Industrial Water Monitoring

ATP monitoring of industrial process waters is similar to sanitary and potable water testing since it usually involves a simple measurement to determine if treatment is required, and if so, how effective treatment measures were at killing the microorganisms present. This can also be extended to biofilm testing. The suggested guidelines vary depending on the application, as shown below:


Process

cATP (pg/mL)

Good Control

Preventative Action Required

Corrective Action Required

Papermaking Process Water
(for product quality)

< 1,000

1,000 – 10,000

> 10,000

Papermaking Process Water (for odor control)

< 10,000

10,000 – 100,000

> 100,000

Pulp Manufacturing

< 1,000

1,000 – 10,000

> 10,000

Deposits* (biofilm)

< 10x Bulk Water ATP

10 – 100 x Bulk Water ATP

> 100x Bulk Water ATP

*Using Deposit & Surface Analysis (DSA) test kit

NOTE: Control guidelines are provided as a suggested starting point; actual control targets should be established by comparing ATP tests to process performance in each application.

When performing trending and univariate correlation analyses, it is recommended that data smoothing (moving averages) be used to remove noise. In general, select a smoothing period corresponding to a number of days between the hydraulic retention time of process being analyzed.
