On-Line PO4 measurement SPECTRON

Spectron is a spectrophotometric analyser for quasi continuous on-line measurement of Phosphate in wastewater. For monitoring and control, the 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 (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.
