Monitoring water quality: Online and continuously

The Type 8905 Online Analysis System reliably supplies you with all the key measured values and thus ensures your water quality.

Everything at a glance

Process monitoring plays an essential role in water treatment. Be it water treatment plants, pharmaceutical companies or food and beverage manufacturers: Applicable regulations to ensure high water quality must always be observed. To do so, many plant operators monitor their treatment process continuously. Bürkert’s Online Analysis System makes this task easy. You therefore have full sight of your water and the costs involved at all times.

Reliable online analysis for water parameters

Water is the basis of all life. And there is a growing scarcity of this vital resource on our planet. Giving a growing world population access to clean water is becoming increasingly difficult. To be able to provide water with a certain degree of purity, you need measurement devices for the reliable online analysis of physical, chemical and microbiological parameters.

Multi-parameter - clever sensors simplify the task of measuring water quality

Miniaturised sensor elements are the innovative heart of the online analysis system, which also enables multi-parameterisation. Simply insert the ultra-compact sensor cubes into your system and measure your water parameters. Thanks to the hot-swap function, you can also remove the cubes for cleaning and replace them while the system is in operation.

All measuring parameters at a glance

Chlorine fights harmful microorganisms and disinfects drinking water. The sensor cube for chlorine measurement requires less than six litres of water per measuring process. Unlike conventional solutions, it measures without electrolytes - which makes it low-maintenance. The measuring cell only needs to be replaced every two to three years. Independent of pressure and flow, it also measures in a particularly stable fashion. Discover more about the functions and advantages of our Type MS02 sensor cube.

The pH-value is an indicator of the balance in drinking water. Thanks to ISFET technology (ion-sensitive field-effect transistors), measurements with the sensor cube reduce your maintenance and calibration costs. You receive stable long-term measurements, especially for drinking water applications. Discover more about the advantages of the MS01 sensor cube now.

Iron is measured to remove highly reactive oxidising contents. Use the fully automated and miniaturised measurement method for this task. The flow injection analysis measures iron intermittently. The sensor uses a barcode to clearly and unmistakably identify reagents. Its low reagent consumption makes the sensor very economical.

The ORP value (oxidation reduction potential, in short "redox") determines the water quality, for example the contamination of the surface water or the bacterial metabolism. The ORP measurement via sensor cube is easy-to-operate and maintain, the sample water flow rate is minimal and the operating duration long. Discover more about the functions and advantages of Type MS04.

Turbidity is the indicator of undissolved water content and suspended solids. The sensor cube measures the turbidity in accordance with applicable standards and directives. With cuvette measurements, expenditure for water preparation is low. As only a small amount of sample water is required, the measurement quickly reacts to changes in the sample water. Discover more about the functions of our MS05 sensor cube.

Conductivity provides information about undissolved substances in water, such as minerals. The modular, maintenance-free sensor cube is particularly suitable for the measurement of drinking water. It requires a minimum flow of sample water, is easy-to-operate and features a resistive 2-electrode sensor. Discover more about the functions and advantages of our Type MS03 sensor cube.

The SAC value is an indicator of dissolved organic matter in water and is measured by absorption measurement at a wavelength of 254 nanometres. This measurement parameter increases safety both for you and the end user. At the same time, thanks to an LED light source, the sensor has a long service life and long maintenance intervals thanks to nano-coated glasses.

A high nitrate content in drinking and process water impairs water quality and may pose a safety risk for the end customer. For this reason, it is necessary to monitor the threshold values with a high level of nitrate pollution in the groundwater. This is performed by means of an absorption measurement at different wavelengths to ensure a stable measurement at all times. Nano-coated lenses guarantee long maintenance intervals and a long service life for the sensor.

Analyse water simply and accurately – a compact measurement and monitoring system

Bürkert’s Type 8905 Online Analysis System allows you to monitor all key water parameters continuously and accurately without excessive maintenance – in a single compact system. Distributed across your process, it is possible to connect up to 30 sensors to just one device.

Modular – adapted to your plant and application

Do you want to be flexible in terms of location?

Utilise the online analysis system as a decentralised field unit

Online-Analyse-System als dezentral montierte Feldeinheit

The integrated fieldbus unit communicates with the central PLC, where all the parameters are evaluated. The different sensor cubes vary according to the number and type of parameters being measured. The individual field units of Type 8904 can, as required, be assembled in a decentralised manner at any point in the process.

Your added value for the online analysis of water parameters

In conventional systems, samples are taken manually, analysed and documented. Using the Online Analysis System, this takes place automatically and continuously. The consumption of water and sample water as well as the space required also differ considerably. When will you change over to a water analysis system with added value?
