24、describes online turbidimeter operation and maintenance for online turbidimeters used in the treatment and monitoring of municipal water supplies or in the treatment of municipal wastewater effluent or reuse applications. I.B. History. Over the past decade, significant advancements in turbidity meas

25、urement have been observed. Although todays instruments meet the same basic requirements of nephelometers, improvements in advanced electronics, ratio algorithms, techniques to eliminate stray light interference, and software have produced modern measurement technologies that are far more accurate a

26、nd stable. In addition, the new designs may have a greater dynamic range, can be used to measure samples with more complex matrices, and may help minimize the effects of typical interferences. The selection of the best turbidity instrument design will be dependent on the specific water quality. Samp

27、le composition and process requirements typically dictate the type of technology to be used. Water samples with high levels of dissolved color or absorbance may require a long wavelength (in the range of 803 nm to 890 nm) or ratio measurement. Low-turbidity water may require a more sensitive instrum

28、ent. For membrane filtration monitoring and granular media filter effluent monitoring, instru- ments that both comply with regulatory monitoring requirements and have the highest accuracy at low-turbidity levels should be used; for example, a laser nephelometer. The AWWA Standards Council approved t

29、he formation of a committee to create a standard for online instrument operation and maintenance during its March 2006 meet- ing. A chair for the new Online Monitoring Committee was selected in August 2006, and the committee held its first meeting at the Water Quality and Technology Confer- ence in

30、Denver, Colo., in November 2006. This is the first edition of ANSI/AWWA Standard C671. It was approved by the AWWA Board of Directors on Jan. 16, 2016. I.C. Acceptance. In May 1985, the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) entered into a cooperative agreement with a consortium led by NSF * Ame

31、rican National Standards Institute, 25 West 43rd Street, Fourth Floor, New York, NY 10036. Copyright 2016 American Water Works Association. All Rights Reserved.viii International (NSF*) to develop voluntary third-party consensus standards and a certification program for direct and indirect drinking

32、water additives. Other members of the original consortium included the Water Research Foundation (formerly AwwaRF) and the Conference of State Health and Environmental Managers (COSHEM). The American Water Works Association (AWWA) and the Association of State Drinking Water Administrators (ASDWA) jo

33、ined later. In the United States, authority to regulate products for use in, or in contact with, drinking water rests with individual states. Local agencies may choose to impose requirements more stringent than those required by the state. To evaluate the health effects of products and drinking wate

34、r additives from such products, state and local agencies may use various references, including 1. An advisory program formerly administered by USEPA, Office of Drinking Water, discontinued on Apr. 7, 1990. 2. Specific policies of the state or local agency. 3. Two standards developed under the direct

35、ion of NSF: NSF/ANSI 60, Drinking Water Treatment ChemicalsHealth Effects, and NSF/ANSI 61, Drinking Water System ComponentsHealth Effects. 4. Other references, including AWWA standards, Food Chemicals Codex, Water Chemicals Codex, and other standards considered appropriate by the state or local age

36、ncy. Various certification organizations may be involved in certifying products in accor- dance with NSF/ANSI 61. Individual states or local agencies have authority to accept or accredit certification organizations within their jurisdictions. Accreditation of certi- fication organizations may vary f

37、rom jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Annex A, “Toxicology Review and Evaluation Procedures,” to NSF/ANSI 61 does not stipulate a maximum allowable level (MAL) of a contaminant for substances not regulated by a USEPA final maximum contaminant level (MCL). The MALs of an unspecified list of “unregulated

38、contaminants” are based on toxicity testing guidelines (noncarcinogens) and risk characterization methodology (carcinogens). Use of Annex A procedures may not always be identical, depending on the certifier. * NSF International, 789 North Dixboro Road, Ann Arbor, MI 48105. Persons outside the United

40、nts. Users of this stan- dard should consult the appropriate state, provincial, or local agency having jurisdic- tion in order to 1. Determine additives requirements, including applicable standards. 2. Determine the status of certifications by parties offering to certify products for contact with, o

41、r treatment of, drinking water. 3. Determine current information on product certification. II. Special Issues. II.A. Information on the Application of This Standard. The online turbidimeter chosen for a particular application highly depends on the water characteristics at the point of sampling and t

42、he purpose for measuring turbidity (such as regulatory compliance, process control, or other reasons). The initial selection and purchasing of an online turbidimeter are beyond the scope of this standard. However, to successfully operate and maintain online turbidiments, it is important to determine

43、 that the water characteristics are within the range of water temperature, pH, and other parameters for which the analyzer is designed to operate. In addition, when process water streams contain solids exceeding a turbidimeters specifications, other instruments such as total suspended solids instrum

44、ents or those that measure percent transmittance should be considered. III. Use of This Standard. It is the responsibility of the user of an AWWA standard to determine that the products described in that standard are suitable for use in the particular application being considered. III.A. Purchaser O

45、ptions and Alternatives. The following items should be provided by the purchaser: 1. Standard usedthat is, ANSI/AWWA C671, Online Turbidimeter Operation and Maintenance, of latest revision. 2. Whether compliance with NSF/ANSI 60, Drinking Water Treatment ChemicalsHealth Effects, is required. III.B.

46、Modification to Standard. Any modification of the provisions, definitions, or terminology in this standard must be provided by the purchaser. I V. Major Revisions.
