Industrial Wastewater Monitoring for Operations Teams

The short answer

First identify where wastewater is generated, mixed, treated and discharged. Then design sampling around operating variation and retain collection, transport and analysis data with the result.

Three actions to take

  • Separate process points from the final discharge point.
  • Record sample time and production volume.
  • Link results to treatment plant settings.

Start with the real scope

First identify where wastewater is generated, mixed, treated and discharged. Then design sampling around operating variation and retain collection, transport and analysis data with the result.

  • Separate process points from the final discharge point.
  • Record sample time and production volume.

Review the points that change the decision

How to connect a sample point to production, discharge timing and chain of custody so the result can be reviewed. Record assumptions clearly and separate confirmed data from items that need checking against the official source or actual operation.

  • Record sample time and production volume.
  • Link results to treatment plant settings.

Turn the review into a usable output

Finish with an owner, version, date and follow-up indicator. This keeps the file useful after delivery and allows it to change with the activity, product or system.

  • Separate process points from the final discharge point.
  • Link results to treatment plant settings.
