New explosion proof on-line water analyser launched

Tethys Instruments (France) recently introduced the UV400 ATEX - an explosion proof version of its on-line water analyser. The UV400 ATEX will be on display at the PEFTEC exhibition on stand 31. Based on UV spectroscopy, the UV400 ATEX is specially design to monitor aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), hydrogen sulphide (H2S), organic matter, ammonia (NH4) and other parameters for refineries and chemical plants in "Ex" classified areas. Maintenance and operating costs are extremely low due to an automatic cleaning system and an ultra-long lifetime lamp (over 10 years).

A thermostatic vortex cooler can be installed as an option to maintain a moderate temperature inside the enclosure for outside use with high ambient temperatures. A unique method for hydrogen sulphide and ammonia based on UV spectroscopy in the gaseous phase allows measurements without interferences on heavily charged wastewater.

The colour touch screen and intuitive interface on the instrument makes the UV400 ATX extremely user-friendly, the software is available in Chinese, English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish and Turkish.
