1 / 2Project Background
A rural supply station in Taizhou serves surrounding villages through a ceramic-membrane filtration process — compact, automated infrastructure that still depends on good data for its chemical dosing.
Customer Challenge
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.
The TENGINE Solution
Forty-three instrument sets were deployed across the rural supply stations: MTU high-precision turbidity analyzers on the inlet feed coagulant-dosing data, while TMS-D3000 multi-parameter analyzers with pH instruments watch the outlet — together covering the parameters that steer both coagulation and disinfection.
Implementation
Forty-three sets were installed at the rural stations' inlet and outlet points, integrated with the stations' dosing control.
Project Results
Inlet and outlet data now guides coagulant and hypochlorite dosing precisely, fitting the ceramic-membrane process — outlet water quality stays stable and rural supply safety is secured.
Related Case Studies
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.
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.
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.
