Man-Tech Associates reports that its TitraSip SA (stand alone) has been tested and verified by the US Environmental Protection Agency's environmental technology verification programme
In a study of multi-parameter water quality monitors conducted in a water treatment plant setting, the TitraSip SA responded effectively to contamination events, generating accurate and defensible data.
The goal of the Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) programme is to further environmental protection by accelerating the acceptance and use of improved and cost-effective technologies.
Its aim is to provide high quality, peer-reviewed data on technology performance to those involved in the design, distribution, financing, permitting, purchase, and use of environmental technologies.
The programme evaluates the performance of innovative technologies by developing test plans that are responsive to the needs of stakeholders, conducting field or laboratory tests (as appropriate), collecting and analysing data, and preparing peer-reviewed reports.
All evaluations are conducted in accordance with rigorous quality assurance (QA) protocols.
Man-Tech's TitraSip SA water quality monitoring system, the only titration equipment in the study, was evaluated on its performance to continuously measure total chlorine, temperature, conductivity, pH, total alkalinity and turbidity in drinking water.
All parameters were analysed and calibrations were performed by the TitraSip SA, completely unattended, every day of the study.
Man-Tech Associates was the first to develop a software-based auto-titration system.
It has dedicated considerable resources towards product and applications development.
Continued innovation to meet its customers' needs has led to the development of the TitraSip SA and other systems for ion analysis, turbidity assays, BOD analysis and more.
Man-Tech's products are distributed by Mandel Scientific in Canada, Anachem in the UK, and by a network of distributors throughout the world.
