Siltbuster’s online real-time water quality monitoring and reporting system, Clarity, offers environmental advisors and managers in the construction industry a greater level of reassurance when monitoring environmental performance remotely.

The result of 18 months of development and field trials, Clarity offers data logging of discharged water and real-time alarm notifications should the equipment detect non-compliant water passing the probes.  Data logging provides a crucial audit trail that can be used to prove site compliance to regulators, but the real time alarm notifications are vital for water management.   

Clarity by Siltbuster alerts plant operators that the system needs attention to maintain compliance with any discharge criteria in place.  Operatives can continue their work knowing that alerts will be issued should the discharge water exceed predefined limits, before the consent level has been breached, providing time to rectify any issues and prevent a possible notifiable pollution event.

Several key parameters can be logged and monitored (for both inlet and/or outlet waters), including total suspended solids, pH, flow rate, dissolved oxygen, conductivity and temperature, allowing overview of compliance on multiple sites.
