It is understandable to install water quality detectors in sewage treatment plants. The specific changes in water quality can be judged through the real-time monitoring data. Are the water quality monitoring results of sewage treatment plants really that important? Please read on for the specific situation!
The results of water quality monitoring serve as a crucial basis for environmental protection departments to supervise sewage treatment and enforce environmental laws. Moreover, they have a certain impact on the payment of service fees for sewage treatment plants, whether they operate up to standard, and monitoring. Once the relevant staff members find that the results of water quality monitoring are not up to standard, they will be subject to certain penalties. At the same time, it will have an adverse impact on the market reputation and image. If the water quality monitoring results show that the indicators exceed the standard, how should we respond?
The basis and prerequisite for using online monitoring data as the basis for environmental protection penalties is that the monitoring equipment can accurately record the water quality of the sewage and the data of various pollutant indicators. In addition, the equipment should always be in a good operational and maintenance state, and comparative monitoring should also be conducted to ensure that the online monitoring equipment can continuously and accurately record relevant data.
On-site water quality monitoring can be regarded as an important means for environmental protection departments to conduct daily supervision, spot checks and oversight over the operation of sewage treatment plants. Some qualified third-party inspection and testing institutions issue water quality monitoring reports with high probative force, but this does not mean that the water quality monitoring reports are beyond doubt. When there are errors or abnormal data in the water quality test report, the monitoring report itself is the legality and should be carefully analyzed from different perspectives such as water sample collection, preservation, and monitoring and analysis methods. When necessary, relevant departments can be requested to provide video evidence, original records, and other means for review.
In fact, it’s not just about water quality monitoring in sewage treatment plants. Besides, online monitoring of medical wastewater, drinking water, heavy metals in water, and process water is also very common!
