Why Monitor Water for Dissolved Oxygen with KETOS
Dissolved oxygen is the quantity of oxygen present in water. It’s an essential measure of water quality and an indicator of a body of water’s ability to support aquatic life. If the oxygen levels are too low, organisms will not be able to survive, which may lead to mass die-off events for fish and other wildlife. Many factors affect dissolved oxygen levels in water, including temperature, salinity, water flow, and human-induced runoff.
However, specific levels of dissolved oxygen are vital in various industrial settings. For example, water treatment plants need to measure levels and ensure they stay within a certain threshold (or risk delivered water having a bad taste or odor). Water operators must also balance dissolved oxygen levels in wastewater and sewage treatment scenarios. Too low, and the bacteria cannot break down solids. Too high, and they risk a waste of energy. Alternatively, dissolved oxygen levels must be maintained at a very low level for boilers to work to prevent corrosion, causing inefficiencies.
Dissolved oxygen is also critical regarding water supplies meant for human consumption. While high levels of dissolved oxygen are significant for drinking water (improving taste), the higher levels also cause rapid pipe corrosion. Water companies typically use the lowest levels of dissolved oxygen, working to balance safety and taste with efficiency.
Therefore, measuring dissolved oxygen and balancing levels are integral to efficient, effective operations, no matter your industry or type of water infrastructure.
