Features

  • Covers all of the basic principles of applying particle counters in water treatment
  • Provides methods for quickly interpreting and using the data generated by the system
  • Streamlines the process for selecting the best equipment for particular applications
  • Allows the plant operator, process design engineer, and system integrator to work together with a common base of understanding
  • Acts as an up-to-date, practical guide on the critical technology of particle counting
  • Focuses on data collection and integration of particle counting with other drinkingwater treatment instrumentation
  • Offers a detailed breakdown of the features of specific equipment-with complete vendor information

    • Summary

    As EPA standards for water quality have tightened in recent years, the need to more accurately assess filter performance and improve the overall treatment process has led to increased demand for the high sensitivity provided by particle counters. One particle counter can give you more data than a dozen turbidimeters-if you know how to sort through the complexity and confusion.

    Editorial Reviews

    "…much needed and long overdue…I have literally handled hundreds of customer calls which ranged through a wide gamut of difficulties and applications challenges. A great majority of these calls could have been avoided had the end user read just the first section of Mr. Broadwell's book…its appeal will span the gamut between the researcher and designing engineer to the actual day to day operator."-John Hunt, Met One, Inc.
