NexSens iChart Software and iSIC Data Logger Selected for Michigan River Monitoring
Dayton, OH, January 12, 2007 - NexSens Technology was recently chosen to provide data logging equipment, software and web datacenter service to be installed at thirteen water treatment intakes along the Detroit and St. Clair Rivers in Michigan.
The real-time data will allow water utility, Local County and State of Michigan personnel to monitor the river water quality and to be notified of spills or contaminants that may enter the 93 mile stretch of river.
At the thirteen water treatment facilities, NexSens iSIC data loggers will collect data from several water quality sensing instruments including YSI 6600 V2 multi-parameter sondes, Turner Fluorometers, Inficon Hapsite GC/MS, Hach TOC analyzers.
NexSens iChart software serves as the centralized project database for data received from these instruments, and each parameter will have an alarm notification to alert officials of a possible contamination.
The project equipment evaluation and selection committee also selected NexSens' WQData 3 web datacenter service to provide a real-time interface for viewing river water data at each treatment facility and other project offices. The internet based, password-protected datacenter allows officials to view data in tables, statistical summaries, and graphs. An integral project Forum facilitates communication and information.
The Detroit and St. Clair Rivers have been under increased scrutiny lately, as many spills have been reported over the past few years and the rivers also border Canada. The goal of this US funded project is to immediately recognize river contaminants and identify the origin, so that future occurrences can be prevented.
