METHOD FOR DETECTING MOVABLE WATER POLLUTION SOURCE Russian patent published in 2004 - IPC

FIELD: medical engineering; environment protection.

SUBSTANCE: method involves concurrently measuring averaged values of specific electric conductivity and pulsating specific electric conductivity values of water medium from movable carrier. The measurement results are compared with preset thresholds. The preset thresholds being violated, water samples are taken and hydrochemical analysis is carried out. Given pollutant concentration being found exceeded, the movable carrier continues traveling until it leaves the zone characterized by surpassed preset values of averaged values of specific electric conductivity and pulsating specific electric conductivity values of water medium. Then, the movable carrier is turned around and its return movement is performed. Repeated simultaneous threshold value violation of both averaged values of specific electric conductivity and pulsating specific electric conductivity values of water medium and repeatedly exceeded given pollutant concentration being observed, decision is to be taken concerning ecological pollution source availability.

EFFECT: enabled movable pollution source classification; high accuracy in determining source motion direction.
