Measure phosphates in water -
0 to 10 ppm

PHOSPHATES

Phosphates can play both a positive and negative roll in the water and waste water industry:

• Phosphate is added to boiler and cooling water for corrosion control.

• Phosphate concentration in waste water must be reduced to prevent the growth of algae in the receiving body of water.

TYTRONICS'® SENTINEL

Tytronics’ Sentinel is an on-line colorimetric analyzer that measures phosphate using methods that duplicate the procedures from the Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater, APHA, AWWA, WEF. The instrument uses a batch sampling technique that allows the use of 0.25” tubing for sample lines so small amounts of solids will not affect instrument performance.

Other advantages of batch sampling are:

• Analytical results are not affected by sample and reagent flows;

• Analyses are only performed as frequently as required, minimizing reagent consumption. Features:

• Provides continuous on-line analysis of water or wastewater stream;

• Ensures maximum reliability;

• Includes self-checking for easy diagnostics;

• Minimizes sampling requirements;

• Multiple communication ports, including bidirectional RS 232.

METHODS

The Tytronics’ Sentinel can be set up to use two different analysis methods depending on sample concentration range

• For low level measurements (0 to 2 ppm, 0 to 10 ppm) we use the Ascorbic Acid Method, shown below;

• For high levels (0-60ppm, 0-100ppm) Tytronics uses the Vanadomolybdophosphoric Acid Method; please see our separate Application Sheet.

Enhanced Features of Tytronics’ Sentinel:

• Programmable from 1 to 10 methods for a single analysis compound;

• Up to 3 different calibration methods;

• Eight relay outputs, multi-programmable on each relay;

• Alarm functions, including sample flow, reagent level detection;

• From 1 to 6 stream configurations standard.
