Application-Specific Industrial pH Analyser System Delivers Accuracy with Economy and Long Life

Process and plant engineers responsible for process water and wastewater treatment will find the new Application-Specific Industrial pH Analyser System from Electro-Chemical Devices (USA) is ideal for rugged industrial process and plant environments, delivering superior accuracy, flexibility, economy and long life.

Measuring pH has never been easier or more cost effective than with ECD’s intelligent plug-and-play S80 Sensors. These versatile sensors with their economical replaceable cartridges are available in 10 different application-specific pH electrode configurations to support the most popular industrial process and plant applications in water and wastewater treatment.

ECD’s 10 different pH electrode cartridges for the S80 Sensors have been developed to provide the best measurement solution to a number of common industrial applications. Users can choose from general-purpose pH electrode cartridges for water, rinse water, cooling water or wastewater. Heavy-duty pH electrode cartridges are available for high temperature cycles, slurries, abrasive fluids, sulphide resistance and fluoride resistance.

With their rugged design, ECD’s S80 Sensors are suitable for the most challenging industrial environments requiring pH measurement. For example, they are suitable in food processing operations requiring pH monitoring in non-conductive corn syrup or starch solutions. They also support electronics semiconductor fab plants that need pH sensors resistant to fluoride in wastewater treatment and recycling.

The S80 Sensors are available in a standard 0.75-inch diameter Insertion/Submersion configuration with threaded compression fittings. They can be inserted into typical pipe tees, flanges or attached to a stand pipe and immersed into a tank or ditch. 

S80 Sensors are also available in a Valve Retractable configuration, which utilises compression fittings and ball valves to facilitate insertion and retraction of the sensor into a flowing pipe or tank without shutting down the flow through the pipe or emptying the tank. The standard materials of construction are 316L stainless steel with VITON O-rings. Heavy duty materials available include Monel, Titanium, Hastelloy bodies and EPR, EXTREME and KALREZ O-rings.

Set-up couldn’t be easier than with the S80 Sensors for pH monitoring. They come pre-calibrated from the factory. When installed they convert the analog signals from their dual toroid magnetic coils into a digital protocol that allows two-way communications with ECD’s universal T80 Transmitter. The identity of the sensor, the measurement type and the serial number are stored in the sensor’s memory along with three calibration registers.

The T80 Transmitter is a single or dual channel transmitter for the measurement of pH, conductivity, resistivity, ORP, pION, dissolved oxygen and turbidity. It digitally communicates with any of ECD’s intelligent S80 Sensors, automatically configuring the transmitter’s menus and display screens to the measured parameter.
