Chemical
Constant water
quality monitoring is critical in every liquid-related industrial process. Raw, treated and
waste water quality varies from place to place, depending on the
condition of the source water from which it is drawn, and the treatment
it receives.
The amount of chemical agent added is critical
for optimum performance. Both underdosing and overdosing of the
chemical agent affect the water quality and leads to poor performance.
Because the water characteristics and chemical agent demand are
constantly changing, it is essential to continuously monitor
electrochemistry in liquids to optimize the chemical dosage. Real-time
analysis of the water quality and the performance of a chemical agent
allows adjustment of a chemical dosage at all times, and development of
a feed optimization system.
Real-time electrochemical liquid
analysis offers a series of advantages that lead to higher OEE
including; savings of
chemicals, water, and energy; increased accuracy and detection limits; low cost of
implementation; minimizes waste and by-product formation.

Food and Beverage
Most beverages are approximately 90% water. Beverage industry
uses between 3 and 15 litres of water for each litre of beverage produced.
Water is used not only in the finished product, but also for production, washing
of the production equipment etc. Every litre of water saved in the
production process saves money and helps reduce the burden on the environment.
Freshwater
conservation, good consistent raw, treated, and potable water quality
are the main concerns of the beverage industry. Electrochemical water
monitoring technology can reduce water consumption, maximize, and ensure
the best quality of the water. Consistent monitoring plays the key role
in determining the taste of the final product, good water quality
guarantees a balanced, and a pleasant taste in any and every beverage.
Electrochemical
monitoring system can help prevent arsenic or other harmful
contaminants entering beverages,
control sugar-related problems, maintain constant taste in
beverages, and reduce freshwater use. Beverage companies can customize
water quality to meet specific requirements, control raw water quality
in real-time at the source, and
monitor treated water quality to ensure the best possible end product.

Residential Water Wells
Unlike
public drinking water systems serving many people, most private wells
do not have experts regularly checking the water's source and its
quality before it is sent to the tap. Those families who receive their
drinking water from a private well, do not know if the water is safe to
drink and what health risks they could face. Real-time water monitoring
technology can help them monitor water wells 24/7 to ensure
the constant quality and safety of their drinking water.

Bioenergy
The emerging bioenergy industry will impact local and regional water resources. Significant changes in agricultural systems, management practices, and water demands to satisfy the growing bioenergy industry have the potential to both positively and negatively affect water quality.
Water quality is a major criteria for measuring the effects of forest management for bioenergy and bio-based products on water resources. Electrochemical water management practices and real-time monitoring technologies are vital to maintain good water quality. Most experts typically incorporate constant water quality management, monitoring and analysis technologies and tools into Bioenergy management plans.
Effective water management practices combined with real-time electrochemical water monitoring technology has proven to minimize wastewater, conserve water and energy, improve OEE, boost profits, and reduce the burden on the environment.

Public Safety and Security
Chemical and biological contamination probably poses the most serious threat to the water supply. It would be impractical to contaminate source water – there is just too great a volume to achieve the necessary concentrations. However, contaminating finished water – either at small reservoirs, in water towers, or in sections of the distribution system – is feasible and could be highly destructive.
Because of this threat, electrochemical liquid monitoring technology can help operators effectively monitor, and easily track changes in water quality online in real-time. Constant monitoring replaces many traditional water safety sampling routines, and makes instant analyses and reports available 24/7.

The water quality and quantity issues will pose the greatest environmental challenges in the 21st century. Continuous electrochemical monitoring can prevent disasters, conserve freshwater, and protect the water resources in the environment. Electrochemical monitoring systems can be customized to
meet the specific needs to minimize waste, conserve freshwater, improve productivity, and protect the environment.
The electrochemical measuring, monitoring, and early warning
system places emphasis on tracking the concentration of pollutants in all liquids.
The Chena® technology (pilot programme) is the world's only single-sensor system capable of detecting many organic
and non-organic contamination as low as a few parts per million.

Pulp and Paper
On
average, pulp and paper mills consume about 50 cubic meters of freshwater per ton
of paper or pulp produced. Since the pulp and paper industry uses so much water,
and produces so much wastewater and recycling water, controlling water consumption
throughout the production process is crucial to avoid and eliminate problems, as well as conserve freshwater.
Electrochemical liquid monitoring systems have proven a great success to save water and chemicals, improve OEE (Overall Equipment Efficiency), control
the overall water quality, and reduce wastewater and pollution in the environment. Every liter of water saved in
production reduces the burden on the environment.

Mining and Minerals
Electrochemical liquid monitoring technologies is being used to measure and monitor the mining processes, slurries, circulating waters, and waste waters.
Mines are generally located in areas where water sources are limited, and the environment is very sensitive to changes. This requires the mining companies to meet very high standards in total process management, and water monitoring. Electrochemical waste water and environmental water monitoring around the mines, and every liter of water saved in the minerals production process reduces the burden on the environment.
Companies can
easily capture valuable heavy metal emissions, and prevent water
pollution in the environment by using real-time electrochemical
monitoring technology.

Oil Sands.
Oil sands are formed mainly of quartz and silicates, such as kaolinite, illite , K-feldspar, chloride, smectite and mixed layer clays.The concentration of bitumen is around 10% and the costs in oil sand processing are roughly $20 dollars per oil barrel. It is common knowledge that many silicates have good flotation properties, especially as fines, due their structure resembling that of hydrocarbons. For that reason grain size distribution and composition of water are important parameters to monitor in oil sand processing.
Main targets of electrochemistry technology within the mineral industry include:
- Continuous monitoring of ore type and changes in the ore type entering into the process.
- Providing tools for optimizing the process by determining concentrations and types of certain organic and inorganic constituents as well as their influence for example to wetting properties of components.
- Improvement in environmental protection by combining the possibilities of electrochemistry together with Chemical Engineering (process control).
The above are examples of where "theory" and practice can be united to large extend. It can be reminded that Finnish companies have tens of years industrial experience in the use of electrochemistry for process control and optimization. This experience has proven to be transferable to the mineral industry where many distinguished scientists consider us now as world leader in the field.

Life Sciences
The total human body water is 69-55%. The human body could not exist without breathing oxygen and converting it in an electrochemical process, the "respiration chain" to "energy". Biological cells exchange mass and energy across membranes by electrochemical processes under the influence of electrical potential differences.
Already the current science has proven that monitoring the body water electrochemistry is vital for understanding the wellness of a person. Life Science researchers indicate that dormant diseases like diabetes and even cancer can be detected by the electrochemistry of the body water.
