Marconi Applied Technology is sponsoring the School of Water Sciences forthcoming conference on sensors for water and wastewater treatment. The conference will be held at Cranfield University on Wednesday 6 September 2000.
On-line measurements are widely practised in today's water industry. Their measurements are used for monitoring, control, regulation and revenue exchange. However, the present balance shows that on-line measurements for assessing "quantity" far exceeds the number used for monitoring "quality".
This technology conference will highlight some of the recent developments in on-line monitoring, so that sudden changes in water and wastewater quality can be identified in real-time.
The event, organised by Water Sciences' Dr Richard Stuetz, has a full programme--
