On-Line PO4, NO3 & NH4 measurement SPECTRON

Spectron is a spectrophotometric analyser for quasi continuous on-line measurement of PO4, NO3 and NH4 in wastewater.  Eight different models are available for specific requirements, they are briefly described below. For monitoring and control, all SPECTRON is equipped with signal outputs of 0-20 or 4-20 mA. A built-in graphical display shows concentration data and other important information, which are stored for the last 14 days.  An optional diskette drive provides long-term data storage.


 

SPECTRON (PO4, Yellow)

SPECTRON (PO4 yellow) is a spectrophotometric analyser for quasi continuous measurement of phosphate in wastewater. The specific reagent is added, which forms an intense yellow complex with phosphate with concentration dependent absorbance between 380 and 480 nm.
The analyser is equipped with a diode array spectrophotometer that operates from 380 to 780 nm, and automatically calibrates itself daily using two standards

 

How it works: The bypass is the fast feed loop to the analyser. The peristaltic pump transfers a portion of the sample to the measuring cell, where it is mixed with reagents delivered by the reagent pumps. As the sample and reagent streams mix, they form the yellow colour complex, which is analysed between 380 and 480 nm.


SPECTRON (PO4, Green)

SPECTRON (PO4 green) is a spectrophotometric analyser for quasi continuous measurement of phosphate in wastewater having yellow coloured interferences. Specific reagents are added, which form an intense blue-green complex with phosphorus with concentration dependent absorbance between 600 and 730 nm.
The analyser is equipped with a diode array spectrophotometer that operates from 380 to 780 nm, and automatically calibrates itself daily using two standards.

How it works:  The bypass is the fast feed loop to the analyser. The peristaltic pump transfers a portion of the sample to the measuring cell, where it is mixed with reagents delivered by the reagent pumps. As the sample and reagent streams mix, they form the blue-green colour complex, which is analysed between 600 and 730 nm.

Note: Yellow colouration of the sample, for example by humic acids, does not interfere. Silicate has no effect on measurement accuracy. The instrument operates in the range of trace analysis.


SPECTRON (Ptotal)

SPECTRON (Ptotal) is a spectrophotometric analyser for quasi continuous measurement of phosphorus in wastewater.  The sample is thermally digested.  Then specific reagents are added, which form an intense yellow complex with phosphorus with concentration dependent absorbance between 380 and 480 nm.
The analyser is equipped with a diode array spectrophotometer that operates from 380 to 780 nm, and automatically calibrates itself daily using two standards.  

How it works: The bypass is the fast feed loop to the analyser. The peristaltic pump transfers a portion of the sample to the measuring cell, where it is mixed with reagents delivered by the reagent pumps. As the sample and reagent streams mix, they form the yellow colour complex, which is analysed between 380 and 480 nm.


SPECTRON (NO3)

SPECTRON (NO3) is a spectro photometric analyser for quasi continuous measurement of nitrate in wastewater. A specific reagent is added, which forms an intense yellow complex with nitrate with concentration dependent absorbance between 380 and 500 nm.
The analyser is equipped with a diode array spectrophotometer that operates from 380 to 780 nm, and automatically calibrates itself daily using two standards. 
How it works: The bypass is the fast feed loop to the analyser. The peristaltic pump transfers a portion of the sample to the measuring cell, where it is mixed with reagents delivered by the reagent pumps. As the sample and reagent streams mix, they form the blue-green colour complex, which is analysed between 380 and 500 nm.
SPECTRON (PO4/NO3)

SPECTRON (PO4 /NO3) is an on-line analyser for simultaneous measurement of phosphate and nitrate in wastewater.
Phosphate measurement is quasicontinuous and performed photometrically, while the nitrate measurement is ion selective and continuous.
The analyser automatically calibrates itself daily using two standards.
How it works: The bypass is the fast feed loop to the analyzer. The peristaltic pump transfers a portion of the sample to the measuring cell. The reagent pumps feed reagents to the measuring cells. In the PO4 measuring cell an intense yellow complex is formed, which is analysed photometrically between 380 and 500 nm. In the NO3 measuring cell the ionic strength is adjusted and the nitrate concentration is measured by an ion-selective electrode.
SPECTRON (PO4/NH4)

SPECTRON (PO4/NH4) is an on-line analyser for simultaneous measurement of phosphate and ammonium in wastewater.
Phosphate measurement is quasi-continuous and performed photo-metrically, while the ammonium measurement is gas selective and continuous. The analyzer automatically calibrates itself daily using two standards.
How it works: The bypass is the fast feed loop to the analyzer. The peristaltic pump transfers a portion of the sample to the measuring cell. The reagent pumps feed reagents to the measuring cells. In the PO4 measuring cell an intense yellow complex is formed, which is analysed photometrically between 380 and 500 nm. In the NH4 measuring cell the pH is adjusted to 11, and the ammonium concentration is measured as ammonia.
SPECTRON (NO3/NH4)

SPECTRON (NO3/NH4 ) is a spectrophotometric analyser for simultaneous measurement of nitrate and ammonium in wastewater.
Nitrate measurement is quasi continuous and performed photometrically, while the ammonium measurement is gas selective and continuous.
The analyzer automatically calibrates itself daily using two standards.

How it works: The bypass is the fast feed loop to the analyser.  The peristaltic pump transfers a portion of the sample to the measuring cell.  The reagent pumps feed reagents to the measuring cells. In the NO3 measuring cell an intense yellow complex is formed, which is analysed photometrically between 380 and 500 nm. In the NH4 measuring cell the pH is adjusted to 11, and the ammonium concentration is measured as ammonia.


SPECTRON (S)

SPECTRON (S) is a spectrophotometric on-line analyser that can be adapted for user specified applications. The analyser incorporates a diode array spectrophotometer for measurement at wavelengths from 380 to 780 mm. Measurement is quasicontinuous.

SPECTRON (S) can be equipped per user choice with one or two reagent pumps, and with different configurations to measure for example nitrite, cobalt, or phenol.  The technical data include description and data for the nitrite parameter. The analyser automatically calibrates itself daily using two standards.
How it works: Taking NO2  measurement as an example: the bypass is the fast feed loop to the analyser.  The peristaltic pump transfers a portion of the sample to the measuring cell. The reagent pumps feed reagents to the measuring cells.  A purple complex is formed, which is analysed photometrically between 500 and 600 nm.
