In order to ensure environmental safety and efficient use of water resources , an automatic industrial wastewater monitoring system is being introduced in Shymkent. This is the first modern project being implemented in Kazakhstan, the purpose of which is to continuously monitor the composition of wastewater from industrial enterprises around the clock and prevent harmful effects on the environment.

This system allows you to determine the BOD (biochemical oxygen demand) , COD (chemical oxygen demand) , pH level , as well as the amount of petroleum products and heavy metals in wastewater. These indicators are considered one of the most important parameters in assessing the level of water pollution.

During the project implementation, two units of automatic analyzers , one monitoring station , and an automatic wastewater analysis unit are being installed. These devices collect and analyze data in real time and can immediately detect any deviations from the norm.

Once the system is fully operational, all monitoring processes will be fully automated . The data obtained using special software will be automatically sent to the server of the water disposal operator, as well as to the relevant government agencies and enterprises that have committed violations .

This will increase the transparency of environmental control and strengthen responsibility in the use of water resources. Previously, such analyzes were carried out manually or by laboratory methods, which required a lot of time and human resources. Now, thanks to an automated system, the results are accurate, fast, and without the influence of the human factor.

In addition, another advantage of the system is the ability to operate continuously around the clock . This, in turn, paves the way for more accurate and consistent testing of wastewater quality from industrial facilities.

Automatic analyzers and monitoring stations will be installed in industrial zones and large industrial enterprises in Shymkent . This is an important step towards reducing the environmental impact of industrial production sources.

It is known that wastewater contains a high content of harmful substances, especially in industrial plants in the metallurgical, chemical and oil refining industries. Therefore, the introduction of a control system in such enterprises will make a significant contribution to ensuring environmental sustainability.

With the help of a monitoring system, each enterprise will be able to clearly see the environmental indicators of its activities and ensure that it does not exceed the limits established by law. This, in turn, will prevent fines and increase corporate responsibility for environmental protection.

An important component of the project is the work of the testing laboratory of Water Resources-Marketing LLP (SR-M) . The laboratory is currently commissioning an automatic multi-channel water quality analyzer for rapid determination of water quality.

This device can quickly determine four key indicators in wastewater:

1. Chemical oxygen demand (COD)

2. Presence of phosphates

3. Amount of ammonia

4. Presence of nitrites

These types of analysis are of particular importance in assessing the ecological quality of water. These indicators allow for an accurate assessment of the level of organic and inorganic pollution of water.

Specialists of the laboratory of "SR-M" LLP monitor the quality of wastewater around the clock using an automatic system. This contributes to improving the overall ecological situation in the city and improving the quality of life of residents.

As part of the national project for the modernization of the energy and utilities sectors of the Republic of Kazakhstan, it is planned to fully automate water quality analysis in all large and medium-sized cities in the country by 2029.

This initiative aims to raise environmental safety to a new level by digitizing the analysis of drinking water and wastewater . That is, the process of monitoring water quality will be carried out without human intervention, only through automatic sensors and intelligent programs.

This approach will allow for early detection of water quality degradation and prevention of pollution. In addition, the collected data will be included in the national environmental database and will be available in an open format. This will ensure transparency of environmental monitoring and strengthen public confidence in nature protection.

The introduction of an automatic industrial wastewater monitoring system is not only a technical innovation, but also a social step aimed at creating an environmental culture .

Today, every enterprise must be responsible for the environmental safety of its production. Through the monitoring system, enterprises not only become objects of control, but also increase their responsibility and strive to comply with environmental standards.

In addition, the introduction of automated systems will allow young specialists to gain modern knowledge and experience in the environmental field. This will give a new impetus to the development of environmental engineering, water treatment, and environmental protection in our country.

The introduction of an automatic industrial wastewater monitoring system is a new milestone in the environmental policy of the city of Shymkent and the country. This project plays an important role in environmental protection and is fully consistent with the strategy of environmentally sustainable development of Kazakhstan.

The installation of automatic analyzers and monitoring stations in urban industrial zones will make a significant contribution to pollution prevention, rational use of water resources, and the formation of a culture of compliance with environmental legislation.

This system, which will be implemented by 2029, will radically modernize the country's environmental monitoring sector and become an effective tool for maintaining the balance between nature and production .

Environmental safety is the guarantee of the country's future. And an automatic control system is a real mechanism for that safety.
