OREANDA-NEWS. Modern Water plc (AIM:MWG), the owner of leading water technologies for the production of fresh water and the monitoring of water quality, has through its Monitoring Division delivered that Division's single largest order, a purpose-built containerised trace metal monitoring system in the Middle East for a large multinational company. 

Key parts of the monitoring system are the two on-line OVA Dual Cell monitors which use voltammetry to precisely detect trace / heavy metals in water. The OVA Dual Cell monitors will provide the customer with real-time and accurate readings, ensuring that the concentrations of trace / heavy metals are constantly monitored to allow the customer to meet international discharge regulations. In addition to the OVA Dual Cells there are a variety of sensors to detect pH, temperature, residual chlorine and aluminum, housed in an air-conditioned container with integral sample pumps and centralised control-panel and communications. 

This marks a step-change in the Monitoring Division's activities as it will be the Group's first purpose-built unit of this kind, and one which shows Modern Water's ability to supply fully containerised monitoring systems anywhere in the world.   

Simon Humphrey, Chief Executive of Modern Water, said: "We are delighted to have delivered the monitoring station to our customer to aid them in ensuring compliance with environmental regulations."
