摘要:
A sample of an aqueous stream is conducted to an optical measurement device. A hydrophobic dye is added. The sample is fractionated into fractions according to particle size or mass. Fluorescence intensity values and light scattering intensity values for the fractions are measured. Fluorescence intensity values of the fractions are added together thus obtaining a sum of the fluorescence intensity values. Light scattering intensity values of the fractions are added together, thus obtaining a sum of the light scattering intensity values. A hydro-phobicity density of the particles in the sample, is calculated by dividing the sum of the fluorescence intensity values with the sum of the light scattering intensity values. A concentration of hydrophobic contaminants in the aqueous stream is monitored and controlled based on the calculated hydrophobicity density of the particles in the sample.
摘要:
In a water treatment system, a pretreatment chemical is added to water stream in a pretreatment process including a coagulation, flocculation and separation to reduce amount of dissolved and/or particulate matter in the water stream. Hydrophobic conditions in the water stream are monitored upstream or downstream from adding the pretreatment chemicals. Dosing of the pretreatment chemical to the water stream is controlled based on the monitored hydrophobic conditions. Thereby a membrane fouling in subsequent membrane filtration stage can be minimized.

A method to determine vapor phase corrosion load in paper and board manufacturing system is disclosed. The method allows optimizing oxidative biocide content in aqueous solutions, suspensions and slurries in the paper and board manufacturing system. The method is based on determination of redox values (rH) of the system during determined time period. A correlation between rH values exceeding a predetermined rH threshold values and corrosion load provides an estimate of increased or decreased corrosion load and allows timely changes to biocide dosage.

Methods and systems are disclosed for optimization of coagulation and/or flocculation in a water treatment process. According to exemplary embodiments, samples are taken from an aqueous liquid and the samples are monitored with an imaging device to capture visual data of particles dispersed or suspended in the liquid. The particles are classified into particle types based on the visual data and a particle size distribution indication is computed for each classified particle type. The particle size distribution indication is then compared to a predetermined particle size distribution value, and in response to a difference detected, dosage of at least one coagulation and/or flocculation agent in the water treatment process can be adjusted.

摘要:
The present invention concerns a method of optical measurement of an aqueous stream, and of processing the results of the measurement in order to determine the anionic charge of the stream, the method being carried out by measuring the light absorption of the stream and predicting the amount of anionic groups in the stream using a mathematical processing, such as mathematical calculations. Particularly, the method includes the steps of adding an amount of a cationic dye to the aqueous stream, measuring the light absorption spectra of the obtained dye-containing stream, and processing the obtained light absorption spectrum using said mathematical processing in order to obtain the anionic charge. The invention also concerns the use of the obtained spectrum in determining the turbidity of the stream, as well as a device suitable for use in carrying out the method.
