Online Water Analyzer from Process Instruments (Pi)
Measuring total alkalinity with a total alkalinity monitor brings automation benefits such as controlling cooling towers and ensuring sufficient alkalinity for coagulation to take place during water treatment.
Measuring total alkalinity online with a total alkalinity monitor offers several advantages over periodic offline measurements, for example facilitating more consistent control of conditions in cooling towers to remain within the ideal range for the Langelier Saturation Index. It also ensures adequate alkalinity for coagulation during water treatment and maintains appropriate alkalinity levels in pool water.
Until recently, total alkalinity monitors have been expensive and complex to operate and maintain. AlkaSense, through its innovative application of an online conductivity sensor for primary measurements, presents a more cost-effective and simpler maintenance solution.
In traditional setups, total alkalinity monitors determine alkalinity by titrating a sample with an acid until it reaches a specific pH level. This method primarily relies on accurate pH measurements. However, maintaining pH sensors for precise readings involves frequent cleaning, calibration, and eventual replacement, which can lead to considerable operational costs and maintenance demands. The process underscores the challenges and expenses associated with pH-based online alkalinity monitors.
