Why particle characterisation is important in water treatment

Particle characterisation is crucial for designing effective filtration and purification systems. It helps identify particle size, shape, and distribution, enabling the selection of appropriate treatment methods. Accurate characterisation ensures efficient contaminant removal, optimal chemical dosing, reduced operational costs, and compliance with water quality standards.

BET analysis

BET analysis measures surface area of adsorbents in water, optimising the selection and performance of materials for efficient contaminant removal, enhancing purification processes and ensuring water quality.

Case study

A manufacturing plant producing electronics components faced significant challenges with wastewater containing heavy metals like lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd). Traditional monitoring methods were insufficient for real-time detection and quantification of these contaminants at low concentrations, posing environmental and regulatory compliance risks.

The integration of SPR technology for real-time monitoring of heavy metal contaminants in wastewater demonstrated significant improvements in detection sensitivity, treatment efficiency, and regulatory compliance. This case study highlights the potential of SPR as a vital tool in advanced water treatment systems, ensuring environmental safety and operational efficiency.
