Most utilities deploy continuous water quality monitoring to run their plants better. The Metropolitan Sewer District of Greater Cincinnati (MSD) did that, then went further. With KETOS SHIELD running on the raw influent and the post-treatment effluent at its Little Miami facility, MSD’s industrial pretreatment team realized the same platform serving process control could answer a different question entirely: characterizing the nitrogen contribution of industrial dischargers in the collection system.
Inside the full Cincinnati MSD case study, you’ll learn:
- How dual-point SHIELD monitoring at the influent and effluent gave MSD real-time visibility into chlorine, pH, orthophosphate, and key nitrogen species
- Why effluent nitrate reads higher than influent, and what that means for attributing industrial nitrogen loads
- How continuous, timestamped data builds a defensible record for industrial pretreatment surcharge programs
- How the same platform, redirected to a new monitoring point, turns compliance monitoring into pretreatment intelligence
