Project description
Digital wastewater monitoring reduces hydrogen sulphide and the chemicals to treat it
Hydrogen sulphide is a highly toxic and smelly gas, often likened to rotten eggs, that is produced in sewage systems due to the decomposition of organic matter by anaerobic bacteria. It can be lethal to utility workers entering closed spaces and can also cause significant corrosion and loss of assets. The EU-funded H2S Analyzer project aims to bring its technology by the same name to market. Multiple analysers connected together will be able to support autonomous online and real-time detection of very small concentrations of hydrogen sulphide, ensuring that a minimal amount of chemicals are used to treat the water and keep it safe.
