Algae Monitoring System for United Utilities

United Utilities has chosen the Chelsea Technologies Group (CTG) ALGAE-Wader Pro and ALGAE-Station Pro systems for real time assessment of algae levels in water sources at WTWs. This followed a trial which successfully demonstrated the use of the TriLux fluorometer, from which these systems are based, in detecting chl-a, Phycocyanin and Phycoerythrin levels.

The CTG ALGAE-Wader Pro is a portable system which includes the Hawk handheld display and logger. The instrument displays all data in either numerical or graphical form and provides RAG thresholds.

The CTG ALGAE-Station Pro is a robust wall mounted system which includes the Watchkeeper display and logger. The Watchkeeper displays and logs all data, provides Alarm thresholds and outputs 4-20 mA for connection to SCADA type networks.

Both systems will be presented at WWEM 2016 on stand 94.
