All-In-One High Range Free Chlorine Analyzer For Food Rinse, Wash and Disinfection Applications

/in /by

Economical, Easy-To-Install Panel Mount System Offers Low Maintenance

 Anaheim, CA—March 20, 2017—Food processing engineers responsible for rinsing, washing and disinfecting fruits, vegetables and other disinfecting processes will find the new plug-n-play FC80 High Range Free Chlorine Analyzer from Electro-Chemical Devices (ECD) simplifies water-based disinfection while installing easily and requiring less maintenance for lower total cost-of-ownership.

The highly reliable FC80 High Range Free Chlorine Analyzer monitors free Chlorine in produce disinfection supply water, cleaning and disinfection of water supply lines, and cleaning solution water samples from 0.05 – 200 ppm Chlorine (Cl2). The FC80 is ideal for the monitoring Cl2 levels in disinfection processes to help ensure the elimination of disease-causing pathogens including E. coli, Cyclospora, Salmonella and Hepatitis.

High concentration Cl2 disinfection is utilized in a variety of food processing operations and produce packing lines.  All of these Cl2disinfection techniques, however, require the introduction of liquid or solid Cl2 into water tanks that are connected to washer or spray line systems.

According to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA), liquid chlorine and hypochlorites are generally used in the 50 to 200 ppm concentration range with a contact time of 1 to 2 minutes to sanitize produce surfaces and processing equipment. Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is the form of freely available chlorine that has the highest bactericidal activity against a broad range of microorganisms.

The FDA states that in water-based solutions, that the equilibrium between hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and the hypochlorite ion (OCl¯) is pH dependent with the concentration of HOCl increasing as pH decreases. HOCl concentration is also significantly affected by temperature, presence of organic matter, light, air, and metals.  

The plug-n-play FC80 High Range Free Chlorine Analyzer installs quickly right out of the box.  The FC80’s advanced panel mount design includes built-in flow control, which eliminates the need for complicated pressure regulators and rotometers.  Built-in automatic pH compensation also eliminates the need for expensive reagents to reduce maintenance and life-cycle costs.

The FC80’s panel mount design incorporates a constant head flow control device, a pH sensor, a Cl2 sensor and ECD’s T80 analyzer/transmitter conveniently mounted on a PVC panel. Connect the sample/drain lines, outputs and power and it is ready to use. Calibration and standardization is accomplished by DPD comparison.

Free Cl2 exists in solution as a pH dependent ratio of hypochlorous acid (~100% at pH 5) and hypochlorite ion (~100% at pH 10). The ECD T80 free Cl2 sensor measures only the hypochlorous acid component of the free Cl2 and the analyzer calculates the balance using either the measured pH or a user defined fixed value. The use of the pH sensor provides accurate compensation for samples between pH 6 and pH 9 eliminating the need for expensive sample conditioning systems.

The FC80 Analyzer is available with either 110-240 VAC or 24 VDC power.  Parameters can be graphically displayed with user defined line, bar or gauge style graphs. The standard configuration has two 4-20 mA outputs/MODBUS RTU, and three SPDT relays. User configurable as Hi/Lo alarms with expiration timers, periodic timers, or fault alarms.

The user friendly FC80 is available with an optional Auto-Clean feature that includes a solenoid actuated spray cleaner using either 30 psi process water or air. An easily adjusted timer controls the period and duration of the cleaning cycle.

Dual Range HP80 Hydrogen Peroxide Analyzer Suitable for Disinfection or Bleaching Processes

/in /by

Ideal for Municipal Water Treatment, Pulp/Paper, Food/Beverage, Petrochemical Refining, Power Generation and More

 

Irvine, CA—April 27, 2016—With a versatile dual parameter measurement range capability, the advanced HP80 Hydrogen Peroxide Analyzer from Electro-Chemical Devices (ECD) is a highly flexible and reliable instrument designed to measure H2O2 in both the parts per million (ppm) range and the percent solution range to support a variety of process applications.

Process and plant engineers will find the HP80 Analyzer is an easy-to-use measurement solution that’s ready to go right out of the box with a plumb-and-play design, which a single technician can set up in less than 15 minutes with no special tools.  It’s a complete analyzer system including an H2O2 sensor, a pH sensor, a constant head flow control device and transmitter with power supply all mounted on a PVC wall panel that’s ready to hang.

H2O2 is a colorless liquid that in high concentrations gives off an irritating acidic odor. It is a strong oxidizer, stronger than either chlorine or chlorine dioxide. Hydrogen peroxide reacts very fast. It will then disintegrate into oxygen gas and water without the formation of harmful byproducts and also increases the amount of oxygen in water.

H2O2 is used by municipalities as an oxidizer to remove metals from raw well water sources.  The pulp and paper industries extensively use H2O2 as a bleaching agent to give paper that crisp white look. Other uses include as a disinfectant in cooling towers and municipal wastewater treatment plants.

An effective bactericide, H2O2 does not form any harmful disinfection byproducts (DBP’s), as opposed to the typical chlorine products for drinking water and wastewater treatment that do. It decomposes naturally into oxygen and water and does not form a residual that has to be removed from the treated water before it is released to the environment.

The HP80 Analyzer features amperometric H2O2 sensors. These amperometric sensors are manufactured with a gold cathode, a silver anode and a rugged microporous membrane. The H2O2 sensors are smart sensors with their identity and calibration information stored internally. Communication between the T80 Transmitter and the H2O2 sensor is via MODBUS. The sensors are flow sensitive requiring a minimum flow rate of 0.5 ft/sec, above this flow rate, the reading is virtually independent of the flow rate.

A constant head flow control device (CFD) maintains the optimum flow rate moving past the sensor for sampling purposes.  The CFD’s automatic flow control capability eliminates the need for pressure regulators and rotameters, which are required by many other H2O2 analyzers, to reduce system maintenance and lifecycle operating costs.  The minimum flow rate required by the CFD is 10 gal/hr, and the maximum flow rate is 80 gal/hr with the sample draining at atmospheric pressure.

The HP80’s H2O2 sensors feature a measurement range of 0 to 200 ppm (2000 ppm, 2%, 20% optional).  The pH sensor has a range of 2 to 11 pH.  Operating temperature range for these sensors is 0 to 45°C (32 to 113°F) with automatic temperature compensation for the H2O2 sensor.

An optional sensor auto clean configuration is available, which includes a solenoid actuated spray cleaner that provides either a 30 psi process water or air.  The spray cleaner removes films from the sensor head, which over time can affect measurement accuracy.  There is rarely a need for manual wiping of the sensor head by maintenance technicians with the spray clean configuration. The sensor’s maintenance requirement is typically to replace the electrolyte every six months and replace the membrane cap once a year.

Designed with ECD’s T80 Universal Transmitter, the HP80 Analyzer includes a 128-x-64 pixel (2.75-x-1.5-inch) display.  The display is black on grey with no backlight or blue on a white background with the LED backlight.  The standard configuration features two 4-20 mA outputs, three alarm relays and a MODBUS RTU.  The enclosure is rated to IP65 and weatherproof.

Two-In One UV Analyzer Family for Disinfection Measures Ammonia, Nitrate Or COD In Water or Waste

/in /by

Ideal for Muni Water and Wastewater, Food/Beverage, Pulp/Paper and More

 

Anaheim, CA—March 30, 2016—Water engineers responsible for municipal or industrial water and wastewater will find the new versatile single or dual parameter CA-6 UV Family of Spectroscopic Analyzers from Electro-Chemical Devices (ECD) can monitor any two selected parameters in separate measurement ranges for ammonia, nitrate or chemical oxygen demand (COD 254 nm).

ECD’s CA-6 UV Analyzer Family provides a highly accurate, reliable and economical on-line sampling system that’s designed with UV absorption sensor technology to monitor harmful pollutant parameter levels.  The CA-6 Analyzer’s sensors are available in multiple parameter measurement ranges: Ammonia from 0-10 mg/L or 0 to 1000 mg/L; Nitrate from 0-30 mg/L, 0-100 mg/L, or 0-250 mg/L and COD 254 nm from 0-200 mg/L or 0-20,000 mg/L.

Each model is easy to order with either a single parameter or dual parameters in the factory pre-calibrated measurement ranges.  Everything needed comes in one box ready to install and start-up.  A single technician can complete the installation process in 15 minutes by connecting the sample, waste and cleaning solution (reagent) lines and powering up the analyzer.  Accessing the chosen factory pre-calibrated parameter data or customizing an analysis routine is easily done with user-friendly intuitive menus and a touch screen display.

Each parameter is analyzed based on the measurement of UV absorption in the sample.  The absorbance of the solution or gas is measured through a quartz flow cell at a specific wavelength using a long-life Xenon lamp and photo detectors.  The absorbance level is directly related to the sample concentration according to Beer-Lambert’s Law, which correlates the attenuation of light to the properties of the material through which the light is traveling.

To measure Ammonia, a reagent is added to the liquid sample and converts the ammonia to gas for measurement by the CA-6’s UV sensor with a fast Fourier transform algorithm that provides a measurement equivalent to the level of Ammonia.  A water temperature probe performs automatic temperature compensation for high accuracy.

In measuring the Nitrate found in turbid, organic rich wastewater, the CA-6 UV’s advanced self-cleaning design relies on the strong absorption of UV light by the chromophore N-O, which again is according to Beer-Lambert’s Law. Automatic internal linearization compensates for high concentrations of Nitrate.   A second wavelength and detector compensates for dirty matter in the flow cell to ensure high accuracy and reliability.

For the measurement of COD 254 nm, the CA-6’s sensor detects UV light absorption by unsaturated organic molecules at the 254 nm wavelength.  COD 254 nm levels in river water and municipal wastewater are closely correlated to the permanganate and dichromate water standard methods.  Measurement is extremely responsive, less than 10 seconds and requires no reagents or calibration solutions.

Accuracy is 5% for the measurement of Ammonia, Nitrate and COD with the CA-6 UV Analyzer based on a sample temperature range of 0 to 80°C, but the sample must be liquid and not frozen.  Repeatability varies based on the parameter chosen and the single or dual parameter configuration, ranging from 0.15 to 3 percent.

The versatile CA-6 Analyzer is designed with four alarm relays.  A single 4-20 mA analog output is included with 12-bit resolution.  RS232 communications are provided for data download to a CSV file, with an optional RS485 MODBUS communication module available.

Green Friendly PA80 Peracetic Acid Analyzer Helps Maintain Disinfection Without Harmful Byproducts

/in /by

Ideal for Food/Beverage, Medical, Pharmaceutical and Muni Water Processes

 

Irvine, CA—February 17, 2016—Process and plant engineers responsible for maintaining sanitary product, process and equipment environments will find the new panel mounted      PA80 Peracetic Analyzer from Electro-Chemical Devices (ECD) simplifies process monitoring to ensure disinfection without the need for potentially harmful disinfection byproducts (DPBs).

The plumb-and-play design of ECD’s economical PA80 Peracetic Acid Analyzer allows a single technician to install the unit right out of the box with no special tools or complex calibration routines. Ready to go from the factory, the PA80’s cost-effective design includes built-in flow control, and so there’s no need to purchase or install pressure regulators and rotameters, which are typically an extra cost with many other types of liquid analyzers.

Peracetic acid is a colorless liquid with a characteristic pungent odor similar to vinegar.

PAA is produced by a reaction between hydrogen peroxide and acetic acid.  Produced typically as an equilibrium solution combining these agents, PAA is supplied in concentrations of 5 to 15 percent. It is a powerful oxidizer, stronger than either chlorine or chlorine dioxide.

The rugged and reliable ECD PA80 Peracetic Analyzer features multiple PAA measurement ranges:  0-20, 0-200 and 0-2000 ppm.  Providing multiple measurement ranges allows plant engineers to select the monitoring range that best fits the requirements of their product batch recipes, their processes and equipment cleaning requirements.

The food and beverage, medical and pharmaceutical industries all rely on PAA as a cleaner and sanitizer of process equipment, medical instruments and for bottle washing. It is also used as a disinfectant in municipal wastewater treatment and industrial cooling towers.

PAA is a highly effective bactericide that does not form any harmful disinfection by products (DBP) like many chlorine products do. It decomposes naturally into acetic acid and water and does not form a residual that has to be removed from the treated water.

The PA80’s plumb and play design incorporates a constant head flow control device, a pH sensor, a peracetic acid sensor and ECD’s T80 analyzer/ transmitter—all conveniently mounted on a PVC panel.  Plant technicians simply connect the sample and drain lines, connect the power and outputs, and the PA80 is ready to use. Calibration is accomplished by a grab sample comparison.

The PA80 Analyzer’s transmitter is 110-240 VAC or 24 VDC powered and allows either parameter to be graphically displayed with user defined line, bar or gauge style graphs. The standard configuration has two 4-20 mA outputs, three alarm relays and an industry standard MODBUS RTU (remote terminal unit).

Relying on precision amperometric PAA sensors that are flow sensitive, the PA80 provides accurate measurement with a minimum flow rate past the sensor of 0.5 ft/sec;

above this flow rate the output is virtually flow independent. The PA80’s constant head flow control device (CFD) maintains the optimum flow past the sensor over a wide range of incoming sample flow rates. The minimum flow required for the CFD is 10 gal/hr, and the maximum flow rate is 80 gal/hr with the sample draining at atmospheric pressure.

To reduce maintenance technician time and costs, the PA80 features an optional auto clean configuration, which includes a solenoid actuated spray cleaner that uses either 30 psi process water or air. An easily adjusted timer controls the period and duration of the cleaning cycle.  The optional spray cleaner also eliminates fouling to protect batch sensitive products and prevent process line downtime.

Versatile Optical IR Sensing Turbidity Analyzer With Modular Multi-Parameter Measurement

/in /by

Simplifies Suspended Solids Environmental Monitoring, Wastewater Treatment Discharge,

Filter or Backwash, Clarity in Settling Ponds, Surface Water, Rinse Water Control

 

Irvine, CA—August 11, 2016—With its optical infrared (IR) sensor and intelligent transmitter, the two channel Triton® Turbidity Analyzerfrom Electro-Chemical Devices (ECD) combines precision turbidity analysis with the flexibility to add a second measurement, including dissolved oxygen (DO), pH, oxygen reduction potential (ORP),  conductivity or various pION parameters.

Accurate measurement of turbidity (suspended solids) is important in a wide range of surface water, municipal water and wastewater treatment, and industrial water treatment applications.  Turbidity is the cloudiness or haziness of a water sample, which is caused by suspended particles in the water that are typically clay and silt.  Viruses and bacteria can attach themselves to the particles making turbidity a critical indicator of overall water quality.

ECD’s Turbidity Analyzer is designed with the advanced Triton TR86 Turbidity Sensor and the sophisticated T80 Universal Transmitter.  The result is accurate, reliable turbidity measurement with the capability to add one additional measurement parameter, providing plant technicians with the flexibility to add any of ECD’s intelligent S80 plug-n-play sensors to the process control loop.

The TR86 sensor measures suspended solids continuously in a choice of three separate ranges from 0 to 4000 NTU.  With its optical IR sensing technology, the TR86 sensor emits an 850 nm beam of near infrared light into the sample where it is scattered by the particles suspended in the water.  The amount of back scattered light returning to the sensor is then measured and correlated to the amount of suspended solid particulates in the water.

The measurement response of the TR86 sensor depends on the size, shape and composition of the suspended particles.  For this reason, mg/L, ppm and % suspended solids must be calibrated with the monitored water sample.  Turbidity measurements (NTU, FNU) can be calibrated with calibration standards such as Formazin, StablCal or SDVD beads.

The dependable TR86 sensor is accurate to 2 percent of reading, or 0.5 NTU, whichever is greater.  It features built-in temperature compensation to ensure accuracy and operates over a wide temperature range from 32 to 122°F (-5 to 50°C) and at pressures up to 50 psi maximum in a flow cell configuration.

Designed for rugged wastewater treatment environments, the TR86 sensor is available with either side mounted or front axially mounted optics.  These two options provide technicians with a choice to minimize interference from surfaces below the sensor (side-mount) or from surfaces around the sensor (axial front-mount).    A built-in daylight rejection filter blocks sun light and reduces ambient light interference.  The front mount configuration includes a copper ring sensor surround shield that inhibits the growth of algae and other biological films.

The TR86 sensors plug in directly to the T80 Universal Transmitter and are pre-set at the factory to the desired range. The T80 transmitter functions as either a single or dual channel transmitter with one or two 4-20 mA outputs, MODBUS RTU and optional alarm relays (three) or HART 7 communication.   The T80 transmitter’s highly intelligent electronics allow suspended solids turbidity measurement to be combined with any of ECD’s intelligent S80 sensors for  pH, ORP, conductivity, DO or pION.

Installing the Triton Turbidity Analyzer is simple with a 1-inch stand pipe for immersion service or with ECD’s PVC flow cell for an in-line flow through application.  Either the side-mount or front-mount configuration of the TR86 sensor is suitable for immersion service.  The side mount configuration must be used for in-line service.

Efficient Colorimetric Analyzer Helps Monitor Troublesome Manganese & Iron In Drinking Water

/in /by

Ideal for Muni Water, Food, Beverage, Textile,

Semiconductor & Other High Purity Water Processes

 

AA038726

Anaheim, CA—June 16, 2016—The easy-to-use and economical CA6 Colorimetric Analyzer from Electro-Chemical Devicesprovides accurate and reliable measurement of manganese (Mn) or iron levels in municipal drinking water production, food/beverage processing and other high purity water processes.

The Model CA6 Colorimetric Analyzer is an on-line sequential sampling analyzer. A sequence of sampling, analysis and results processing is performed and repeated using colorimetric methods. This technology relies on an LED light source and a heated colorimetric cell designed for measuring trace amounts of manganese, iron and other analytes in water.

Manganese and iron are natural occurring elements found in air, soil and water.  Manganese and iron are essential nutrients for humans and animals.  Adverse health effects can be caused by inadequate intake or over exposure.  Manganese deficiency in humans is thought to be rare because manganese is present in many common foods.

Both manganese and iron have a strong, unpleasant metallic taste in water.  Ground water sources with manganese and iron can appear clear initially, but turn black (manganese) and orange-brown (iron) when exposed to air. An advisory from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends reducing manganese and iron concentrations to or below 0.05 mg/L and 0.03 mg/L, respectively, which are the EPA’s secondary maximum contaminant levels (SMCL’s).

The EPA’s manganese and iron SMCL’s are based on staining and taste considerations, but are not federally enforceable regulations and are intended as guidelines. There are multiple municipal water treatment options for the removal of Mn and iron from drinking water.

 

AA038726

They all, however, rely on accurate and dependable water quality analysis prior to and after treatment.  The CA6 Colorimetric Manganese Analyzer is available in three ranges:  0-100 ug/L, 0-1 mg/L and 0-5 mg/L and the CA6 Colorimetric Iron Analyzer also is available in three ranges: 0-0.1 mg/L, 0-1.0 mg/L and 0-5.0 mg/L.

The CA6 precision online sequential sampling analyzer is lightweight and easy to install. Weighing less than 40 pounds, it can be wall mounted or simply set on a bench using the optional bench top stand. After the sample, waste and reagent lines have been connected to the analyzer and provided with power, the CA6 will begin its preprogrammed analysis sequence.              The CA6 is available with up to 4 channels (optional) each from a separate sample point. A simple, user-friendly menu structure and touchscreen interface makes it easy to access information or customize analyses.

The CA6 utilizes photometric differential absorbance to analyze manganese, iron and over 20 other common parameters including: aluminum, silica, nitrogen, iron and sulfate. It operates at a wide temperature range of 5-50°C and  offers repeatability of ±2% on the absorbance value if the turbidity <80 NTU and drift of ±2% per month on the absorbance measurement.

The CA6 Analyzer’s easy-to-use touch-screen display shows the measured parameter, analyzer status, percent reagent volumes and the menu bar, which provides access to the run, display, program, service and help menus. It includes two alarm relay outputs and a 4-20 mA channel that connects with programmable logic controllers (PLC’s) or distributed control systems (DCS’s).

The rugged and reliable CA6 features two separate compartments to isolate liquids and electronics and is enclosed in an epoxy powder coated, cold rolled steel cabinet. The liquids enclosure houses all the components necessary for sampling and reagent flow, mixing and reaction stages (sampling pump, reagent micro-pumps and colorimetric reaction cell).

Intelligent Total Chlorine and Free Chlorine Analyzers For Simple, Precise, Reliable Measurement

/in /by

Ideal for Municipal Water and Wastewater Chlorination Treatment Systems

 

Free Chlorine AnalyzersAnaheim, CA—November 7, 2016—Municipal water treatment process engineers and technicians will find the advanced modular TC80 Total Chlorine and FC80 Free Chlorine Analyzers from Electro-Chemical Devices combine plug-n-play capability for fast set-up, highly reliable accuracy and replacement sensor cartridges for economical maintenance

In drinking water disinfection systems, chlorine is commonly added to remove disease causing organisms.  When the chlorine is added to the water in a treatment facility, some of the chlorine first reacts with organic materials and metals, which leaves it unavailable for disinfection.  This state is typically known as chlorine demand of the water.

The chlorine that remains after accounting for chlorine demand is known as total chlorine (TC).  It consists of the amount of chlorine that has reacted with nitrates (unavailable for disinfection), which are called combined chlorine, and the amount of free chlorine (FC) that is available to treat disease causing organisms.

The measurements of both total chlorine and free chlorine are vitally important in the effective operation of water disinfection systems.  ECD’s intelligent TC80 and FC80 Sensors offer reliable measurement of both parameters along with its modular two-channel T80 Transmitter/Analyzer.

Both the TC80 and FC80 Analyzers are compliant with EPA method 334.0 for measuring drinking water. They feature heavy-duty three electrode amperometric chlorine sensors with a gold cathode, silver halide anode and 304 SS counter electrode. The counter electrode provides a stable base potential that minimizes drift.

The TC80 Analyzer monitors total chlorine in drinking water, rinse water, cooling water or other fresh water samples. The measurement range is from 0.05 – 20 ppm chlorine as the standard range or 0.005 – 2.000 ppm with the low range sensor.

The FC80 Analyzer  monitors free chlorine in drinking water, rinse water, cooling water or other fresh water samples.  The measurement range is from 0.05 – 20 ppm chlorine as the standard range or 0.01 – 5.00 ppm with the low range sensor.

The plug-n-play T80 Analyzer/Transmitter along with the TC80 and FC80 Sensors all install quickly right out of the box.  The TC80 Analyzer/Transmitter’s advanced panel mount design includes built-in flow control, which eliminates the need for complicated pressure regulators and rotometers. Connect the sample and drain lines, connect the power and outputs and the system is ready to use.  Built-in automatic pH compensation also eliminates the need for expensive reagents to reduce maintenance and life-cycle costs

The T80 Analyzer/Transmitter is available with either 110-240 VAC or 24 VDC power.  Parameters can be graphically displayed with user defined line, bar or gauge style graphs. The standard configuration has two 4-20 mA outputs, three alarm relays and a MODBUS RTU.

An auto-clean option is available that includes a solenoid actuated spray cleaner using either 30 psi process water or air. An easily adjusted timer controls the period and duration of the cleaning cycle.

Ideal for Food/Beverage, Medical, Pharmaceutical and Muni Water Processes

PAA AnalyzerAnaheim, CA—February 2016—Process and plant engineers responsible for maintaining sanitary product, process and equipment environments will find the new panel mounted PA80 Peracetic Acid Analyzer from Electro-Chemical Devices (ECD) simplifies process monitoring to ensure disinfection without the need for potentially harmful disinfection byproducts (DPBs).

The plumb-and-play design of ECD’s economical PA80 Peracetic Acid Analyzer allows a single technician to install the unit right out of the box with no special tools or complex calibration routines. Ready to go from the factory, the PA80’s cost-effective design includes built-in flow control, and so there’s no need to purchase or install pressure regulators and rotameters, which are typically an extra cost with many other types of liquid analyzers.

Peracetic acid is a colorless liquid with a characteristic pungent odor similar to vinegar. PAA is produced by a reaction between hydrogen peroxide and acetic acid.  Produced typically as an equilibrium solution combining these agents, PAA is supplied in concentrations of 5 to 15 percent. It is a powerful oxidizer, stronger than either chlorine or chlorine dioxide.

The rugged and reliable ECD PA80 Peracetic Analyzer features multiple PAA measurement ranges:  0-20, 0-200 and 0-2000 ppm.  Providing multiple measurement ranges allows plant engineers to select the monitoring range that best fits the requirements of their product batch recipes, their processes and equipment cleaning requirements.

The food and beverage, medical and pharmaceutical industries all rely on PAA as a cleaner and sanitizer of process equipment, medical instruments and for bottle washing. It is also used as a disinfectant in municipal wastewater treatment and industrial cooling towers.

PAA is a highly effective bactericide that does not form any harmful disinfection by products (DBP) like many chlorine products do. It decomposes naturally into acetic acid and water and does not form a residual that has to be removed from the treated water. 

The PA80’s plumb and play design incorporates a constant head flow control device, a pH sensor, a peracetic acid sensor and ECD’s T80 analyzer/ transmitter—all conveniently mounted on a PVC panel.  Plant technicians simply connect the sample and drain lines, connect the power and outputs, and the PA80 is ready to use. Calibration is accomplished by a grab sample comparison.

The PA80 Analyzer’s transmitter is 110-240 VAC or 24 VDC powered and allows either parameter to be graphically displayed with user defined line, bar or gauge style graphs. The standard configuration has two 4-20 mA outputs, three alarm relays and an industry standard MODBUS RTU (remote terminal unit).

Relying on precision amperometric PAA sensors that are flow sensitive, the PA80 provides accurate measurement with a minimum flow rate past the sensor of 0.5 ft/sec; above this flow rate the output is virtually flow independent. The PA80’s constant head flow control device (CFD) maintains the optimum flow past the sensor over a wide range of incoming sample flow rates. The minimum flow required for the CFD is 10 gal/hr, and the maximum flow rate is 80 gal/hr with the sample draining at atmospheric pressure.

To reduce maintenance technician time and costs, the PA80 features an optional auto clean configuration, which includes a solenoid actuated spray cleaner that uses either 30 psi process water or air. An easily adjusted timer controls the period and duration of the cleaning cycle.  The optional spray cleaner also eliminates fouling to protect batch sensitive products and prevent process line downtime.

Inductive Conductivity Analyzer

Inductive Conductivity Sensors – Model S80 IC

/in /by

S80 Inductive Conductivity Sensors

The measurement of electrolytic conductivity is used to determine the amount of dissolved ionized material in a solution. It is most commonly made by measuring the electrical conductivity between two metallic electrodes placed into the solution. Inductive Conductivity is a non-contacting conductivity measurement made between two toroidal magnetic coils located inside a sensor that are inductively coupled through the solution’s conductivity. Since the toroidal coils are located inside the sensor’s PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) body, the inductive sensors are ideal for applications where corrosion or coating of the metallic electrodes will occur.  Inductive sensors excel in the higher conductivity ranges and in applications where coating is a problem. The chemically resistant PVDF (KYNAR) body is excellent for corrosive environments. These sensors are ideal for measuring high conductivity solutions and % concentration measurements. The measurement range of the inductive sensor is from 50 µS to 1000 mS. The Model S80 Inductive Conductivity sensors have the same ¾” diameter body as the rest of the S80 sensors. A wide array of installation methods are available, insertion into a pipe with a compression fitting or a valve retractable design for entry and removal into a pipe without shutting off the flow. Immersion into tanks or channels with a stand pipe and various flow cells are also available.

S80 sensors are a family of digital sensors designed for use with ECD digital analyzers, the Model T80 and X80 transmitters. The S80 sensors convert the analog signals into a temperature compensated digital protocol that allows two way communications with the transmitter. The type of sensor, identity and serial number are stored in the sensor’s memory along with three calibration registers. When connected to an ECD digital analyzer the sensor’s identity and calibration information are uploaded to the analyzer which configures the displays and outputs to the values appropriate to the sensor’s measured parameter.

Prevent Industrial Boiler Corrosion & Scale With

Continuous Trace DO2 Analyzer Accurate to ppb Levels

Ideal For Electric Power Generation Steam Turbine Systems

Irvine, CA—June xx, 2015—Process and plant engineers who need to improve boiler efficiency, reduce maintenance and lower costs will find the new plug-n-play rack mount DO90 Trace DO2 Analyzer from Electro Chemical Devices (ECD) provides continuous precision measurement and alarming of trace dissolved oxygen (DO2) levels in boiler feed water supporting electric power generation steam turbine systems.

Oxygen should only be present in trace quantities in boiler feed water for steam turbine systems because excessive concentrations of oxygen can result in corrosion damage to the components of the boiler’s steam cycle.  Oxygen in the feed water of high-pressure boilers attacks the boiler’s metal construction, leading to severe pitting. In addition, the iron oxide produced by the corrosion leaves iron deposits requiring additional system maintenance.

To remove the oxygen, the boiler feed water is pretreated by thermally or chemically degassing it to achieve oxygen-free water. This state must be maintained throughout the steam cycle. De-aeration is accomplished through the use of physical mediums, including de-aerating heaters or chemical mediums like oxygen scavengers.

Processes that rely only on periodic grab samples to monitor the ppb oxygen concentration in boiler feed water introduce the risk of significant sampling errors.  Such sampling errors can eventually lead to the use of additional costly water treatment consumables and more frequent boiler maintenance cycles that can shorten boiler life.

To prevent these problems, the ECD Model DO90 Trace DO2 Analyzer features a lead silver, galvanic, dissolved oxygen sensor with a durable PFA Teflon® membrane.  The sensor is combined with an intelligent universal transmitter designed for continuous service. The sensor is housed in a rugged, 316L flanged stainless steel body for use in rugged industrial process environments.

Oxygen diffusing through the DO90 sensor’s membrane is reduced at the cathode, producing hydroxide ions that react with the lead ions in the electrolyte to form lead hydroxide.  The anode dissolves more lead ions into the electrolyte, sending electrons to the cathode to reduce any oxygen present. The current flows from the lead anode to the cathode. Under constant conditions, the current is proportional to the oxygen concentration of the medium.

The Model DO90 sensor is a smart, digital device featuring a noise-free digital signal for easy communication.  All data processing is internal to the sensor, and the calibration information is stored in the sensor’s memory.  It also provides integral temperature measurement.

The DO90 sensor features an easily replaceable electrode cartridge, which eliminates the need for messy electrolyte/membrane replacement kits. It offers users a wide measurement range of 0.001 to 20.00 mg/l or ppm/ppb auto-ranging. It operates at a process temperature range of –5 to 50°C and a process pressure range of 0 to 15 psi maximum overpressure. Vacuum operation is not permitted. Highly stable over time, the DO90, with its continuous polarization, drifts less than 1% per month.

The Model DO90 sensor is compatible with ECD’s T80 Universal Transmitter.  It is a single or dual channel transmitter designed for the continuous measurement of pH, ORP, pION, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, conductivity or resistivity in a general purpose industrial environment. The transmitter digitally communicates with the Model DO90 sensor or any ECD Model S80 intelligent sensor, automatically configuring the transmitter’s menus and display screens to the measured parameter.

The T80 Transmitter’s own highly intelligent digital protocol simplifies installation set-up and process measurements while also reducing maintenance costs. The two-channel model offers membrane switch navigation, a simple menu structure and soft key menu choices with an easy-to-read 2 ¾ -x- 1 ½ inch LCD display.

The T80 accepts any S80 intelligent sensor or any standard pH sensor with solution ground using the optional T80 input card as an input. It is available with 4-20 mA output with MODBUS RTU on 24 Vdc and 110/220 Vac instruments. The T80 can be configured with optional HART® 7 communication protocol and an optional three alarm relay.

The T80 Transmitter digitally communications with any S80 Sensor, automatically uploading the sensor’s calibration data and configuring the transmitter’s menus and display screens to the desired parameter. S80 Sensors feature a choice of two universal sensor designs: Insertion/Submersion or Valve Retractable with flared end to prevent blow out. They have a rugged ¾-inch OD 316 stainless steel body with a 10-foot cable or an optional waterproof detachable cable assembly.

The versatile S80 DO Sensor features a measurement range from 0.00-20.00 ppm (mg/l) over a temperature range from -10° to 60°C. For pH, the S80 features a measurement range from 0.00 -14.00 pH with a temperature range of -10° to 90°C. To monitor nitrates, the S80 Sensor has a measurement range of 0.1 ppm to 14,000 ppm (3-11 pH), 7×106 molar to 1 molar NO3 over a temperature range from 0° to 40°C.

With the S80 Sensors, the economical auto clean option includes a solenoid actuated spray cleaner using either 30 psi process water or air. An easily adjusted timer controls the period and duration of the cleaning cycle. The auto clean option pays for itself by reducing time consuming manual maintenance routines, which frees staff for other more productive activities.

Combining ease of set-up, modular design and low maintenance, the T80-S80 Analyzer System is ideal for demanding aquaculture applications. From single point of measurement to monitoring multiple parameters, the flexible T80-S80 Analyzer System is an economical automation tool for economical aquaculture production operations.

Reagentless Total Chlorine Analyzer - TC80

Plug-n-Play TC80 Total Chlorine Analyzer Simplifies Monitoring and Lowers Cost

ECD DC80 De-Chlorination Analyzer

New ECD DC80 De-Chlorination Analyzer Measures Near Zero Levels of Chlorine for Repeatable Accuracy

/in /by

Ideal for De-Chlorination Applications Including Municipal Water Systems and Industrial Cooling Water
Irvine, CA—January 26, 2015—Municipal water system and industrial process engineers in search of an analyzer that accurately measures near zero levels of chlorine will want to learn more about the plug-n-play DC80 De-Chlorination Analyzer from Electro-Chemical Devices (ECD), which utilizes a zero-shift method to ensure stable and reliable chlorine measurement.

Conventional amperometric chlorine sensors are unstable when measuring near zero amounts of chlorine, which can lead to inaccurate and inconsistent readings. The DC80 De-Chlorination Analyzer utilizes a “zero-shift” methodology to provide accurate measurement and to protect total chlorine sensors from damage, which naturally occurs when the water samples measured contains near zero or zero levels of chlorine.

For example in wastewater treatment when monitoring for chlorine just before outfall, there can be no chlorine present and yet measurement is still necessary. If there is no chlorine present then the electrode becomes unstable and finally unresponsive. Therefore the very process of measuring de-chlorination becomes problematic. If all of the chlorine is removed then the sensor will provide an inaccurate reading after a few hours and fail after a few days still reporting zero chlorine

The DC80 De-Chlorination Analyzer solves this problem: It is a total chlorine analyzer that uses the “zero shift” strategy to monitor near zero amounts of total chlorine. Chlorine is metered into the sample shifting the zero from a near zero chlorine concentration to a measurable value. The analyzer’s offset feature allows the metered value to be subtracted from the measurement.

The DC-80 De-Chlorination Analyzer monitors chlorine in drinking water, wastewater, cooling water and other de-chlorination applications from 0.05 – 20 ppm. Its mounted system includes built-in flow control, which eliminates the need for complicated plug-and-play design installs quickly right out of the box. The DC80’s advanced panel pressure regulators and rotometers.  Built-in automatic pH compensation for samples between 4 and 12 pH also eliminates the need for expensive reagents to reduce maintenance and life-cycle costs.

The analyzer’s total chlorine sensor is a three electrode amperometric sensor with a gold cathode, silver halide anode and 304 stainless steel counter electrode. The counter electrode provides a stable base potential that minimizes drift for superior accuracy. The total chlorine sensor has a micro-porous membrane that allows ions to diffuse in and out of the sensor.

The analyzer’s pH sensor provides accurate compensation for samples between 4 and 12 pH, which eliminates the need for a sample conditioning system. The total chlorine sensor graphically displays both the total chlorine and pH levels for easy trend analysis.

The DC80 Analyzer is available with either 110-240 VAC or 24 VDC power. The standard configuration features dual measurements, two 4-20 mA outputs and three alarm relays. The user friendly DC80 also is available with an auto clean option that includes a solenoid actuated spray cleaner using either 30 psi process water or air. An easily adjusted timer controls the period and duration of the cleaning cycle.

The next-generation Fluoride Monitoring System from ECD is designed with its new advanced dual-channel T80 Universal Transmitter and precision S80 Intelligent pION Sensor for Fluoride and S80 Intelligent pH Sensor. Together, they provide highly accurate and reliable measurement of Fluoride for electronics industry manufacturing plant wastewater treatment.

The T80 Transmitter provides dual-channel comparison of measurements or inputs, which can improve the accuracy of Fluoride measurement. For example, Fluoride ions are affected by changes in the pH of a solution. The correct measurement of Fluoride levels is only possible if pH is also measured and appropriate compensation algorithms are processed. The S80 pH Sensor and the dual-channel T80 Transmitter easily handles these types of measurement comparisons.

The efficient use of Fluoride is an important part of the semiconductor industry’s fabrication process. Effective etching of semiconductor wafers is dependent on Fluoride usage. Such processes produce wastewater and effluent contaminated with Fluoride, which must be accurately analyzed for effective treatment.

ECD’s S80 pION Sensor for Fluoride combined with the T80 Transmitter are well suited for this task. ECD’s S80 pION Sensor for Fluoride’s specific (pIon) electrode cartridge measures the activity of “free” Fluoride ions in solution in concentrations from 0.02 to 2,000 ppm over a pH range from 5-8 pH. They operate over a wide temperature range of 0 to 80º C. The S80 Immersion or Insertion Sensor is designed with a 0.75-inch MNPT compression fitting as the process connection and allows a variable insertion length to accommodate installation in pipe tees, flow cells or through tank walls. The S80 Retractable Sensor is designed with a 1-inch MNPT ball valve, a 1-x-0.75 inch reducer and a 0.75 inch MNPT compression fitting to provide the process connection.

In addition to Fluoride measurement, ECD’s replaceable electrode cartridges for the S80 pION Sensor for Fluoride can also be selected to measure parameters including other specific ions, pH, ORP, dissolved oxygen, conductivity and resistivity. These cartridges provide specific industrial process measurement solutions, and they are constructed in a variety of configurations and materials to support diverse industries.
