Rapid population growth and an increased awareness of health benefits associated with seafood is projected to increase the global demand for seafood 24%. The aquaculture industry will be required to fill the supply gap with an additional 20-30 million tons of seafood.

While the end result of desalination is clean and useful water, there are several aspects of the process which need to be carefully controlled and monitored so as not to negatively impact the environment. It is at these pre- and post-treatment stages where YSI instruments can provide valuable data.

YSI groundwater instruments can be used down-well or in a flow cell.  Down-well sensors can be used to take spot measurements or deployed continuously for long-term, unattended monitoring.  Flow cells are offered in various sizes, including low volume for low yield wells.  Available sensors include dissolved oxygen, level, pH, ORP, conductivity, salinity, nitrate, temperature and turbidity.

Gas Drilling – Impacts on Water Quality

“Stop the debate and let the data do the talking.”

YSI’s environmental monitoring systems can operate 24/7 to provide the “truth”--critical, real-time data on the conditions near hydrofracking sites. The systems can provide early warning for the accidental release of pollutants—or reassurance that water quality has not been affected.

Whether you conduct laboratory analysis for BOD, dissolved oxygen, pH, or conductivity, YSI lab products will make your job easier.

Integrated systems for monitoring of water quality, currents, and meteorological conditions in marine environments, coastal observing systems, and other high-current, harsh environments.

Water quality solutions designed for monitoring natural waters used as drinking water sources. Monitoring water quality in reservoirs, lakes, and impoundments before the raw water enters the plant for treatment can save you time and money later.

To keep freshwater sources of drinking water safe, public officials and managers must be prepared for large-scale events such as storms and floods. The sudden influx of swiftly moving water during these events can sweep contaminants into freshwater sources and overwhelm the storage capacity of streams, rivers, lakes, and reservoirs.

Sampling, monitoring, and logging data in surface water applications, ranging from ponds to streams and rivers to wetlands and estuaries.

Wastewater sampling and monitoring for process productivity and laboratory testing. Handheld or unattended instruments are available for spot sampling dissolved oxygen, pH, ammonium, and ORP.
