Potable Water Chlorine Analyzer for Air Travel

Monitoring the potable water for airplanes is not an easy problem. Among the issues to resolve are a lack of consistent flow and pressure at the tap, and multiple opportunities for contamination between influent water and the plane tanks, including but not limited to mobile tanker trucks. Add to these issues the time crunch that ground crews face, and it’s easy to see why multiple studies recommend travelers avoid tap-water choices on the beverage cart, including coffee, tea, and ice.

Halogen’s MP5™ is a good foundation for potable water chlorine monitoring solutions for air travel. The MP5™ is compact, sturdy and does not use membranes, electrolyte, or reagents. Unlike other amperometric sensors, the MP5™ amperometric chlorine analyzer is self-cleaning and unaffected by changes in flow, pressure, or temperature. The MP5™ automatically compensates for changes in pH and will not lose calibration if dried out. The MP5™ is the only chlorine analyzer approved for NSF-61 use in drinking water without requiring a waste line, so it can be deployed in-pipe, in-stream, or in-tank.
