Municipal Water and Wastewater.
Smarter Monitoring & Management.

MANTECH solutions offer fast, accurate testing with safer chemistry and real-time insight to keep municipal teams compliant, efficient, and environmentally responsible.

Does Compliance Feel Complicated?

Municipal water and wastewater teams face constant pressure to protect public health, meet strict regulations, and keep treatment processes running efficiently. Traditional testing methods can be slow, complex, and rely on hazardous chemicals, making it hard to respond quickly to changing conditions. Manual workflows increase the risk of human error, create backlogs, and make it difficult to get accurate, timely data when it’s needed most.

Benefit From MANTECH Solutions

Utilities are turning to MANTECH solutions. Our automated analyzers deliver real-time insight with fast, accurate testing in the laboratory or on-line. Automated BOD and COD analysis and optimized TOC monitoring reduce manual workload, prevent errors, and streamline operations. With greener chemistry, intuitive software, and flexible configurations, municipal teams can stay compliant while confidently optimizing treatment processes.

Automated Environmental Titration and Multi-Parameter (MT Series) Analyzer

Are High Maintenance Costs Stalling Your Lab’s Efficiency?

Managing a variety of disconnected instruments is a constant operational drain. For many municipalities, the high cost of maintenance and the time spent on manual prep create a significant workflow strain. You need a reliable path to compliance that keeps up with demand, frees up analyst’s time, and minimizes/avoids complexity of multiple workstations.

Streamline Compliance with Single-Platform Analysis

The MT Series provides a streamlined, single-platform solution that allows you to consolidate multiple parameters (such as pH, alkalinity, and conductivity) into one robust system. Designed with municipalities in mind, our MT Series delivers reliable results while operating at the lowest cost per sample.

By automating essential monitoring tasks on a single station, you can maintain the high performance required for public safety while significantly reducing your facility’s operational expenses.

Automated Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) Analyzer

Are Manual Calculations Leading to Compliance Errors?

Relying on handwritten notes and complex Excel formulas is a recipe for stress, especially when it’s time for an audit. For many municipal teams, the high price of full automation feels out of reach, leaving you stuck with manual tracking that is prone to human error. You shouldn’t have to choose between a massive capital expense and the risk of a reporting mistake.

Professional BOD Tracking for Any Budget

You don’t need to spend tens of thousands on automation to modernize your lab. With MANTECH, we offer our software platform as a standalone benchtop solution. It takes over the data management, calculations, and incubation tracking that usually requires a full hardware overhaul. As a cost-effective middle ground, the result is a streamlined, professional workflow that achieves the lowest cost per sample.

Your analysts will continue their physical manual tasks while the software seamlessly manages data analysis. It’s a robust upgrade that eliminates the headache of paper trails and secures your results at a fraction of the cost. Best of all, as your facility expands, the software is already in place to scale with you.

PeCOD for COD/BOD Estimation

Is Delayed Data Hindering Real-Time Compliance?

Relying on traditional five-day BOD testing means you are often making critical treatment and discharge decisions based on outdated data. Whether you are waiting on your centralized lab or a third-party provider, this delay limits your ability to respond to changing conditions in real time. For municipal teams, this gap in information doesn’t just hinder efficiency, it creates a constant risk of missing treatment adjustments when they matter most.

Real-Time Results for Direct Plant Control

The PeCOD® analyzer puts reliable data directly into the hands of your operators and engineers, no formal chemistry training or complex calibration required. By delivering results in 10 minutes or less right at the plant, PeCOD® eliminates the wait for centralized lab data, allowing your team to stay responsive and compliant in real time.

This decentralized solution also simplifies your safety protocols by using green, salt-and-sugar-based reagents that can be safely poured down the drain. By removing hazardous chemicals like dichromate and mercury from your workflow, you eliminate expensive waste disposal and empower your team to protect your discharge compliance.

MANTECH Online (MO Series) Solutions

Is Outdated Monitoring Putting Your Compliance at Risk?

Managing multiple treatment facilities across a sprawling municipality is a logistical balancing act that manual sampling can no longer sustain. Between time spent on manual collection and the lag time in receiving results, traditional monitoring often leaves you reacting to problems after they’ve already occurred, rather than staying ahead of them.

Real-Time Data Without the Manual Labor

The MO system is designed to be directly placed within the drinking water and wastewater treatment plants, enabling on-site, real-time analysis. Instead of sending operators around the plant, the system automatically draws and analyzes samples at intervals you define. In the event of a detected spike, the platform can even pivot its own schedule, increasing frequency until your conditions stabilize.

Designed for minimal maintenance with no filtration required, the MO system sends results, alerts, and notifications via Modbus TCP to SCADA systems and/or email, allowing operators to monitor performance passively and only intervene when necessary. You get a modular, scalable solution that supports multiple parameters in a single cabinet, giving you a complete, high-resolution picture of your water quality with minimal human intervention.

PeCOD for Optimized TOC

Is Traditional TOC Missing Your NOM Blind Spots?

Managing natural organic matter (NOM) is a constant challenge, especially when traditional TOC measurements fail to show you how those organics will react with chlorine. Without real-time insight into NOM reactivity, you risk the formation of harmful disinfection by-products (DBPs) and unpleasant taste or odour issues that compromise your water quality.

Reactive Insights for Proactive Treatment

The PeCOD® analyzer provides a faster, more effective way to capture changes in NOM reactivity before they reach the chlorination stage. While traditional TOC analyzers are often costly, high-maintenance, and complex to operate, PeCOD® offers a simpler, more robust alternative that delivers real-time insights right at the plant.

By monitoring the actual reactivity of organic compounds (rather than just total carbon) your operators gain the data needed to adjust treatment immediately. This proactive approach allows your facility to reduce DBP formation, minimize taste and odour issues, and ensure the delivery of safe, high-quality drinking water to your community.

How do the MT Series systems prevent cross-contamination between samples?

The MT series prevents cross-contamination with IntelliRinse™ techology. IntelliRinse™ is beneficial because it uses real-time measurement to provide confirmation that your probes are 100% clean, eliminating chances of cross-contamination. Active IntelliRinse™ systems allows users to set user-defined values (e.g. rinse to a specific conductivity value) or to adjust the rinse intensity based on previous sample concentrations before moving to the next sample. This is beneficial as it improves the rinsing of probes/electrodes to ensure that cross-contamination does not occur even with particularly dirty or high-strength samples. There is also the option to have the final value measured during rinsing shown in a column on the results report, for a visual confirmation directly with sample results.

What is the minimum total liquid volume that can be measured for pH, conductivity and alkalinity with the MT Systems?

When using 50mL sample tubes, the minimum total volume can be as small as 6 ml using the TitraPro4 pH electrode and the MANTECH 5mm conductivity probe. This is due to the lower immersion depth of these electrodes and precise autosampler coordinate specifications. When using 125mL sample cups, the minimum total volume can be as small as 15mL.

What is the time of analysis per parameter and for multi-parameter analysis?

The timing for analysis of different parameters depends on several different factors, like the concentration of the sample and the equipment used.
