Announcing ScaleSense - Optimizing existing water treatment assets is the lowest cost path to incremental water production and reducing residual waste. However, many of the tools needed have not been developed—until now.
Richmond, BC, May 7, 2020--(T-Net)--Saltworks has announced ScaleSense: its real-time, ion-specific sensor that works on saline waters i.e. brines.
By measuring scaling species live, it enables users to optimize processes in real time as conditions change—without the need for human intervention, lab work, or guesswork.
ScaleSense Applications
With ScaleSense, it is now possible to lower capital and operational expenditure by:
"We are excited to see what other solutions people imagine as we release this novel product" said the company in a release. "We developed the ScaleSense ion sensor to work without interference from other ions. We tried other solutions, but their accuracy was inadequate for the complex waters we encountered in RO brines, cooling tower blowdown, power plant wastewater treatment, mine waters, and oil & gas."
Measure Scaling Species in the Toughest Waters
ScaleSense can measure calcium (Ca2+), barium (Ba2+) or sulfate (SO42-) ions, or silica (SiO2), real-time with repeatable accuracy. It can also measure TDS in extremely concentrated brines, where traditional conductivity meters flatline.
Check out our ScaleSense homepage to see sample use cases. We can package ScaleSense with our process engineering and control services, to enable customers to increase their plant smarts, improve recovery, uptime, data, and reduce waste.
Can you imagine a use for ScaleSense? Do you think you have incremental water "left on the table" that can be recovered? Contact us and let us figure it out.
