These include Humic and Fulvic Acids that gives water a characteristic yellow color. Dissolved organics can also result in the formation of Trihalomethanes (THMs) as a by-product of chlorination. Minimal maintenance is required due to the simplicity of the monitor. Apart from periodic validation of the calibration of the monitor and annual replacement of the wiper blades, there is no need for manual intervention. The AV400 AV400 Series of monitors are designed for optimizing the performance of potable water treatment plants, providing significant cost savings and ensuring the quality of the final treated water. Calibration AV410/AV411 AV410/AV411 Single and Dual Low Range Dissolved Organics Monitors (0 to 20mg­1C) are designed for use on potable water treatment plants. In particular, they can be used to monitor the quality of the outlet from sand and carbon filters to provide a THM precursor measurement. Long term field trials have shown that maintenance demands on these applications are minimal. The monitor design ensures that the system is extremely stable and calibration needs to be performed only once or twice a year. AV420/AV422 AV420/AV422 Single and Dual High Range Dissolved Organics Monitors (0 to 100mg­1C) are specifically designed to provide surrogate color monitoring on the incoming raw water in potable water treatment plants for predictive control of the coagulant. They can also be used to detect the rise in dissolved organic carbon from algal bloom toxins in rivers and reservoirs to provide intake protection on potable water applications . AV412 AV412 Dual High and Low Range Dissolved Organics Monitor conveniently combines the high and low range measurements so that both the pre-coagulation and post sand filter samples can be monitored. The measured value is updated every 2 seconds when the lamp is flashed and is calculated from over 200 readings that are taken during the brief flash duration. This technique has demonstrated, during extensive field trials, superior sensitivity and performance when compared with traditional color measurement methods. Calibration is a simple procedure using high-quality demineralized water for zero and a suitable phthalate calibration standard to adjust the span. Installation of the Sensor A wall-mount bracket is supplied as standard to enable the flowthrough sensor to be mounted on the back-plate. Alarms Three alarms are supplied as standard. These can be configured as high or low programmable alarms or as a status alarm. Light Source The light source is monitored continuously for correct operation and is operated at a fraction of the normal frequency of the operating voltage intended by the manufacturer. Only 13% of the rated lamp life is used in 10 years. This results in a very stable light source, keeping operating costs to a minimum. Auto-Cleaning Optical cleaning is a key feature, ensuring optimum performance with the minimum of manual intervention. The cleaning interval is programmable to accommodate varying sample conditions. Turbidity Compensation In addition to the absorption measurement at 254nm, a second measurement at 400nm enables the monitor to compensate automatically for fluctuations in turbidity. The significant benefits of a straight-through system, without the need for expensive and maintenance-intensive sample filter systems, ensures long-term reliability, essential for on-line control. Reagentless Operation The monitor uses no chemical reagents during operation, reducing cost of ownership to an absolute minimum. When compared to a color monitor (the traditional method of coagulation control), the cost of ownership, together with the initial capital purchase cost, can be recovered in 2 years.

On dual-input monitors both measured parameters are displayed simultaneously. The backlit display is designed to operate in all types of environment and shows the measured parameter(s) and, on a separate 16-character display line, diagnostic and computed information. For energy conservation, the backlight can be set to switch off automatically after 60 seconds of inactivity. High Functionality as Standard The display can show inferred values, enabling the monitor to be configured to provide the information most valuable to the user. A correction factor must be provided and entered by the user to make inferred units useful. The inferred units include: · Absorbance units/meter · Color (H) · Coagulant Dose (mg/l) · TOC (mg/l) · User Defined All versions are supplied with two fully isolated current outputs as standard. Both outputs can be ranged independently on single input versions. Each one can be assigned to either sensor input on dual input versions. Backlight Can Be Set to Switch-off When Inactive Easy Access Installation Terminals Easy access to the terminations ensures rapid and costeffective installation. The wall-/pipe-mount version is designed to ensure that cable connection is simple and convenient. Ingress protection of the electronics section is retained even when the terminal compartment is opened. Three programmable relay set points are available that can also be assigned as required. Innovative features such as a power saving display and a diagnostic current output option all contribute to a low cost of ownership. AV400 AV400 Termination Chamber Makes Access Easy Dissolved Organic Display Significantly Reduced Maintenance Costs The transmitters are supplied as standard for 85 to 265V AC operation. There are no inner switches to be set. The transmitters can also be provided for 9 to 36V DC operation that reduces maintenance costs significantly by removing the need for costly, annual safety tests to ensure compliance with safety procedures. 3 Single and Dual Input Dissolved Organics Monitor AV410 AV410, AV411 AV411, AV420 AV420, AV412 AV412 and AV422 AV422 SS/AV4ORG_3 Applications There are many applications where the AV400 AV400 Dissolved Organics Monitor can be used to improve on more traditional methods of measurement and control of water quality. Benefits: Reagentless operation Automatic cleaning Surrogate Color Monitor for Coagulation Control Virtually maintenance-free Extensive field trials have established that the AV400 AV400 High Range Dissolved Organics Monitor performs well as a surrogate color monitor on applications where the major color constituents of the raw water are humic and fulvic acids. These acids are organic compounds that readily absorb at 254nm. Long lamp life Reliable and extremely cost-effective on-line control can be achieved using this compact and simple-to-install monitor.

It has been shown that monitoring the DOC (dissolved organic carbon compounds) in the raw water gives an early warning of these events so the appropriate action can be taken. The often involves the addition of powdered activated carbon at the coagulant dosing point. The water reaching the disinfection stage of the potable treatment process may contain organic compounds from any of three sources: Humic and fulvic acid breakthrough from the coagulation and filtration stage of the plant Organic compounds from the decomposition of dead algal blooms Organic compounds from industrial effluent and sewage discharges into the raw water source. These pass through the coagulation stage but can be removed by an activated carbon stage. These sources can give rise to a range of organic compounds that, if conditions are right, will react with the chlorine used for disinfection to form THMs. The organic compounds are referred to as THM precursors. THMs are recognized carcinogens, they are known to cause miscarriages, and are also linked to heart, lung, kidney, liver, and central nervous system damage. Increasing concerns over THMs have resulted in the need for advance warning of the unfavourable conditions that could encourage the development of THMs in drinking water. When used on final chlorinated water, the monitor provides advance warning of any increase in dissolved organic carbon, thereby enabling rapid corrective action to reduce the risk. Under such clean water conditions the maintenance becomes virtually zero. Many of the low-range monitors are now used for this increasingly critical application, often in conjunction with turbidity measurement. 5 Single and Dual Input Dissolved Organics Monitor AV410 AV410, AV411 AV411, AV420 AV420, AV412 AV412 and AV422 AV422 Specification SS/AV4ORG_3 Display Type General Dual 41/2-digit, 7-segment backlit LCD Sensor range (Based on potassium hydrogen phthalate calibration standards) AV410/411 AV410/411 High range 0 to 100mgl­1C 16-character, single line dot matrix Low range 0 to 20mgl­1C AV420/422 AV420/422 Information Resolution Low range Low range ±2% of reading or 0.15mgl­1 C whichever is the greater High range ±2% of reading or 0.5mgl­1 C whichever is the greater Reproducibility 0.01mgl­1 High range Linearity 0.1mgl­1 Energy saving function Backlit LCD configurable as ON or Auto Off after 60 seconds Logbook Electronic record of major events and calibration data Low range ±0.15mgl­1 C High range ±0.5mgl­1 C Inferred units Absorbance units/metre Color (°H) Real-time clock Records time for logbook and auto cleaning Diagnostics Out of sample Lamp disabled Coagulant dose (mgl­1) TOC (mgl­1) Loss of signal Electronic failure User Defined Languages Maximum current output scale expansion Low range 0 to 2mgl­1 C High range 0 to 20mgl­1 C Response time Normally three minutes for 90% step change depending on damping factor English French German Italian Spanish Lamp life Rated by the manufacturer at 1.2 x 109 flashes (10 years continuous operation at the rate of one flash at 2s intervals [typical] equates to 13.1% of the rated lamp life) Outputs Current Outputs Number of signals Internal wiper cleaning system Programmable, operation frequency 15, 30, 45 and 60 minutes 2, 4, 6, 12 and 24 hours Maximum distance between transmitter and sensor 750mm (29.5 in.) 2 fully isolated current outputs supplied as standard, configurable to one or both sensor outputs Current outputs also programmable to any value between 0 and 22mA to indicate system failure Output current 0 to10mA, 0 to 20mA or 4 to 20mA Sample Maximum load resistance 750 at 20mA Flow rate ­1 0.5 to 5l min (free of air bubbles).
