HSI’s amperometric analyzers have several unique advantages whether deployed in seawater as a TRO sensor, municipal drinking water chlorine analyzer, or wastewater chlorine sensor. The benefits of the Halogen Systems technology overcome many of the drawbacks of existing membrane amperometric and reagent feed systems commonly used.
High on the list of benefits are flow independence, self-cleaning electrodes, and lengthy calibration retention. These benefits are common to both the seawater-specific TRO series and the MP5 family. Both employ three-electrode amperometry using bare electrodes, an integrated cleaning system, and a built-in pH sensor. The integrated sensor package creates a durable, reliable, and cost-effective analyzer unlike anything else. See the list below, and click on the headers for additional information.
Halogen uses a bare 3 electrode sensor, eliminating the need to replace clogged membranes or replenish electrolyte required by conventional amperometric sensors. This results in much lower maintenance requirements. In competing amperometric sensors, diluted electrolyte requires periodic sensor recalibration. Halogen’s technology needs no electrolyte and this allows their analyzers to hold calibrations much longer. For more information, see the Amperometric Technology page.
The Halogen chlorine sensors have a patented cleaning feature called SensiCLĒNE™. Polymeric beads held within the sensor cap abrade the electrodes to minimize biofouling and remove calcium carbonate that typically deposits on the electrodes during operation in seawater. The polymeric beads are motivated by the flow from the internal pump. For more information, see the SensiCLĒNE™ page.
HSI의 염소 센서는 시약이나 폐기물 흐름이 필요하지 않으므로 유지 보수 및 설치 비용이 절감됩니다. Hach CL-17과 같은 비색 시스템은 매달 시약을 보충하고 펌프 및 광학 부품을 주기적으로 교체해야 합니다. 이들은 문제를 해결하기가 어려울 수 있으며, 튜브는 교체가 필요한 바이오 파울링의 영향을받습니다. 시약 및 부품은 연간 600 달러와 노동력을 초과 할 수 있습니다.
Most competitor amperometric sensors often still require membranes and electrolyte and so do not reduce maintenance or water waste. Unlike the MP5™, at time of writing no other amperometric chlorine sensor is approved for NSF-61 usage in drinking water without a required waste stream.
Halogen’s MP5™ is the only amperometric chlorine sensor approved for NSF-61 usage. it can be installed as a side-stream unit, directly in a pipe, or submerged in a tank with no required waste stream. This makes the MP5™ a good foundational component for drinking water applications such as remote reservoir monitoring, or dead-end water aging analytics.
HSI’s sensor measures five different parameters every minute: TRO, Oxidation Reduction Potential-ORP, pH, Salinity, and Temperature. The sensor uses these measurements to compensate for changes detected in the water source. While the pH of seawater does not change much, in brackish or freshwater, the pH can change drastically. Even when used in freshwater, the sensor can use conductivity measurement to compensate for signal changes. In addition, the temperature sensor allows the sensor to make compensation for all the parameters over -2 ° to 35 °C. These readings enable the sensor to operate and deliver accurate readings in virtually any water condition that a ship may encounter.
Our sensor’s electrochemical stabilization technique is unique. We use this technique to prevent the passivation of the electrodes. Passivation due to organic poisoning is a frequent problem with bare electrode amperometric sensors. This approach enables our chlorine sensor to stabilize and provide accurate readings, usually within one to two minutes. In contrast, our competitor’s bare electrode sensors require up to 24 hours after starting up for reliable readings.
Our sensor measures water at velocities from zero to 4.5 meters per second with less than a 5% change in signal. It can accomddddplish this thanks to its integrated pump. HSI has the only total residual chlorine sensor capable of direct insertion into a pipe.
폐기물 흐름이 필요 없어 설치 및 유지 보수가 간소화됩니다. 그림 2에 표시된 Hot Tap 버전을 사용하면 배관을 배수할 필요 없이 배관에서 센서를 제거할 수 있습니다. Hot Tap 설치 방법은 샘플링 펌프, 스위칭 밸브, 샘플링 라인 및 샘플 여과를 사용하지 않습니다. 이 방법은 설치 비용을 크게 낮춥니다.
Halogen uses a unique pH cartridge in its chlorine sensor system. The pH cartridge can withstand 10 bar to -0.7 bar pressures and rapidly wets if allowed to dry out, with its accuracy restored within 3 minutes. HSI is the only company with this type of pH electrode designed with these specifications in an amperometric chlorine analyzer. It does not require calibration for a year or affmore, and the cartridges last two years.
Halogen Systems Inc.의 이 새로운 기술에 대한 연구 및 개발로 인해 다섯 개의 미국 특허, 두 개의 한국 특허, 한 개의 중국 특허 및 기타 출원 중이 인정되었습니다. 당사의 염소 센서는 거의 모든 유형의 물에서 발견되는 총 잔류 산화제(TRO)를 측정하기 위한 기존 기술의 많은 한계를 극복했습니다.
