Case Study: The Royal Mint achieves improved effluent control and regulatory compliance with Badger Meter BlueEdge monitoring

The Royal Mint cuts effluent maintenance and runs 6 months without intervention with Badger Meter

The Royal Mint, a UK government-owned manufacturer of currency and coins, faced challenges with its industrial effluent pH control system. Highly viscous effluent caused frequent sensor fouling, unreliable readings, and poor compliance with strict environmental regulations, requiring constant maintenance. To overcome this, The Royal Mint sought a solution from Badger Meter to improve effluent quality and reduce operational intervention.

Badger Meter implemented its BlueEdge portfolio solution, specifically the Q46P pH and Q46R ORP monitors featuring an AutoClean system. This upgraded system provided a sealed reference design to prevent chemical poisoning and an automated cleaning function that significantly reduced maintenance. The results for The Royal Mint included improved productivity, reduced maintenance costs, and enhanced regulatory compliance, with the system able to run for up to six months without needing operator intervention.
