Transmitters & Sensors Description
Why Choose This Sensor for Disinfection Monitoring
In water disinfection processes, inaccurate residual chlorine or chlorine dioxide measurement can lead to insufficient sterilization or excessive chemical dosing. This sensor is designed to address these challenges by providing stable, precise, and reliable measurements under real operating conditions.
For water utilities, system integrators, and OEM manufacturers, the sensor offers:
High measurement accuracy even at low concentration levels
Fast response time for real-time process control
Reduced operational costs due to low maintenance and reagent-free design
Long-term continuous operation with minimal intervention
Residual Chlorine/chlorine Dioxide Sensor Measurement Technology & Performance
The sensor adopts a Swiss membrane-covered amperometric measurement principle with a three-electrode system, ensuring high selectivity and stable signal output. Integrated Pt1000 temperature sensing enables automatic temperature compensation, while pH compensation further improves measurement accuracy in varying water conditions.
A dedicated flow cell design ensures that measurement results are not affected by changes in flow velocity or pressure, making the sensor suitable for continuous online monitoring.
Technical Advantages
Three-electrode amperometric measurement system
Automatic temperature compensation via Pt1000 sensor

What disinfectants can this sensor measure?
This sensor is designed to measure residual chlorine (HOCl) and chlorine dioxide (ClO₂), making it suitable for common disinfection processes in drinking water and industrial water treatment systems.
How does the sensor maintain accuracy under changing water conditions?
The sensor uses a membrane-covered amperometric principle with a three-electrode system, combined with automatic temperature compensation and pH compensation to ensure stable and accurate measurements under varying conditions.
Is the measurement affected by flow rate or pressure changes?
No. The sensor is used with a dedicated flow cell, which isolates the measurement from variations in flow velocity and pressure, ensuring consistent and reliable readings during continuous operation.
Does the sensor require chemical reagents or frequent maintenance?
The sensor operates without chemical reagents and is designed for long-term use. Under normal conditions, it can operate continuously for at least nine months without maintenance, reducing operating costs.
How fast does the sensor respond to concentration changes?
After polarization is completed, the sensor responds to changes in disinfectant concentration in less than 30 seconds, making it suitable for real-time monitoring and control applications.
Can this sensor be integrated into OEM or automated monitoring systems?
Yes. Instrava provides OEM and customization support, allowing the sensor to be integrated into analyzers, control panels, and automated water monitoring systems with engineering assistance throughout the project.
