Water/Wastewater
A new and simple solution for cost effective, in-situ industrial and drinking water monitoring
May 24 2018
Whether for process control, compliance monitoring or early warning of quality issues, up to date water quality information is critical. It is therefore surprising that the most common solution remains the collection of grab samples, which provides intermittent information and with substantial delay. The alternative, bringing the lab to the field using wet chemical analysers, comes at very high costs.
Eijkelkamp Soil & Water’s Spectral-8 offers the solution. The Spectral-8 UV/V is spectrometer is an optical instrument for the continuous measurement of multiple parameters directly in the medium. Using full spectral information, it determines organics (COD, BOD, TOC, UV254), nitrate, turbidity, suspended solids and many more, with a single device. Advanced algorithms provide accurate and reliable readings, and eliminate interferences (such as turbidity).
This user-friendly instrument is 100% optical, needs no reagents and offers real-time results, with real time sensor technology, directly from the process, with long term stability. In-situ installation is simple and requires no pre-treatment or sampling. The small sensor probe facilitates this as well as in-pipe insertions. Operators need no consumables and the Spectral-8 requires minimal maintenance thanks largely to its automatic cleaning feature.
Spectral-8 is ideal for a wide variety of applications including wastewater treatment plants (influent, effluent and process control), industrial applications (process water, wastewater treatment), wastewater collection systems (load monitoring, corrosion protection), water reclamation, reuse and irrigation, environmental monitoring (surface water monitoring), landfill leachate monitoring, drinking water (source monitoring, process control, early warning of contaminations) and ground water management
Eijkelkamp Soil & Water’s highly robust spectrometer, which can operate in temperatures ranging from 0 - 110 ËC, is available in both stainless steel and titanium, with quartz windows and offers full spectral measurement for high specificity and compensation.
Operators can measure multiple parameters from this one device. With its variable path length, the measurement range can be adjusted to the matrix. The standard Spectral-8 is ATEX class III certified, an ATEX class II version is also available. Spectral-8 has a wide range of communication interfaces, with controller with full PLC functionality.
The Spectral-8 can be fully integrated in the Eijkelkamp Web Portal for online visualisation of measurement results and integration with the operator’s other monitoring solutions. The instrument is also capable of remote calibration and device configuration.
