Keeping it clean and cutting coagulant by 40%
The impact of zeta potential in clean water treatment has been a major breakthrough. A measurement of the net effective charge of water, it helps treatment sites predict optimal levels of coagulant dosing to ensure safe drinking water, ecosystem protection and operational efficiencies.
Nicholas Dade, Principal Scientist at South West Water talks about digiLab's tech solution: ‘It’s a constantly evolving tool - that’s a really big point for the water industry - we can have something running in the background that is constantly improving, and digiLab has been able to explain all the intricacies of their operation, how they look at the data, and what it all means.’’
Trusted interoperable technology
Our fast, scalable software-based solutions handle noisy and missing data, and our agile working ethos allow complex deployments of equipment and technology. Our tech is interoperable with proprietary and standalone systems, providing value for money through best practice and regulatory compliance.
