Wastewater monitoring system
Wastewater Monitoring System (WWMS) is a system for monitoring and measuring wastewater parameters after treatment of production, processing, and trading establishments as well as industrial service factories before being discharged into the environment.
Wastewater monitoring helps to assess the efficiency of the production process and the wastewater treatment system; simultaneously, providing online data to help Appropriate authorities in facilitating inspection, controlling, closely monitoring wastewater sources from business units or enterprises operating in the area; and thence, improving management efficiency as well as making practical contributions to environmental protection.
