Bestobell Service, the service arm of Solartron Mobrey, has a new MCERTS package to help water companies meet the Environment Agency's new legislation regarding the self-monitoring of effluent flow
Bestobell Service, which operates as the service arm of measurement and control sensors manufacturer Solartron Mobrey, has launched a new MCERTS package to help water companies meet the Environment Agency's new legislation regarding the self-monitoring of effluent flow To assist compliance with The Water Resources Act 1991, the legislation "MCERTS: Self-monitoring of effluent flow" came into effect on 1 January 2004, requiring water companies to install and maintain reliable flow measurement equipment that accurately measures (to an uncertainty of +/- 8%) all daily discharges from waste water treatment sites of more than 50m3

Having been consultants to the water industry for the past eight years, Bestobell has now created its MCERTS package to help water companies ensure their facilities are compliant.
They will provide independent, product-neutral, un-biased advice on the equipment, installation, data gathering and transmission, and quality procedures.
Paul Cherry, Flow Specialist at Bestobell is the first MCERTS inspector to be appointed: "Water companies will be assessed by a third party, the MCERTS inspector, who will be required to produce a report stating whether the facility has met MCERTS standard or if additional steps need to be taken".
Reports submitted to the Environment Agency from 1 January 2004 require MCERTS validation.
The Agency hopes that better effluent flow monitoring will result in a more accurate measurement of pollutants released into the environment.
Water companies will also benefit from more detailed information that can improve the treatment process planning - resulting in increased revenue.
