Online NDMA or Bromate Ion Analysis & Surrogate Indicator

Develop online monitoring methods for two disinfection by-products, N-nitrosodimethlyamine (NDMA) and bromate ions, that ensure membrane integrity for the removal of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs).

Key Researcher: A/Prof. Takahiro Fujioka

Novel Online NDMA Analyser

Novel instrument that can provide NDMA concentrations at ppt levels with <1 mL sample volume (Developer: Dr. Kodamatani, Kagoshima Uni., JPN). Online NDMA monitor connected to the RO feed or permeate stream can provides NDMA concentrations every <10 min.
