ALAR Water Treatment and M4 Knick team up to ensure regulatory compliance in wastewater treatment
Keeping waterways free from pollution is an essential part of doing business. Compliance with effluent discharge regulations begins with responsible water management practices. Implementing an environmental stewardship program requires a clear understanding of industry practices, water pollution characteristics, chemical treatment methods, and the technology used to meet environmental and budgetary needs.
Quality Wastewater Treatment Equipment
ALAR Water Treatment LLC, an Ovivo Company, designs and builds water pollution control equipment for commercial production and manufacturing industries. ALAR Water Treatment offers the best available technology for production and manufacturing companies that need sensible, cost-effective industrial wastewater equipment solutions. These custom-built systems meet environmental discharge and disposal compliance for TSS, FOG, Heavy Metals, Insoluble BOD, and pH.
ALAR’s expansion into a wide range of industries created a need for robust pH and ORP measurement equipment. The highest demand comes from manufacturing and production factories requiring sensors capable of withstanding aggressive chemical and wastewater environments. Besides durability, most design specifications include automatic self-cleaning systems capable of reliable performance in remote locations. Therefore, most requests for these system upgrades come from concrete, food and beverage, flexographic ink, metal finishing, oilfield, and paint and coatings industries.
M4 Knick focuses on measuring pH/ORP, conductivity, and oxygen for both the industrial and municipal markets. The M4 Knick product offering includes sensors, analyzers/transmitters, portable meters, fittings, and automated systems for wastewater treatment.
At the heart of the M4 Knick solution set is Knick’s Memosens® digital technology. Memosens is a digital connection and communication protocol that improves measurement reliability, reduces in-field maintenance time, and improves overall safety conditions for the user.

A Partnership Benefiting the End-User
Since 2017, ALAR has been applying M4 Knick Sensogate and CSR 225 Retractable Holders, SE 555 pH sensors, MemoRail Modbus transmitters, and Portavo portable meters for use with their Micro-Klean™, Auto-Vac®, and Flex-O-Star® chemical delivery and sludge de-watering systems. The combined benefit to the end-user is:
- All system information is available on one HMI screen
- Automatic Sensor Cleaning
- Automatic Chemical Addition
- Highly accurate pH Adjustment
- More accurate sensor measurements using an offline calibration process
- Eliminates the influence of moisture ingress from submersion or humid environments
- Digital PLC Datalog Capabilities
- Predictive maintenance – the system continuously monitors: pH sensor wear, glass impedance, zero-point, pH slope, response time, calibration intervals
In summary, ALAR Water Treatment and M4 Knick will not only assist you in meeting your regulatory compliance requirements in wastewater treatment; we will do so with a system that is low maintenance, safe, and easy to use.
