Distribution-Wide Water Quality Intelligence
A technical overview of continuous, spatially distributed sensing of disinfectant chemistry and pressure — and its integration with EPANET / EPANET-MSX hydraulic and water-quality models. Covers the measurement gap in distribution, network-wide nitrification prediction, contamination detection, NJ S2188 minimum-residual compliance, and containing boil-water advisories.

See Your Whole Distribution System — A Brief for Utility Leaders
A plain-language brief for utility decision-makers on how a network of continuous, self-powered water-quality and pressure sensors protects water quality, meets new minimum-residual rules like NJ S2188, contains boil-water notices, and lowers operating cost.

Chlorine Analyzers Waste 6.1 Billion Gallons of Non-Revenue Water
Traditional sensors waste 70,000–138,000 gallons of treated water per sensor per year. Across the U.S. this totals 6.1 billion gallons annually. The MP-5F eliminates this entirely with direct in-pipe installation.

MP-5F: A New Standard in Accuracy
Calibrated once at pH 8.0, sensors in Halogen’s test stayed within ±4% (spec: ±5%) as pH varied from 6.5 to 8.5, temperature from 10–35°C, and conductivity from 156–10,000 µS. Limit of detection 30 ppb (0.03 ppm).

Sensors Are the Missing Link for Legionella Control
Legionella causes more hospitalizations than carbon monoxide yet buildings rarely monitor water quality continuously. This paper explains why existing sensors fail in hot water systems and how the MP-HOT changes that.

Monochloramine Measurement, Without Reagents
A continuous, reagent-free approach to measuring free chlorine and monochloramine on the same sensor — and the new control strategy it enables for chloraminating plants. Covers species-ambiguity problems with DPD Total, the nitrification cascade from ammonia-forward operation, and a chlorine-forward control method made possible by the MP-TOTAL.

Demand-Based Flushing with AMI & Water Quality Sensors
How the City of Gainesville, GA integrated Halogen MP5-A sensors (current model: MP-5F) with Sensus AMI infrastructure to enable condition-triggered automatic flushing. 99.875% sensor uptime over 6 months at 184 PSI.

ORP versus Amperometry for Chlorine Measurement
A detailed technical comparison of ORP and amperometric measurement methods for Total Residual Oxidant. Covers ORP electrode poisoning, ±30% concentration error, logarithmic response limitations, seawater baseline variability, and why amperometry is the correct choice for quantitative control.
By Halogen Systems Inc.
New Alternatives to Online DPD Instruments for TRO Measurement in BWMS
ACT-evaluated amperometric TRO sensor technology for ballast water management systems. Reagent-free, flow-independent, DNV Type Approved — with third-party precision data, cost comparisons, and field test results showing 1.2 years of maintenance-free operation.
