Introduction to Chlorine Sensors and Transmitters
Water treatment is a crucial process, especially in industries dealing with drinking water, process water, pool water, or seawater. Endress+Hauser's Chlorine Sensors and Transmitters offer reliable measurement solutions for disinfectants like chlorine and bromine. These sensors ensure water treatment adheres to regulations while preventing toxicity risks associated with high disinfectant doses.
Applications of Chlorine Sensors and Transmitters
Chlorine sensors are essential for monitoring and ensuring sufficient disinfection in critical applications like drinking water, food packaging, and pool water treatment. On the other hand, free bromine sensors find applications in seawater-related processes, fish farming, thermal spas, and cooling systems with high pH levels.
The Measurement Principles
Endress+Hauser's Amperometric measuring principle ensures accurate measurement of disinfectants. Chlorine dioxide sensors utilize a working electrode separated by a membrane to detect chlorine dioxide levels in a wide pH and temperature range. For free chlorine and free bromine measurements, the diffusion of hypochlorous acid through the membrane defines the detection process.
Benefits of Endress+Hauser's Sensors and Transmitters
Endress+Hauser provides a comprehensive range of instruments for water disinfection monitoring. From free chlorine to total chlorine, chlorine dioxide, and free bromine sensors, alongside compatible transmitters and accessories, they cater to various application needs. The flexibility in sensor installation, usage in channels or basins, and integration into flow assemblies ensures versatile and efficient disinfection monitoring solutions.
Disinfection Applications in Waterworks and Sewage Plants
The use of Endress+Hauser's disinfection monitoring panels helps optimize disinfectant dosing and simplifies installation and maintenance efforts in water and wastewater treatment facilities. These solutions are implemented in practices like ozonization in waterworks or chlorine monitoring in effluents, showcasing the practical application and benefits of these sensors and transmitters.
