Hydroxyl Radical Demand Monitor

这个Engage项目将导致羟基自由基需求监测仪原型设计的发展。这一仪器将有利于使用高级氧化工艺处理各种顽固性化学污染物的水处理公用事业公司，特别是在饮用水再利用市场。在线监视器将允许公用事业公司实时调整其高级氧化系统的剂量，以解释水特性的变化。目前，由于缺乏这样的监测器，公用事业公司通常持续使用最大剂量，导致不必要的高运营成本和能源消耗。多伦多大学的申请人持有一项专利，证明了这种显示器的工作能力。在这个Engage项目中，研究人员正在与Real Tech的人员合作进行必要的研究，以采用专利的概念设计，并对其进行改进，以便为原型生产优化和实用的设计。Real Tech是设计，开发和生产与消毒和氧化系统一起工作的水质分析仪的领导者。他们将在仪器仪表方面的专业知识和市场上的商业经验方面做出巨大贡献。

This Engage project will lead to the development of the design for a prototype of a hydroxyl radical demand monitor. This instrument will benefit water treatment utilities who are using advanced oxidation processes to treat various recalcitrant chemical contaminants, in particular in the potable reuse market. The online monitor will allow the utilities to adjust the dose of their advanced oxidation system in real time to account for changes to the characteristics of the water. At present, utilities typically apply maximum doses continuously due to a lack of such a monitor, leading to unnecessarily high operating costs and energy use. The University of Toronto applicants hold a patent that has demonstrated the ability of such a monitor to work. In this Engage project, the researchers are teaming with personnel from Real Tech to conduct the necessary studies to take the conceptual design of the patent, and refine it in order to produce an optimized and practical design for a prototype.Real Tech is a leader in the design, development, and production of water quality analysers that work with disinfection and oxidation systems. They will provide a strong contribution in terms of their expertise in instrumentation and their commercial experience in the market.
