Ron Hallett, CTOPost-Globe
March 2010
Provides high quality analytical and monitoring instrumentation with a primary focus on UV photometry for the water and wastewater industry
Founded in 2004, Real Tech is based outside Toronto, Ontario and is a fast growing dynamic company with a worldwide customer base
Awarded 2009 Deloitte Technology Green 15 award
Real Tech’s development of innovative patented and patent pending core technologies solve many industry challenges with UV photometric water quality testing instrumentation
All patents relate to Real Tech’s ability to simply and effectively compensate for the instability and drift associated with volatile light sources
Technologies allow for superior reliability, accuracy, ease of use and affordability needed by industry
Technology advantages form basis for Real Tech’s current product line of cutting-edge UV254 water quality testing solutions
Includes both:
Portable Field Meters
Continuous Real TimeOnline Monitors
• Has been contaminated• Has been improperly disinfected
Most water treatment plants can’t tell which water sample…• Will create toxic by-products
UV254 can.
UV254 Technology ◦Uses UV light at 254nm wavelength to detect natural
organic matter (NOM) and other contaminants
Traditional organic testing (TOC, DOC, BOD, COD) were designed for lab use and attempts to adapt for process environments difficult as they are; expensive, complicated and time consuming
UV254 most practical, affordable and easy to measure organic test
In addition, UV254 has bias towards reactive (aromatic) organics, which are most problematic
Reactive organics are the most important predictor of harmful Disinfection By-Products (DBPs)
UV254 testing therefore better predictor of DBP’s than TOC EXAMPLE:
