Abstract: | On behalf of a consortium of water companies and manufacturers, an electronic olfactory sensor was evaluated for its potential application to on-line analysis within the water industry. Early results are encouraging. The sensor has the ability to detect contaminants in raw water which cause taste and odour problems, such as 2,4,6-trichloroanisole and some hydrocarbons. It can also discriminate between three different raw water sources. |
