Halogen Amperometric Chlorine Sensors

The Halogen TRO Ballast Water Analyzer

Overview

A breakthrough for ballast water monitoring, The Halogen System TRO Multiple Parameter Sensor tests 5 parameters using a 3-electrode amperometric chlorine measurement. The sensor is unaffected by flow or pressure, is self-cleaning, and automatically compensates for pH. The TRO sensor utilizes Halogen’s patented RapidResponse ORP™ technology, a specialized implementation of ORP measurement that will report more consistent numbers thanks to a high resistance to poisoning.

The HSI sensor requires little to no maintenance, can be installed in a flow cell or directly in a pipe. Simple to install and inexpensive to operate, the Halogen TRO sensor is unlike any other ballast water analyzer on the market today.

Benefits of the HSI TRO Sensor

Flow Independent Measurement 

The sensor is unaffected by flow velocity changes from 0 to 4 m/s. An integrated pump that utilizes a long-lasting, brushless motor delivers a fixed velocity across the electrodes, creating flow independence in any installation. The high-velocity flow across the electrodes improves sensitivity and lowers the Signal to Noise Ratio.

Ease of Service

A Wet Tap installation method enables direct insertion into a distribution pipe. Sidestream, deployments are available. Whatever deployment, the highly integrated design reduces the electronics cost and size while increasing reliability.

SensiCLĒNE™ Patented Self-Cleaning Technology

A patented electrochemical cleaning method called SensiCLĒNE™  resists polarization and adsorption of organics.  Cleaning beads continuously abrade the sensor. This keeps the electrode surfaces, including the pH sensor, free from buildup, scaling, and biofouling. Solid metal electrodes last the life of the system. 

These features combine to enable very long intervals between calibrations.  

Easy to Monitor

An optional local Display is available for viewing parameters, troubleshooting and calibration of up to 5 separate MP5™ units.

Models and Deployment Types

MP5™ H1 Wet Tap (H1WT)

Halogen MP5™ HotTap/WetTap Sensors

The Wet Tap (or Hot Tap) housing can be deployed as a retractable direct pipe insertion for NSF-61 usage. No-leak retractor options are available. 

MP5™ H1 Mid Flange (H1MF-p)

Halogen MP5™ Sensors with PVC-tee Housing

The mid-flange housing (H1MF-P) and the associated 2″ adapter sleeve and collar kit make for an easy sidestream NSF-61 PVC Tee deployment.

H1 Low FLANGE (H1LF-P)

Halogen MP5™ Sensors with two types of flow-cell housings.

The low-flange model (H1LF-P) can be used to replace existing control-board-mounted setups or used as an NSF-61 submerged in-tank analyzer.

Amperometric Chlorine Sensors With Patented Technology to Modernize Your Testing

Bare Electrode Sensor

Amperometric Sensors have many advantages over the older membrane and reagent technology.  Halogen’s implementation of bare 3-electrode amperometric technology provides pH-stabilized measurements of Free Chlorine without introducing additional complexity to your workflow.

Self Cleaning

The old amperometric technology used by competitor sensors still requires a membrane and electrolyte to guard against sensor fouling. Such membranes are sensitive to flow and pressure spikes. Halogen’s patented SensiCLĒNE™ technology prevents fouling without introducing pressure or flow sensitivity.
