacturing industry and the associated increase in pollution has focused considerable attention on the quality of effluents and wastewater. Strict laws have been passed to establish tolerance limits for contaminants.
One major characteristic of water quality is Total Organic Carbon (TOC) level, indicating the total organic loading of wastewater in milligrams per liter (Parts Per Million). Using optek inline UV analyzers, TOC levels may readily be monitored directly in the process stream in real time.
Real time monitoring with optek inline instruments provides immediate detection of any water quality issues and allows immediate notification of any problems as they occur. This boosts efficiency, reduces costs, eases compliance and benefits the environment.
