Green Bay has suffered continuous influxes of pollutants and contaminants from the Fox River due to non-point source runoff in the watershed. Deterioration of the bay’s water quality extends well into the last century, and while cleanup efforts in the bay have been successful overall, continuous monitoring of the bay is important to ecosystem management. […]
Dissolved oxygen, often abbreviated as DO, is the amount of free oxygen molecules (O2) dissolved in water. Oxygen enters the water through atmospheric diffusion, plant photosynthesis, or aeration (either natural or man-made). DO is typically represented in measurement units as percent of air saturation (%sat) and concentration in milligrams per liter (mg/L) or parts per […]
Real-Time Water Quality Measurements The YSI ODO RTU Optical Dissolved Oxygen Sensor is compatible with NexSens X-Series data loggers using the Modbus-RTU communication protocol and the RS-485 sensor interface. A pre-defined script on the X-Series data loggers can detect, log, and transmit all parameters available on the sensor. Parameter data is transmitted, in real-time, at […]
NexSens helps with dissolved oxygen monitoring systems whether you need information or help with physical setup, we have you covered.
Monitoring dissolved oxygen (DO) at hydroelectric plants is vital to the survival of aquatic organisms within the ecosystem and must be managed properly.
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and other agencies have established dissolved oxygen limits for hydropower facility operations to minimize dam impacts on the local aquatic habitats. NexSens dissolved oxygen systems offer a flexible sensor, data logging, and communications platform to monitor these levels in near real-time.
The Racine Hydroelectric Plant continually monitors dissolved oxygen in the Ohio River to ensure levels do not fall out of regulation.
