Read what our users have to say about MANTECH: PECOD MT-SERIES BOD “We have been able to negotiate with the City to avoid surcharges for the moment. We have been working alongside them with sampling & testing. This allows us to establish that results sampled & tested by the City & ourselves are unbiased and true. We have heard various stories regarding situations with improper sampling and unnecessary compliance fines handed to breweries unable to check themselves. With having the peCOD on site, our business can feel more secure with the effluent parameter results determined.” – Technician, Flying Monkeys Craft Brewery, Canada “I can run peCOD in my sleep. It is a good piece of equipment. We stopped lab testing and use peCOD daily for ensuring our holding tank discharge is below our limit of 1,000ppm, in minutes. ” – Jason, Environmental Operations, Biovectra, Canada “Before having the peCOD our COD measurements last around 3 hours. The problem was that when it rains a lot the huge collecting pool below the plant is fulfilled in less than 3 hours. We did not have the time to verify if the water was polluted before it overflows. The risk was to have a polluted overflowing water rejected directly into nature. Now we can have a COD measurement within 15 minutes. So we can manage to empty the different pools on the site before it overflows if a pollution is detected. The risk of accidental pollution during storms has been reduced near to zero thanks to the peCOD. We chose the peCOD solution because it was cheaper than extend the pool size. We are also feeling more comfortable about not dealing with toxic chemicals anymore.” – Frank Lamarié, Head of Quality Control, PMC Isochem “We have been able to direct effluent flows based on PeCOD results so improve treatment outcomes, for example the CRT (Chemical retention tank) catches high conductivity effluent from the mill. We then sample it and can decide based on testing whether we feed it into the effluent system (and how quickly) or whether to reclaim it into the mill. The PeCOD is one of the parameters we look at to make this decision. ” – Kerry, Environmental Technician, Canfor Pulp Mill “The peCOD L100 unit provided similar CODcr results in minutes allowing us to make process improvements quicker.” – Associate Process Engineer, Irving Paper Limited “We received it (PeCOD)…I was able to get it up and running last week on my own. I was able to watch all the YouTube videos and read most of the manual for it. I ran a dozen samples through it last week and it looks to be running perfectly. To be honest it has outperformed our expectations. I have ran a couple samples through it that we have also sent to our local lab (accredited) to verify it’s performance, which it did against the lab using the standard SM 410.4 analysis method. This (PeCOD) will without a doubt prove to be invaluable during plant upsets where we fear steam condensate/ boiler feed water contamination from our amine gas sweetening process. This will save us hours in analysis time which is huge for an operating gas processing facility.“ – Jason, Lab Coordinator, Petrochemical Plant “All is going well with the PeCOD; our results have been pretty stable and steady. For our needs the instrument works well and results are obtained instantly (vs. 3 hours later by dichromate COD)” – Michelle-France Manuel, National Research Council Canada – Montreal “We had a successful week of peCOD testing validated against the CODcr method, and the significant improvement in our operations by the fast peCOD results convinced us to stop the 3-4 hour CODcr test, not to mention eliminating the hazardous waste” – Jason, Lab Coordinator, Liquefied Natural Gas Plant “PeCOD® is surprisingly simple to use!” – Sommer Lee, Water Treatment Process Technologist, Region of Niagara “CWRS has been experimenting with PeCOD® applications since 2011. These applications have included monitoring of wastewater in Northern communities, and source and treated drinking water monitoring. Most significantly, the PeCOD® has been able to give our group additional insight into drinking water biofiltration performance by quantifying organic matter removal across biofilters that was largely unrealized by measuring dissolved organic carbon alone. PeCOD® is now being integrated into many of our projects that require a measurement of natural organic matter.” – Centre for Water Resources Studies, Dalhousie University “I am PeCOD® user, I am happy using your product. I would like to congratulate your team for the approval of PeCOD® method in Canadian MOE. I am happy with your technical support. Thank you.” – Gunawan, Qatar Chemical Company “Since early 2017, a Massachusetts Water and Energy Testing Facility has been utilizing the On-Line MANTECH PeCOD® for detection of low levels of chemical oxygen demand in a nearby river. The automated functionality of the instrument makes it user-friendly, as it requires very little attention and operational parameters can be modified with ease. Measurement with the PeCOD® is rapid, giving accurate results, and is sensitive enough to detect the occurrence of various events. The PeCOD® provides empirical results not requiring correlation or calibration against separate laboratory techniques. It has proven to be a reliable tool and will be adopted for use in future projects.” – A Massachusetts Utility “Speed of (PeCOD® COD) results creates a more efficient process and really drives clean compliance for us which is critical.” – Ian Culverwell, General Manager of Clean Harbors Guelph Facility “Aurora Water (Aurora, CO) has been analyzing low level chemical oxygen demand (COD), at source and drinking water levels, using the photo-electrochemical PeCOD® instrument as part of Water Research Foundation Project #4555. We are excited to have a rapid method available to determine low level COD, and look forward to further understanding how the information that is gathered may help with operational decision making and treatment optimization.” – Pamela Benskin, Water Quality Analyst IV, Aurora Water (City of Aurora, CO) “Our Annacis Research Centre researchers have remarked that PeCOD® produces results very quickly, which allows them to complete research more rapidly. They have also been impressed with the fact that it doesn’t use harmful chemicals, reducing safety risks to researchers and to the environment. They have also found that the PC Titrate equipment is very effective. It gives extremely accurate results, is well designed, and works automatically, saving researcher time. We are thankful to the University of British Columbia and MANTECH for the donated equipment, and look forward to its role in advancing research in the region.” – Jeff Carmichael, Director, Annacis Research Centre “The PeCOD® is very user friendly and accurate, Though for me the best aspect of the PeCOD® is how fast the test is! This revolutionary piece of equipment is a fast but powerful way of COD analysis, giving consistent and quality results every test!” – James Bissell, Bridgnorth Aluminium “I prefer the term PeCOD wizard lol! Seriously though, it is a very straight forward machine, plus with all the reference material, it’s hard not to make it work. :D” – Thaila Riden, Organics Compliance Officer and Sustainability Champion, Beau’s All Natural Brewing Company KEEP IN TOUCH STAY IN THE LOOP Name* First Last Email* Privacy Policy | Sitemap Website Design by Intrigue Media.
