Two-Electrode System Peracetic Acid Sensor For All Water Treatments
High Tolerance To Chemicals
The dual-electrode system membrane peracetic acid sensor P9.3 is
used in all water treatments. It has a mechanically sturdy membrane
system, is resistant to surfactants, and has high tolerance to
chemicals. The maximum water temperature is 60°C, and the optional
range is 0~200/2000/20000 ppm.
It is a high-performance monitoring device for water treatment. Its
design and process characteristics enable it to perform well in a
variety of application scenarios. The following are its detailed
process characteristics and advantages:
Process characteristics
Dual-electrode system design
Working electrode and reference electrode: Provide stable and accurate signals through the dual-electrode
system to ensure high-precision peracetic acid detection.
Signal stability: The electrode configuration effectively reduces noise and
background interference.
Membrane separation technology
Selective permeable membrane: The sensor surface is covered with a selective membrane that
allows peracetic acid molecules to pass through while shielding
interfering substances
Enhanced durability: Protect the electrode, reduce chemical loss, and extend the
service life of the equipment.
Chemical corrosion resistance
The material is selected with high chemical corrosion resistance,
which can withstand complex chemical environments and is suitable
for a variety of water treatment scenarios, such as industrial
wastewater and highly polluted water monitoring.
Real-time online monitoring
The sensor can be directly connected to the automated monitoring
system to achieve continuous monitoring and dynamic adjustment of
the water treatment process.
Automatic temperature compensation
The built-in temperature compensation function provides consistent
test results under different water temperature conditions.
Advantages
High precision and sensitivity
The detection accuracy of low-concentration peracetic acid is high,
which is suitable for scenarios with strict water quality
requirements.
Strong anti-interference ability
The selective membrane effectively reduces the interference of
other chemicals and ensures the accuracy of the measurement data.
Low maintenance requirements
The sensor diaphragm is durable and easy to replace, the equipment
design is simple, and the maintenance cost is low.
The automatic calibration function reduces the frequency of manual
operation.
Fast response
The response time is short, and it can quickly capture water
quality changes and provide timely feedback for water treatment
process adjustments.
Environmental protection and safety
No reagents are required, which reduces the generation of chemical
waste and is environmentally friendly.
Long-term stability
High-tolerance materials and membrane design ensure the reliability
and stability of the equipment during long-term operation.
