Chlorite Measurement
Global innovation: ProMinent enables online measurement of the Chlorite concentration in water. Chlorite can be generated as a by-product to water treatment with Chlorine dioxide. In many countries, it is subject to monitoring duty e.g. in municipal water works.
For this reason, Chlorite must be analyzed as a matter of routine. As determination methods so far, only laboratory methods such as ion chromatography have been considered. Beside high investment and operation costs, these methods are very supervision intensive and time intensive due to the necessary sample handling and require a high education level of the operators. The biggest advantage, however, is that the determination value is only available hours or even days after sample taking and thus reactive measures for process optimization are not possible at all or only possible with delay. Therefore, we offer the first world-wide first online measuring station for Chlorite.
