Dechlorination of wastewater effluent is common practice in many wastewater treatment facilities throughout the U.S. Strongly
reducing sulfur compounds are used to eliminate chlorine residuals that might prove toxic to fish in the receiving stream.
Because residual chlorine discharge limits are often very close to zero, monitoring residual values to comply with regulations
has become very difficult, and controlling residuals at values between zero and 10 or 20 parts-per-billion is often not achievable.
To meet stringent discharge limits, the sulfite or bisulfite used for dechlorination is added in slight excess, providing a small
sulfite residual to insure complete dechlorination. ATI’s Model Q46S/66 provides operators with a reliable tool for maintaining
a small sulfite residual while reducing excess chemical consumption due to overfeed.

THEORY OF OPERATION
Because measuring the SO3
=
ion in solution is
relatively difficult, the Q46S/66 Monitor takes
a different approach to the measurement,
employing a unique gas-phase method to
continuously monitor sulfite without contact
between the sensor and the water sample.
In operation, a small amount of sample is
pumped into the system and mixed with acid.
In acidic solution, the sulfite ion is converted to
sulfur dioxide gas as follows:
Sulfite Measurement. Sulfite ion is measured
selectively by conversion to sulfur dioxide.
GasPhaseSensing. Measurement is made without
contact between sample and sensor, eliminating
the potential for sensor fouling.
ChemistryModulePowerOptions. Power options
include 115 or 230 VAC, 50/60 Hz.
ThreeControlRelays.Relays are programmable for
setpoint, deadband, and time delay.
Sample Line Cleaning. Internal sequencing and
relay system for automated sample line cleaning.
Digital Communication. Communication options
for Profibus-DP, Modbus-RTU, or Ethernet-IP.
FEATURES
Q46S/66 Sulfite Monitor
The mixed sample flows into a special chamber
where the sulfur dioxide is stripped from the
sample. A gas conditioning module prepares
the gas sample for measurement prior to
contact with a special sulfur dioxide gas sensor
designed for the system. Sensor signals are
amplified and displayed on a large-format,
backlit LCD display in the Q46S electronics unit.

Under Control
INSTALLATION
A sample inlet overflow block is provided on the bottom of
the chemistry module. Sample is connected using ¼ “ I.D.
flexibletubing,witharecommendedflowrateof5-20gallons
per hour. While the monitor uses only a small fraction of
this sample, the higher flow keeps sample delivery times to
a minimum. Excess sample simply overflows to a gravity
drain chamber requiring a ½” I.D. flexible tube.
Sulfite monitoring systems are extremely easy to operate
and maintain, with acid usage of one gallon every 25 days
at standard flow rates. Sample and acid are pumped
using long life peristaltic pump tubing that requires
replacement approximately every 6 months. Pump heads
are designed for easy tube changes, requiring about 10
minutes to replace both pump tubes. The sulfite sensor
requires no maintenance other than an occasional visual
inspection to insure that no deposits have collected due to
airborne particulates.
The gas stripping technique for monitoring sulfite in
solution provides an extremely sensitive on-line monitor.
Measurements down to low parts-per-billion can be done
easily, and zero and span stability inherent in the sensor
allow for monthly calibration cycles.
CHEMICAL SAVINGS
Maintaining a small sulfite residual in dechlorinated water has the benefit of insuring complete dechlorination. Monitoring
the concentration of this residual allows chemical feed control that can result in significant chemical cost savings.
The best way to look at potential chemical savings is to calculate the cost of each PPM of residual sulfite in a specific
volume of dechlorinated water. For simplicity, the formula uses MGD units as the specific volume and estimates chemical
cost in terms of “equivalent SO2” since bisulfite, metabisulfite, or SO2 gas could be used in a given plant.
Cost (SO2 / lb.) X Flow (MGD) X 8.34 lb./PPM X 365 days = Cost/year of 1 PPM
Using this calculation for a 7 MGD plant currently paying $0.50/lb. for bisulfite (as SO2), you get a sense of the cost of 1
PPM of excess sulfite over the year.
$0.50 x 7 x 8.34 x 365 = $10,654
Reducing the residual by 0.5 PPM would result in $5,000 per year in chemical savings for this plant.
