Trade waste monitoring keeps your business compliant and your discharge under control. EDS works with some of Australia’s largest companies to measure, sample and report on what leaves their sites.

A trade waste program usually covers flow, sampling and quality. We supply, install and service all three, so you deal with one team, not three suppliers.

For utilities, flow data also shows trade waste where it shouldn’t be. In one Queensland catchment, steady overnight flow with no rain to explain it revealed a trade waste connection wrongly tied into the sewer.

Illustration: flow, sampling and quality at one discharge point, with a logger sending the readings on for reporting.

What a program can include

  • Flow

    Discharge measured in open channels with area velocity meters, or in full pipes with Dynaflox ultrasonic and other closed channel meters.

  • Sampling

    ORI samplers certified under ATEX and IECEx, and MicroLevel composite samplers, with flow-proportional sampling where required.

  • Quality

    EDS pH, EC and turbidity sensors, and Aquamonitrix for nitrate and nitrite. In the sewer itself, Sensor Fort keeps pH and EC sensors clear of rag.

  • Data and reporting

    Readings in real time to FlowSense or your own systems, and reports for your compliance records.
