Industrial Effluent Online Monitoring with MECIE, Vietnam
Vietnam · 2024
Industrial Effluent ComplianceIndustrial Effluent

The end customer's facility had no online water-quality monitoring at all — only manual spot checks — leaving wastewater indicators unsupervised between samples, failing the new regulatory requirement for online installation, and exposing the operator to environmental penalties.

Oil-in-Water Monitoring for Saudi Arabia's Red Sea New City
Saudi Arabia · 2022
WWTP Process ControlWastewater Treatment Process

A mega-project of this scale places extreme demands on water quality data — accuracy and stability must hold over decades of operation. The wastewater treatment works required continuous online monitoring of oil content in water: a demanding measurement that has to run unattended in a harsh coastal desert environment, resist fouling, and integrate cleanly into plant process control.

Full-Line Online Monitoring of Paper-Mill Wastewater in Vietnam
Vietnam · 2024
Pulp & Paper WastewaterIndustrial Wastewater

The mill had long relied on imported instrument brands: procurement, system deployment and O&M costs were all high, and a mixed-brand fleet brought poor compatibility, fragmented after-sales and inefficient maintenance. It needed a single accountable supplier without giving up measurement performance.

Water Quality Monitoring at Sunrise Soya Foods — Canada's Largest Tofu Producer
Vancouver, Canada · 2023
Food & Beverage WastewaterIndustrial Wastewater

Tofu production is water-intensive, and process water can carry contaminants such as heavy metals and organic pollutants. Without continuous monitoring, quality risks to the product — and health risks to consumers — can go undetected. At the same time, improperly managed wastewater discharge harms the environment and exposes the company to regulatory violations and legal liability.

Five-Station Early-Warning Network for the Quchan River Basin
Shilou County, Lüliang, Shanxi, China · 2026
River Basin MonitoringSurface Water

The river basin needed continuous, automated water-quality supervision across multiple points — with the ability to warn of risks before incidents happen, not just record them afterwards. Dispersed sites demanded compact, low-maintenance stations with dependable digital sensing.

Micro Early-Warning Stations Guard River Sections in Weifang, Shandong
Weifang, Shandong, China · 2026
River Section MonitoringSurface Water

River sites demand equipment that survives outdoor conditions with minimal attention: fast water-sample exchange for truthful readings, long maintenance intervals, and simple installation without buildings or extensive infrastructure.

Standardized River-Outfall Monitoring in Gulou District, Nanjing
Nanjing, Jiangsu, China · 2026
River Outfall MonitoringSurface Water

Outfall regulation requires trustworthy, continuous data at the river points downstream of discharge outlets — monitoring COD and ammonia nitrogen where pollution would actually show up, and feeding the district's smart platform for governance decision-making.

pH Monitoring Catches Illegal Discharge at a Guangdong Industrial Park
Jiangmen, Guangdong, China · 2026
Illegal Discharge SurveillanceDrainage Network

Illegal discharge is hard to catch: it typically happens in the small hours when manual patrols cannot cover; discharge points are scattered and some enterprises use hidden pipes; and without continuous data, regulators only discover pollution after the damage is done.

Precision Monitoring for Membrane Pilot Testing at Nanjing Beihekou Plant
Nanjing, Jiangsu, China · 2026
Pilot & R&D MonitoringWastewater Treatment Process

Membrane performance calibration demands precise, time-aligned and traceable water-quality data to verify retention, anti-fouling and cleaning-recovery behavior. The pain points were acute: micro-leakage is hard to detect, and instrument drift under variable operating conditions contaminates the baseline data that the whole evaluation depends on.

Intelligent Sludge Discharge at Shanghai Bailonggang WWTP
Shanghai, China · 2026
WWTP Process ControlWastewater Treatment Process

Sludge concentration and blanket-level measurement were unreliable, so discharge relied on operator experience. Timing and volume were hard to control precisely — under-discharge, over-discharge and sludge loss all occurred, destabilizing effluent quality and pushing up running costs.

Source-Water Early Warning for a Water Plant in Xi'an Aerospace City
Xi'an, Shaanxi, China · 2026
Water Treatment Plant MonitoringMunicipal & Tap Water

The plant's raw water comes from an upstream reservoir whose quality swings constantly: sediment wash-in from rainstorms, summer algae blooms and organic-matter spikes, drought-period changes. Worse, by the time abnormal water reached the plant intake and was detected, several hours had already passed — the best window for response was gone.

Sludge Blanket Level Monitoring at Guangzhou Datansha WWTP
Guangzhou, Guangdong, China · 2026
WWTP Process ControlWastewater Treatment Process

Accurate sludge-blanket level measurement in the secondary clarifiers is the key to controlling scraper start/stop, saving energy and keeping effluent compliant — but the plant faced the industry's common pain points: strong water disturbance, sludge fouling on probes and a blurry mud-water boundary made the actual blanket thickness hard to determine, while conventional ultrasonic meters were severely disturbed by scum and bubbles, producing drifting data that could not be used as a basis for automatic control.

Full-Process Monitoring Upgrade at Fuhe Reservoir Central Water Plant
Tuanfeng, Huanggang, Hubei, China · 2024
Water Treatment Plant MonitoringMunicipal & Tap Water

The upgraded plant demanded high accuracy on difficult measurements — low-turbidity drinking water and residual chlorine among them — with instruments that integrate stably into the plant's automation system. Site conditions threw up real problems too, such as abnormal inlet flow conditions, and the schedule required fast technical response and on-site problem solving.

Nine-Station River Monitoring Network in Guangdong
Guangdong, China · 2023
River Basin MonitoringSurface Water

Protecting a whole river reach means watching many points at once, continuously — with equipment that stays stable outdoors, needs little maintenance and reports data remotely for early warning.

Buoy-Based Monitoring of the Jinghe River Basin in Tongzhou, Beijing
Tongzhou, Beijing, China · 2023
River Basin MonitoringSurface Water

The basin needed in-situ monitoring at key river sections to catch pollutant discharges and keep water quality stable — equipment that floats on the water, powers itself, and keeps working far from any utility infrastructure.

28 Downhole Monitoring Points for Ruichang's Urban Drainage Network
Ruichang, Jiangxi, China · 2023
Urban Drainage NetworkDrainage Network

Downhole environments are cramped and complex, and the city had no real-time monitoring inside the network at all. Instruments had to fit tight wells, resist the conditions, and deliver data reliably from underground.

Smart Rain-Sewage Diversion Monitoring at 30 Stormwater Wells in Nanchang
Nanchang, Jiangxi, China · 2023
Stormwater Outfall MonitoringDrainage Network

The monitoring points are numerous and sit inside stormwater wells: cramped, harsh underground spaces where installation is difficult. The system had to feed flow, level and conductivity data to the municipal smart supervision platform — with battery power and wireless transmission, since wells have neither.

Differentiated Monitoring for Huailai's Drainage-Network Renovation
Huailai, Zhangjiakou, Hebei, China · 2023
Urban Drainage NetworkDrainage Network

Old-town pipe conditions are complex, and different wells need different watches. A uniform configuration would overspend where little is needed and underserve the critical points — the scheme had to match monitoring depth to each location's actual risk.

Multi-Source Monitoring of Flood-Intercept Channels in Xiong'an New Area
Xiong'an New Area, Hebei, China · 2023
Flood Channel MonitoringDrainage Network

The combined-sewer pump station discharges under pressure, complicating system drainage; several radar level sites had unfinished civil works and power supply; and the customer needed multi-parameter water quality, multi-point level and on-site video — three data sources unified and reported to their designated platform.

Flow & Velocity Monitoring Across a City's Drainage Network
China · 2023
Urban Drainage NetworkDrainage Network

Without intelligent monitoring, the network's real operating state is invisible and abnormalities cannot be traced. The equipment had to live underground: submerged, corrosive manhole environments, battery powered, with dependable data transmission from below the street.

Advanced-Treatment Nitrate Monitoring at a Grandblue Plant in Foshan
Foshan, Guangdong, China · 2023
Process Optimization & ControlWastewater Treatment Process

Advanced denitrification only works as well as its control data: the plant must track influent nitrate at the denitrification filter in real time and keep complete process records to guide adjustment — lab data that arrives hours later cannot steer a continuously shifting biological process.

Anoxic-Zone Nitrate Monitoring at a Dalian WWTP
Dalian, Liaoning, China · 2023
Process Optimization & ControlWastewater Treatment Process

Industrial-dominated influent swings wildly and carries high concentrations of pollutants and interfering ions. Manual lab data lagged hours behind the process, preventing timely carbon-dosing optimization and putting effluent compliance at risk.

Intelligent Carbon-Source Dosing Control at a Qingdao WWTP
Qingdao, Shandong, China · 2023
Process Optimization & ControlWastewater Treatment Process

Biological denitrification needs precise nitrate readings to dose carbon source intelligently. Manual dosing is inaccurate — wasting reagent or risking total-nitrogen exceedance. Bioreactor samples also carry heavy impurities that foul instruments and demand frequent cleaning.

Effluent Total-Nitrogen Early Warning at a County WWTP in Shandong
Shandong, China · 2023
Effluent Compliance MonitoringWastewater Treatment Process

With influent swinging, denitrification needs flexible, timely control — but manual lab testing lagged hours behind. The plant could neither predict total-nitrogen exceedance nor guide carbon dosing in time, living with constant compliance risk.

Buried-Tank Effluent Monitoring at Rural Sewage Stations in Dezhou
Dezhou, Shandong, China · 2023
Rural & Township WastewaterWastewater Treatment Process

Rural sewage carries high organic and suspended-solids loads that easily foul sensor probes and skew readings. With so many dispersed sites, manual cleaning is heavy and costly — yet stable online COD monitoring of each station's effluent is exactly what supervision requires.

Membrane Process & Emergency Membrane-Tank Monitoring at Beijing Cuihu Plant
Beijing, China · 2023
Membrane Treatment MonitoringWastewater Treatment Process

Membrane backwash control demands turbidity measurement precise below 0.1 NTU — beyond the error range of ordinary turbidity meters. The emergency tank required large-batch instrumentation, and with so many measurement points, every device had to be stable and reliable to protect the membranes from fouling damage and premature replacement.

158-Instrument Package for China's Largest CASS Plant in Harbin
Harbin, Heilongjiang, China · 2023
WWTP Process ControlWastewater Treatment Process

A plant of this scale runs hundreds of process loops that must be monitored and controlled automatically: sludge concentration, dissolved oxygen, pH, levels, flows, gas flow, pressure, COD, ammonia, total phosphorus and total nitrogen all need dependable, long-life instruments — and in Harbin's severe cold, they must keep performing through harsh winters with minimal maintenance.

965 Instruments for 22 Village & Township Wastewater Plants in Fuyang
Fuyang, Anhui, China · 2023
Rural & Township WastewaterWastewater Treatment Process

Twenty-two sites are numerous and scattered. The A²O+MBR process needs sludge concentration, dissolved oxygen, pH, flow and gas-flow data to run well; but the operator cannot station experts at every village plant, so instruments must be stable, long-lived and centrally supervised.

Imported-Instrument Replacement at Hangzhou Qige WWTP (1.2 Million m³/d)
Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China · 2023
WWTP Process ControlWastewater Treatment Process

The plant's biological process leans hard on accurate MLSS, dissolved-oxygen, pH and ORP data. Replacement instruments had to match imported performance in a demanding megacity plant — and prove themselves over years, not months.

Full-Process Monitoring & Gas Safety at Panjin Liaobin WWTP
Panjin, Liaoning, China · 2023
WWTP Process ControlWastewater Treatment Process

The plant needed multi-point continuous monitoring of dissolved oxygen, sludge concentration, level, gas flow and chlorine across harsh, fouling-prone basins — while manual sampling lagged the process and could never warn of toxic-gas danger to the crew.

Full-Process Water Quality Monitoring at Zhengding Surface Water Plant
Zhengding, Hebei, China · 2023
Water Treatment Plant MonitoringMunicipal & Tap Water

A surface water plant has many treatment stages, and running them on operator experience alone leaves blind spots: filter backwash timing, sedimentation-basin sludge discharge and disinfectant dosing could not be adjusted dynamically against actual water conditions, risking off-spec finished water.

Integrated Multi-Parameter Monitoring at Changchun Water Plant
Changchun, Jilin, China · 2023
Water Treatment Plant MonitoringMunicipal & Tap Water

Monitoring points at the plant were tight on space and demanded highly integrated, easy-to-install equipment. A traditional multi-instrument stack means complex wiring and heavy maintenance, and data from scattered devices is prone to inconsistency — exactly what a compliant finished-water monitoring point cannot tolerate.

Distributed Monitoring Scheme at Baise Water Plant
Baise, Guangxi, China · 2023
Water Treatment Plant MonitoringMunicipal & Tap Water

Site conditions demanded flexible parameter selection rather than a fixed all-in-one device: integrated units come with fixed parameter sets and poor adaptability, and outdoor equipment is exposed to dust and environmental interference.

Drinking-Water Monitoring for a Coal-Mining Workforce in Inner Mongolia
Inner Mongolia, China · 2023
Self-Supply Water MonitoringMunicipal & Tap Water

With unstable source water feeding both domestic supply and the boiler room, the enterprise needed a multi-parameter watch that stays accurate in difficult water — without adding maintenance burden to a non-specialist site team.

Rural Supply Station Monitoring in Taizhou, Zhejiang
Taizhou, Zhejiang, China · 2023
Rural Drinking WaterMunicipal & Tap Water

The ceramic-membrane process needs data to guide coagulant and sodium-hypochlorite dosing: without accurate influent and effluent monitoring, dosing runs blind — wasting chemicals or risking off-spec water.

Rural Supply Station Monitoring in Wuyi County, Zhejiang
Wuyi, Zhejiang, China · 2023
Rural Drinking WaterMunicipal & Tap Water

Gravity sand filtration depends on timely coagulant dosing, and disinfection on correct sodium-hypochlorite feed. Without inlet and outlet monitoring, the station's dosing was guided by habit rather than data.

Rural Supply Station Monitoring in Pan'an County, Zhejiang
Pan'an, Zhejiang, China · 2023
Rural Drinking WaterMunicipal & Tap Water

Beyond the usual dosing-data need, this site had a practical obstacle: the water sample could not flow to the instruments by itself, so continuous sampling had to be engineered before monitoring could even begin.

Smart Secondary-Supply Monitoring for Residential Communities in Fuliang
Fuliang, Jiangxi, China · 2023
Residential Secondary SupplySecondary Water Supply

Conventional chlorine instruments need frequent electrolyte and DPD reagent replacement — unaffordable at this scale. Community pump rooms are cramped, and most devices on the market cannot measure stably down at the 0.05 mg/L national limit where secondary-supply compliance is actually judged.

Secondary-Supply Safety Monitoring at a Baoding Residential Pump Station
Baoding, Hebei, China · 2023
Residential Secondary SupplySecondary Water Supply

Secondary supply adds storage and pressurization after the municipal network, and water quality can degrade in tanks and pipes. Without online monitoring at the pump station, a quality problem would only surface at residents' taps.

Secondary-Supply Monitoring at a Printing Industrial Park in Hebei
Hebei, China · 2023
Industrial Park Secondary SupplySecondary Water Supply

At the network's far end inside the park, residual chlorine and turbidity readings run low — below the reliable range of ordinary instruments. The park needed monitoring accurate enough at low concentrations to prove its water was truly safe.

Benchmark Secondary-Supply Monitoring at Guiyang's Hanlin Xiyuan Towers
Guiyang, Guizhou, China · 2023
High-Rise Secondary SupplySecondary Water Supply

Zoned supply means small chlorine fluctuations at low range — demanding real measurement precision — while day-to-day operation falls to a property team without instrument specialists. Equipment had to be highly stable and low-maintenance, and installation had to work in a cramped underground pump house.

Full-Process AAO Monitoring at Guye WWTP, Tangshan
Tangshan, Hebei, China · 2023
Industrial Park WastewaterIndustrial Wastewater

The mixed industrial influent is complex and swings hard; the AAO process demands close tracking of DO, sludge concentration and quality parameters; and with monitoring points spread across the whole plant, a single instrument type could never fit every location. Data lag or loss directly threatens process stability and effluent compliance.

Centralized Industrial-Park WWTP Monitoring — Ningjin PPP Project
Ningjin, Xingtai, Hebei, China · 2023
Industrial Park WastewaterIndustrial Wastewater

Industrial and domestic inflows mix with wide quality swings, while the PPP contract demands accurate effluent quantity for operational settlement and discharge control. Instruments had to resist interference and run stably for years.

Full-Process Monitoring for a Health-Food Industrial Park WWTP
Guangxi, China · 2023

Landfill-Leachate Monitoring at a Waste Facility in Zaoqiang
Zaoqiang, Hengshui, Hebei, China · 2023
Landfill LeachateIndustrial Wastewater

Leachate is among the hardest waters to monitor: extremely high pollutant concentrations, complex composition and strong corrosiveness. If treatment monitoring falls short, secondary pollution of soil and groundwater follows — an environmental risk with real consequences.

Discharge-Outlet Monitoring for a Door Manufacturer in Baoding
Baoding, Hebei, China · 2023
Industrial Effluent ComplianceIndustrial Effluent

The monitoring point sits inside the factory building, so continuous, stable power supply had to be secured; the data needed to be displayed locally so staff could keep regular manual records; and the sampling had to represent the true discharge condition.

Instrument Package for a New Industrial-Park WWTP in Yantai
Yantai, Shandong, China · 2023
Industrial Park WastewaterIndustrial Wastewater

A greenfield plant needs its monitoring right the first time: precise, stable instruments across biological tanks, lift pump houses and blower rooms; dependable commissioning on a tight schedule; and after-sales support that keeps a new operation team confident.

Wuzhong, Ningxia, China · 2023
Medical WastewaterIndustrial Wastewater

Hospital wastewater comes from consulting rooms, laboratories, wards, laundries and operating theatres, carrying pathogens, viruses and chemical reagents with acute and latent transmission risks. Compliance monitoring must be continuous and trustworthy — lapses risk secondary contamination of the receiving water body.

Water Quality Monitoring for the Waterways of Universal Studios Beijing
Beijing, China · 2021
Urban Landscape WaterSurface Water

Landscape waterways in a high-traffic theme park are exposed to constant contamination pressure. Water quality must be watched continuously across multiple sections of the park, and any deterioration must be caught before it becomes visible or affects guests — manual sampling could never provide that coverage.

Emergency Residual-Chlorine Monitoring for Rural Drinking Water in Fujian
Fujian, China · 2020
Rural Drinking WaterMunicipal & Tap Water

The emergency demanded instruments that could be deployed fast, run unattended with minimal consumables, and keep chlorine measurement accurate at both ends of the rural supply network — all under pandemic restrictions on personnel movement.

Residual-Chlorine Monitoring of Medical Wastewater at a Guangxi Hospital
Guangxi, China · 2020
Medical WastewaterIndustrial Wastewater

Pandemic conditions demanded rapid deployment and rock-solid chlorine measurement in a difficult matrix: medical wastewater varies in pH and carries surfactants and organics that disturb ordinary chlorine electrodes — exactly when failure was not an option.

Full-Process Monitoring for Daqing High-Tech Zone's Linyuan WWTP
Daqing, Heilongjiang, China · 2019
WWTP Process ControlWastewater Treatment Process

The plant needed full-process monitoring — influent, every treatment stage and effluent — with data solid enough to feed the municipal and provincial environmental bureaus' supervision systems in real time. Legacy single-parameter instruments with lagging data could not support either process control or compliant reporting.

Extreme-Climate Instrumentation at Jinghe WWTP, Xinjiang
Jinghe, Xinjiang, China · 2015
WWTP Process ControlWastewater Treatment Process

Extreme temperature cycling degrades instrument accuracy and lifespan. The plant needed a full-process instrument suite — resistant to temperature difference, corrosion and clogging — to keep its A²/O process automatically controlled and its effluent stably compliant with Class 1A.

MBR+DF Nanofiltration High-Standard Reclaimed Water — Nearly 20 OriginWater Plants
Beijing & Jilin, China · 2012
Reclaimed WaterWastewater Treatment Process

Near-potable product water sets an exacting bar for monitoring: the whole process — water quality, level and flow — must be measured precisely, because membrane systems depend on real-time data to protect the membranes and hold product quality. And with nearly 20 plants, every instrument had to be uniform, reliable and maintainable across sites.

Severe-Cold Instrumentation for Heihe & Shuangliao WWTPs (−40 °C)
Heihe, Heilongjiang / Shuangliao, Jilin, China · 2011
WWTP Process ControlWastewater Treatment Process

Extreme cold freezes and disables ordinary instruments, and low-temperature brittleness causes failures precisely when continuous monitoring is most needed. Both plants required full-process monitoring — MLSS, TSS, dissolved oxygen, pH, ORP, COD, ammonia, total phosphorus, total nitrogen, BOD, level, differential level, gas flow and pressure — that simply keeps working through the long freeze.

13 Years of Stable Operation at Zhenjiashan Wastewater Treatment Plant
Zhongshan, Guangdong, China · 2009
WWTP Process ControlWastewater Treatment Process

Municipal wastewater plants are harsh workplaces for instrumentation: complex water conditions, constant quality fluctuation, and probes submerged around the clock.
