Phosphate Monitor - a Major Attraction at WWEM 2016

Nutrient levels in water resources are a major concern because of the impact on algal blooms and eutrophication. Consequently, phosphate and nitrate monitoring and treatment technologies were a key issue in the WWEM conference on priority substances. “With so much interest in phosphates, it was no surprise that we received a great deal of interest in the Hydrocycle PO4,” says Nigel Grimsley from OTT Hydrometry (UK). “This unique technology has been designed for long-term high frequency monitoring in remote locations, and can be left unattended for long periods.”

WWEM 2016 visitors were able to see the HydroCycle PO4 on two exhibition stands, and the instrument also featured in the WWEM Demonstration area and in a workshop on diffuse pollution. Nigel says: “WWEM was a fantastic success for us – we met several existing clients and received encouraging enquiries from a variety of new contacts. We also received a high level of interest in the smart rainfall, water level and telemetry solutions that featured in our workshop on the Portsmouth Flood Alleviation scheme.”
