Trade effluent consent monitoring.
Know your discharge before
it leaves the site.

Continuous monitoring of discharge against trade effluent consent conditions, including conductivity, pH and suspended solids, with an audit-ready evidence trail. The consent holder owns the limits, AQUAIOT supplies the data.

What you can’t see
is already costing you.

Reactive call-outs

Issues are flagged after damage is done, not before it starts. Every delayed alert is a cost you didn’t have to carry.

Fragmented compliance

Manual records, missed checks, and audit gaps across sites. When an inspector asks for evidence, the scramble begins.

Hidden drift

pH, chlorine, or turbidity can shift for days or weeks before anyone notices. Without real-time monitoring, you’re always reacting.

Continuous monitoring.
Instant alerts. Full audit trail.

Three connected layers that turn raw sensor data into actionable intelligence, automatically.

1. Monitor

Connected sensors stream real-time data across all parameters, 24 hours a day. Cellular and LoRaWAN telemetry with encrypted payloads.

2. Alert

Threshold breaches trigger instant SMS, email, or app notifications. Escalation rules and role-based routing ensure the right person acts.

3. Respond

Cloud dashboards give your team the data, trendlines, and records they need, instantly. Every reading logged, every action auditable.

Every parameter.
One connected system.

From standard chemistry to full-spectrum UV-Vis sensing, AQUAIOT covers every dimension of water quality your operation demands.

SPS-pH Water Quality Sensor
pH
SPS-pH Sensor

Continuous acidity and alkalinity monitoring. Detect corrosion risk, Legionella-risk conditions, and treatment performance drift.

Optimal drinking water pH: 6.5–9.5. Drift outside this range signals treatment failure or infrastructure issues.
SPS-T-SC1 Turbidity Sensor
Turbidity & Suspended Solids
SPS-T-SC1 Sensor

Detect particulate contamination, filter breakthrough, and process upsets in real time.

Turbidity spikes are often the first indicator of pipe disturbance, contamination ingress, or treatment failure.
SPS-CI Free Chlorine Sensor
Free Chlorine
SPS-CI-C Sensor

Continuous disinfection residual monitoring. Ensure treatment efficacy without manual sampling delays.

Chlorine residual below 0.1 mg/L creates microbial risk. Continuous monitoring catches drops before they become incidents.
SPS-DO Dissolved Oxygen Sensor
Dissolved Oxygen
SPS-DO Sensor

Monitor oxygen levels critical for biological process control, aeration efficiency, and environmental compliance.

Low DO in wastewater systems indicates biological stress; in distribution it can indicate contamination ingress.
SPS-EC Conductivity Sensor
Conductivity
SPS-EC Sensor

Track dissolved mineral content and detect contamination events, cross-connections, or treatment changes in real time.

Sudden conductivity changes are a rapid indicator of intrusion, saline ingress, or chemical contamination.
SPS-F Full Spectrum Water Quality Sensor
Full-Spectrum UV-Vis
SPS-F SpecSens Sensor

Specsens UV-Vis sensing at the edge. Detect organic load, humic substances, and complex contamination signatures beyond single-parameter sensors.

Full-spectrum sensing captures richer water quality signatures, ideal for source water characterisation and treatment optimisation.
SPS-Color-C Colour Sensor
Colour
SPS-Color-C Sensor

Detect apparent and true colour changes that may indicate natural organic matter, iron, manganese, or treatment by-products.

Colour is a key aesthetic and compliance parameter, continuous monitoring prevents visible discolouration events reaching consumers.
SPS-ORP Water Quality Sensor
ORP
SPS-ORP Sensor

Oxidation-reduction potential monitoring for disinfection effectiveness, redox conditions, and process control in treatment and distribution.

ORP is a direct measure of disinfection power, falling ORP values indicate that treatment residual is being depleted.

A breach you only learn about later is the expensive kind.

Trade effluent is discharged under consent conditions agreed with the receiving authority, and those conditions typically govern parameters such as pH, conductivity and suspended solids. When monitoring relies on periodic sampling, a discharge can drift outside its conditions for hours before anyone knows, leaving the operator with an exposure it could not see and could not act on in time.

AQUAIOT monitors the relevant discharge parameters continuously. The SPS-EC, SPS-pH and SPS-T-SC1 sensors profile conductivity, pH and suspended solids in line, threshold alerts fire the moment a value moves toward a consent condition, and every reading is logged into an exportable record. AQUAIOT supplies the continuous data and the evidence trail. The consent conditions and compliance responsibility remain with the operator.

  • Continuous conductivity, pH and suspended solids on the discharge
  • Threshold alerts before a value moves outside consent conditions
  • Audit-ready, exportable evidence trail of discharge quality
  • Consent conditions and responsibility stay with the operator

Trade effluent monitoring questions

What parameters does trade effluent monitoring cover?
Trade effluent consent conditions commonly govern pH, conductivity and suspended solids. AQUAIOT monitors these continuously with the SPS-pH, SPS-EC and SPS-T-SC1 sensors, in line on the discharge, with the operator setting the limits that apply.
Does AQUAIOT guarantee consent compliance?
No. The consent conditions and compliance responsibility remain with the operator and the receiving authority. AQUAIOT supplies the continuous data, threshold alerts and audit-ready records that underpin the operator’s own compliance evidence.
How does continuous monitoring reduce risk?
Periodic sampling can miss a discharge drifting outside its conditions for hours. Continuous monitoring flags the move in real time by SMS, email or app, giving the operator the chance to intervene before a short excursion becomes a recorded breach.
Can the evidence trail be exported?
Yes. Every reading is timestamped and logged, and the record is exportable for reporting to the receiving authority. The operator owns the limits and how the evidence is used; AQUAIOT supplies the continuous data behind it.
