YSI IQ SensorNet | Optimize Your Process & Reduce Operating Costs

Fri, 05 Aug 2022 09:46:23 GMT

Justin: Hello from YSI. I'm Justin King, associate product manager for the IQ SensorNet System. And in this video, I'll be sitting down with Ben Barker, our applications engineer here at YSI. I'll be asking him questions about how the IQ SensorNet System can help water and wastewater plants optimize their treatment processes as well as reduce operating costs. Ben has worked with IQ SensorNet for over five years. During this time, he's gained a lot of knowledge and experience working in the field with plant operators, integrators, and engineers. We'll also be talking about some of the application stories Ben has experienced while he's been in the field. So, how are you doing today, Ben?

Ben: I'm doing well. I'm excited to be here and I'm excited to talk about how IQ SensorNet can help solve process-related issues in wastewater treatment plants.

Justin: Awesome. So, I understand that IQ SensorNet can help plants save in a lot of different ways. For example, energy savings, chemical savings, and even in water savings. Not only that, but the system itself was designed to minimize the cost of implementation, maintenance, and expansion with its modular design.

Ben: Yeah, you're absolutely right. There's a lot of different ways IQ SensorNet that can help reduce operating costs.

Justin: So, I hear from our clients that a common way IQ SensorNet is used is to help with energy savings. Now, how exactly does analytical equipment do that?

Ben: That's correct. Plant energy costs can be expensive if not managed. For example, in a narration basin, blowers that are constantly running use a lot of energy, and all of that energy costs money. In a lot of cases, facilities are over-aerating their process to ensure their immediate compliance. By using an online DO measurement with YSI's FDO dissolved oxygen sensor, a plant can control its aeration process more efficiently by choosing a DO set point, and the blowers can be automatically adjusted based on the sensor's measurement. Take this for example. We have our FDO sensors at a facility in Montana. After installing the sensors, they found that they were over-aerating by four times what they needed. By automatically adjusting the aeration process with a DO set point, they were able to realize huge savings each month.

Justin: So, another way IQ SensorNet can help cut cost is through chemical dosing efficiency. Can you give me some examples of how this is done in a typical plant?

Ben: Yes, absolutely. Chemicals are dosed in wastewater for a variety of reasons, such as chlorine for disinfection, carbon for nitrate removal, or coagulants for phosphorus removal. They can become a large expense for a plant's operating budget. So, being as efficient as possible when dosing chemicals is a very important aspect of plant operations. With an online sensor or analyzer, plants can adjust their chemical dosing to the exact amount that they need rather than overdosing chemicals which can be expensive and cause issues. So, as an example, there is a plant in Wisconsin that is dosing aluminum sulfate to help meet at strict total phosphorus limits. Alum is a very expensive chemical, so efficiently dosing is very important to this plant. Initially, they were taking grab samples and manually adjusting the dosing pumps. This procedure had chemical costs of $10,000 a month. By adding an orthophosphate analyzer to the effluent and automating dosing control based on the analyzer's measurement, this plant was able to cut their monthly chemical costs by $1500, saving them a total of $18,000 a year.

Justin: Minimizing water loss and drinking water plants is an important aspect of day-to-day operations. Now, how is IQ SensorNet being used to keep excess water from being wasted?

Ben: IQ SensorNet can help drinking water plants save water in many different ways. For example, a drinking water plant in Pennsylvania is using IQ SensorNet's turbidity sensor in their filter system to optimize their backwash cycle. Originally, this plant would run two 20-minute rinses during their backwash cycle each day and they would waste all of the water they used. Since installing the IQ SensorNet VisoTurb, they are now able to monitor turbidity measurement and stop the rinse cycle when they reach their target turbidity, which cuts down on the rinse time and saves a lot of water in the process. On average, this plant now saves 1 million gallons of water each day.

Justin: So, we've talked about how using online sensors can save in energy, chemical, and water costs. But how can using IQ SensorNet over other sensor systems save money?

Ben: Well, I'm glad you asked that. IQ SensorNet actually has many features that allow it to be more user-friendly and cost-effective than the competition. To start, we utilize a one-cable design that carries both communication and power. This simplifies installation by minimizing cabling. So, instead of having power and communication cables running throughout the plant, we have one cable that accomplishes both. IQ SensorNet can also accept up to 20 sensors on a single system with a portable controller that can be placed anywhere in the system. This means that you only need a junction box at each measuring location instead of an expensive controller, which drastically reduces the overall cost of the system.

Justin: Well, thanks for taking the time to sit and talk with me about all the benefits that IQSensorNet can offer. I have one last question for you. Where can people find more information about IQ SensorNet?

Ben: That's easy. If you're interested in learning more about the benefits of IQSensorNet, just visit our website at ysi.com/iqsn.

Industry-Leading Online Ammonium & Nitrate ISE Sensors for Wastewater

Wed, 22 Jun 2022 08:49:35 GMT

Learn why IQ SensorNet’s ion-selective electrode sensors (ISE) are the best choice for continuously monitoring ammonium and nitrate in wastewater. With many innovative features, the YSI VARiON, AmmoLyt, and NitraLyt provide accurate and reliable measurements to monitor and control the activated sludge process.

These sensors have electrodes selected for only ammonium or nitrate ions, allowing the sensor to determine the concentration of each.

The VARiON gives operators 24/7 data for both ammonium and nitrate to monitor and control their activated sludge process. With this data, operators can see diurnal trends, troubleshoot their activated sludge process, and even directly control processes such as aeration output.

These sensors are perfect for controlling aeration, recirc pumps, or carbon dosing, and can save a lot of money in the process.

The VARiON is the most reliable, accurate, and easy-to-use ISE sensor for wastewater. It has space for four electrodes, one measuring electrode for ammonium and nitrate, a reference electrode, and then one additional electrode for a compensating measurement of either potassium or chloride.

The sensor itself is designed for the rigors of wastewater. It has a stainless steel body and is backed with a two-year warranty. Not only that, this ammonium and nitrate sensor is the first of its kind to be rated for Class I Div 2 hazardous areas, which means these sensors can now go where they couldn't before.

Now most important of all, the VARiON is easy to maintain. Cleaning is incredibly easy, which just requires periodically brushing of the electrodes or using optional air cleaning to clean the electrodes for you. Calibration is also easy as it just requires the periodic matching too a lab sample rather than using any standards. And then replacing the electrodes themselves is easy as it just requires a single tool to replace each electrode as needed rather than all at the same time.

The YSI VARiON, AmmoLyt, and NitraLyt sensors are the perfect tool for continuously monitoring wastewater ammonium and nitrate.

Tue, 20 Jan 2015 19:00:00 GMT

The YSI IQ SensorNet (http://www.ysi.com/iq) modular, continuous water quality monitoring and control system is capable of assisting many Wastewater Operators with their daily challenges. Water Resource Recovery Facilities all face new realities in their daily operations and the IQ system functions as an automated system to help eliminate costs, wasted energy, and extra time.

Follow a real operator in his scenario of how the IQ SensorNet water quality system helps with his four main issues:

1) “We already spend a fortune on energy and costs just keep rising. How can I reduce energy costs for aeration and pumping without lowering my treatment performance?

2) “Our new permit includes a compliance schedule for phosphorus. It’s another thing we have to do but we are also under pressure to keep costs down. How do I make sure that we meet the new requirements without a huge increase in the operating budget?

3) “Trying to do more with less has been a challenge. Is there low-maintenance online monitoring to cut down on the multiple grab samples we do per day freeing up staff for other important tasks? ”

4) “Planning for future needs is always tough. I need equipment that meets my needs today that my team can maintain and expand when necessary without having to buy a service contract or call in dedicated or specialized experts.”
