Water Quality Sensors
Water quality does not refer to a specific day parameter, it contains multiple elements to measure water conditions.
Water Quality Sensor is a general term for multiple sensors that allow you to measure PH, residual chlorine, turbidity, conductivity, suspended solids, COD, BOD, conductivity, and dissolved oxygen and turbidity through a variety of methods such as water chemical, physical and biological reactions, and provides data support for researchers, observers, and engineers. It is used in laboratory research, environmental management improvement, marine water quality assessment, hydraulic model calibration, sewage treatment, and other fields.
Water quality sensors can be classified into the following types:
- Oil Spill Sensors
- Organic Parameter Sensors
- Physico-Chemical Sensors
Oil Spill Sensors
These autonomous sensors help in the real-time detection of oil contamination using different technologies to help differentiate between oil and other substances, such as: Infrared spectroscopy, UV – Fluorescence, and Laser-induced fluorescence.
Organic Parameter Sensors
These sensors are used for the measurement of organic water quality parameters such as BOD, COD, TOC, DOC, Coliforms (faecal, E. coli, total), Ammonium, Nitrate, Total Phosphate and many more
Physico-Chemical Sensors
These sensors help in the measurement of physicochemical parameters that provide essential information to determine the status of water bodies, as well as to diagnose the origin and causes of their alterations.
