On-line Zeta Potential for Water Treatment
14 Nov 2015
In this video case study, Gary Fox from Tacoma Water talks about the value that the zeta potential measurement has added to plant operations both on-line and in the lab. Installing the Zetasizer WT, from Malvern Instruments, to the water treatment process, helped make significant savings on chemicals. At Aurora Water in Colorado, United States, use of the on-line zeta potential system decreased coagulant costs by 17%, while also eliminating the needs for a rapid mixer.
