The advanced treatment of sewage after the aeration basins may include a two step process of nitrification and denitrification for the removal of nitrogen. The majority of nitrogen is in the form of ammonia and can be toxic to aquatic life. Nitrifying bacteria in nitrification basins converts ammonia to nitrates, and denitrifying bacteria converts nitrates to nitrogen gas, which is removed. Dissolved oxygen (DO) is critical for nitrification and denitrification as the microorganisms consume oxygen to grow and thrive. The concentration of dissolved oxygen is measured and controlled by bubbling air or oxygen up from the bottom of the basins. The oxygen concentration must remain high enough to support the microorganisms, but feeding too much oxygen to the basin results in a costly waste of pump power.
The Rosemount 1058 Dual Channel Transmitter provides confident liquid analysis measurement in a wide range of industrial, municipal and commercial applications. It is a 4-wire powered device that provides multi-parameter liquid analysis for digital and analog sensors, including inputs from pH/ORP sensors, ISE, flow, current, conductivity sensors (contacting and toroidal), turbidity sensors and amperometric sensors (dissolved oxygen, chlorine and ozone).
The Rosemount 1056 Transmitter offers single or dual sensor input with an unrestricted choice of dual measurements, reducing the cost per loop and saving panel space. This multi-parameter liquid analysis transmitter offers a wide range of measurement choices, including differential conductivity, dual oxygen and many other combinations supporting most industrial, commercial and municipal applications. The modular design of the transmitter allows signal input boards to be field replaced making configuration changes easy.
