Partech Instruments has become the first manufacturer to be awarded MCERTS certification for a turbidity monitoring system for effluent discharge installations. The certification provides further weight to the Partech claim to have the best range of continuous water monitors for use in the water industry. 'Partech was one of the first companies to put in place a framework for MCERTS and this has now resulted in the Company gaining MCERTS certification,' reports Sales and Marketing Director Angus Fosten: 'With a high product installed base throughout the UK and a fast-growing demand from the EU, having MCERTS will ensure that Partech maintains its strong position and continue to expand on the international front'.

The Partech 7200 Monitor and Turbi-tech 2000LS has been the UK's market leading 'Final Effluent' monitor for many years.

The combination of a highly reliable sensor, easy to use monitor and the Turbi-Tech sensor with the fully integrated self-cleaning system provides users with exceptionally low cost of ownership and high confidence in the information being gathered.

The MCERTS approved system is suitable for monitoring Turbidity in effluent discharges, river water and inlet protection applications in ranges from 0-50 to 0-500 FTU.

It can also be configured to monitor suspended solids and can be provided with a package of mounting accessories and telemetry devices to suit almost every application.

'MCERTS will be a contract tendering requirement,' says Angus Fosten.

'Most importantly, it will create a level playing field in what is becoming a very competitive market and eventually eliminate those products that are not fit for purpose'.

MCERTS certified analysers will give operators the confidence that they are using the equipment that is of the highest standard and will ensure that by doing so they are safe in the knowledge that they are meeting the criteria for safe discharge consents.

And should plant operators have any doubts about conformity and whether they fall under the IPPC scheme, they can always talk to Partech or go to the MCERTS website.
