This document summarizes Hach's solutions for water quality monitoring in desalination plants. Hach provides rugged instrumentation to monitor various parameters throughout the desalination process, from seawater intake to post-treatment. Their solutions include analyzers for chlorine, turbidity, hydrocarbons and other parameters. Hach also offers digital management systems like Claros to remotely collect and analyze data for process control and optimization. Their global presence and experience in over 100 desalination plants worldwide positions them to be a full-service technology partner.
