62 project references across drinking water, secondary supply, wastewater treatment, industrial wastewater and effluent compliance — each explained by background, challenge, solution, products and results.

The plant handles a large daily flow through a complex multi-stage process, requiring precise control of influent/effluent quality and process status. Water quality data must also feed the environmental regulator's system, but legacy single-parameter instruments with lagging data could not support full-process control or compliant reporting.

Municipal wastewater plants present complex conditions and fluctuating water quality. Instruments run continuously while submerged, so conventional meters age, drift and fail — driving up replacement and maintenance costs and conflicting with the need for long-term, low-maintenance operation.

Aging online instruments no longer met current pollution-source monitoring specifications. The project had a tight schedule and complex construction, requiring on-time delivery of a large instrument batch; multiple dispersed sites demanded certified, stable devices connected to a smart-water platform, plus complete installation and commissioning services.

Plant effluent discharges directly into the Wei River. As a key river outfall, it demands extremely high data accuracy, stability and continuity. Conventional supervision lacked real-time data, making dynamic outfall control and anomaly tracing impossible; the region also faces national-section quality assessments, requiring credible, traceable online data.

This benchmark South China plant treats 550,000 tons/day. Secondary-clarifier sludge level is critical to scraper control, effluent compliance and energy saving — but turbulent water, sludge adhesion and complex sludge-water interfaces make measurement hard. Conventional ultrasonic interface meters suffer from scum and bubbles, producing unreliable data that cannot drive automated scraper control.

Multiple process units (biological, sedimentation) require continuous multi-point monitoring of dissolved oxygen, sludge concentration, level, gas flow and free chlorine. Harsh conditions cause fouling and scaling; dispersed points need many instrument types working together; manual sampling lagged behind process needs, and toxic-gas leakage posed a safety risk.

The membrane process imposes strict feed/product water requirements, needing real-time monitoring of sludge concentration, pH, ORP, conductivity, level and pressure. Membrane backwashing demands extremely accurate turbidity below 0.1 NTU — beyond ordinary meters. The emergency membrane tank also needed a large batch of devices, with fouling prevention critical to membrane life and cost.

Six dispersed township plants treat village domestic sewage and must meet Beijing's stringent Class 1A discharge standard. Continuous monitoring of influent/effluent COD, ammonia nitrogen, TP, TN, turbidity and pH was required; containerized shelters limited installation space; data had to serve both regulatory reporting and A2O+MBR+ozone-carbon process control, with high integration to cut multi-site O&M.

China's largest CASS-process plant (330,000 tons/day) must meet national Class 1A. CASS relies heavily on fully automatic in-tank control, requiring many linked water-quality, level and flow instruments. Numerous points demand long-term stability, cold resistance for northern winters, and maintenance-free operation, with complete package supply.

The MBR+DF dual-membrane process produces near-potable reclaimed water, demanding precise whole-process quality, level and flow monitoring. Membrane operation depends on real-time in-tank sludge, DO and turbidity feedback to prevent fouling. Spanning nearly 20 plant projects, unified selection required highly reliable instruments suited to complex membrane conditions.

This 1.2 million tons/day A²/O plant must meet national Class 1B. Built with imported instruments, procurement and O&M costs were high. Large biological processes depend strongly on suspended-solids, DO, pH and ORP monitoring, so reliable process instruments were needed to replace imports with domestic equivalents.

Located in northwest Xinjiang with extreme day-night temperature swings, the site demands high weather resistance. The 15,000 tons/day A²/O plant must meet Class 1A, with biological, effluent and open-channel stages requiring many coordinated instrument types under harsh conditions and minimal maintenance.

In China's far-northeast, Heihe freezes for 6 months and Shuangliao 4, with winter lows of −40°C that easily disable instruments. Shuangliao uses A2O+MBR, Heihe uses CASS (50,000 tons/day); both depend heavily on multi-parameter monitoring. Ordinary meters cannot run stably in extreme cold, requiring heated protection for uninterrupted winter monitoring.

Rural sewage has high organic and suspended-solids content that easily fouls sensor probes and skews readings. With many dispersed sites, manual cleaning is heavy and costly. Stable online COD monitoring was needed to track treatment-station effluent.

22 village & township plants are numerous and dispersed. The A2O+MBR process demands high monitoring of bioreactor sludge concentration, DO, pH, product flow and aeration volume. Large numbers of reliable online instruments were needed for process control, effluent metering and precise aeration control.

Biological denitrification requires precise nitrate control for intelligent carbon dosing. Manual dosing is inaccurate, wasting reagent and risking total-nitrogen exceedance. Bioreactor samples carry heavy impurities that foul instruments, demanding frequent cleaning.

Industrial wastewater mixed into the influent caused large quality swings. Denitrification needed flexible control, but manual lab testing lagged — making it impossible to predict total-nitrogen exceedance or guide carbon dosing, creating an effluent-compliance risk.

The plant uses advanced denitrification and must track influent nitrate at the denitrification filter in real time, recording full-process data to guide adjustment and control effluent total nitrogen.

This 100,000 m³/d plant must meet Class 1A. Its influent is mainly industrial wastewater with large swings and high-concentration pollutant and ion interference. Manual lab data lagged, preventing timely carbon-dosing optimization and risking non-compliant effluent.

During the pandemic, surface-water chlorine could exceed limits and medical wastewater risked entering drinking-water sources. Conventional monitoring was single-parameter and imprecise, unable to track residual-chlorine risk at the source intake in real time or guarantee compliant, effective disinfection at the outlet — leaving rural residents' drinking-water safety exposed.

Rural drinking-water supplies are scattered and hard to supervise; conventional testing is intermittent and cannot continuously safeguard water safety at the point of delivery.
