Self-emptying wastewater sampler saves labour

An Aquamatic product story

There is a misconception by some companies that the introduction of a wastewater-sampling regime will require a considerable amount of labour - not so, says a wastewater sampler supplier.

According to Aquamatic, there is a misconception by some companies that the introduction of a wastewater-sampling regime will require a considerable amount of labour and record keeping.

The leading UK-based manufacturer says that just because samples may be taken every day, they do not always have to be analysed.

Furthermore, there is labour saving equipment available that will ensure that samples of a previous day's effluent can easily be provided.

Peter Smith, Aquamatic's Managing Director, explained: "If required, either when visited by the local water company or to look at a production issue, a Self-Emptying Polypropylene Bottler (SEPB) can collect daily composite samples - without the need to attend site".

He added: "Some businesses seem to be under the impression that because samples are being collected, there is then an additional chore and cost of analysis, but this isn't the case.

The beauty of the SEPB is the peace of mind that knowing that it always has the previous day's composite sample available - without any hassle".

Aquamatic's SEPB intelligently empties one of the unit's two 4.5 litre containers each morning, prior to the start of the day's sample routine - whilst the other container retains the previous day's composite sample.

The potential for blockages is averted by the sample containers' capability to tip out their own contents, and because this is accomplished with a highly vigorous scouring action, the minimal residue virtually eliminates the risk of cross contamination.

The Self-Emptying Polypropylene Bottler is just part of Aquamatic's proven product portfolio, which unlike other sampling equipment, offers a comprehensive choice of portable and stationary samplers, based around a single sampler module.
