ASP-CON can be installed permanently into several different areas in the Secondary Wastewater Treatment Plant to provide feed-forward or feed-back control for plant operation and optimisation. The ASP-Con carries out several continuous measurements, and also analyses discrete batch samples of the product to give the following parameters on a frequency which the plant operator can set:

Toxicity Management
The ASP-CON achieves these measurements by a combination of mechanical and analytical methods that forms the basis of controlling the secondary treatment process. This also removes the need for manually completed tests, releasing time for other priority tasks.
The ASP-Con instrument uses an innovative system for cleaning and calibrating that extends the service interval time and the design of the sample capture process, which negates problems associated with ragging that afflicts some wastewater treatment plants.
The outcome of an ASP-Con controlled plant will be to achieve compliance for the optimum costs in energy and the reduction of significant CO2 emissions, and liberating labour for other priority tasks.
There are 3 electrode options – Ammonium and a choice of the following:-
Potassium or Nitrate
pH or ORP
