For emergency response, the USEPA recommends the following parameters be analyzed:
ARSENIC
A common poison and industrial pollutant
CHLORINE
Measures the disinfection power in water
COLOR
Dissolved materials in water can cause discoloration. Testing color can provide information on the amount of organic material in the water.
PESTICIDE / NERVE AGENTS
These agents affect the central nervous system and can be life-threatening.
pH
A basic water quality parameter, indicating how acidic or basic a sample is.
TOTAL DISSOLVED SOLIDS (TDS)
TDS is used to indicate water quality and give insight to possible chemical contaminants.
TOXICITY using Chemiluminescence
Chemiluminescence is the generation of light. This method is used to check for toxins in water.
With the Hach Eclox™ Rapid Response Water Test Kit, you get all the equipment needed to analyze for these parameters, in the convenience of a rugged field test kit.
Designed to be used in the field, this easy-to–use kit weighs only 20 pounds and is comprised of various test strips, hand held meters and reagents. The Eclox has uses for both military and municipal applications:
Military
Test source waters for rapid indication of water quality
Determine by what means source water needs to be purified
Test product water to ensure effective operation of purification systems
Municipal
Rapid on-stie detection of contamination – whether accidental or intentional
Environmental monitoring
Natural disaster response – evaluate water quality following a hurricane, flood, tornado, etc
Pollution incident tracking – figure the likely source of pollutant contamination
Medium- and low voltage equipment specifiers can adopt digital twin technology to adopt a circular economy approach for sustainable, low-carbon equipment design.
Medium- and low voltage equipment manufacturers can prepare for environmental regulations now by using innovative MV switchgear design that eliminates SF6 use.
Using digital tools and apps for nearby monitoring and control increases safety and reduces arc flash hazards since electrical equipment can be operated from a safer distance....
