The Chlorine Dioxide Analyzers can be used for whatever water applications where chlorine dioxide residuals need to be monitored and/or controlled. They consist of a HydroACT multi-parameter analyzer, a chlorine dioxide probe sensor, and a sample flow cell.
There are options for the HydroACT configurations depending on how many sensor inputs are necessary, output and communication needs, and control requirements.
Standard flow cells are for a single probe. There are also options for two and three probe flow cells.
The HydroACT Chlorine Dioxide Analyzer standard configuration includes version HA2 analyzer, 1 sensor, 1 analog output, and 1 year
consumables. Optional features include relays, digital inputs, digital comms, expanded number of sensor inputs and analog outputs, color display, and data
download capability. Maximum I/O capabilities and certain features are specific to the different versions of HydroACT as detailed below.

Having accurate, reliable, and real-time chlorine monitoring, both in the water treatment plant, and in the distribution system, is critical.
The Chemtrac Chlorine Analyzers take online disinfection monitoring to a new level of rleiability. They are accurate, pH independent, and offer a low cost of ownership with a full 12 months between maintenance events. These analyzers are suitable for regulatory reporting purposes when used in compliance with EPA Method 334.
Properly assembling the chlorine sensor is critical to the operation of the chlorine analyzer. This video demonstrates the appropriate way to set up the probe with the electrolyte, and the membrane cap. And this procedure also applies to other membrane-covered sensors, such as total chlorine, chlorine dioxide, chlorite, and ozone.
The chlorine sensor flow cell is designed to direct the proper sample flow past the membrane in order to ensure accurate and consistent results. This flow cell is also used with a variety of membrane-covered sensors such as free chlorine, total chlorine, chlorine dioxide, chlorite, and ozone.
A Water Treatment Plant in Auburn, AL has the need to monitor free chlorine onsite, as well as at remote locations in the distribution system, where they do not want to have to use reagents. They fist ordered a Chemtrac Reagent-less Free Chlorine analyzer in 2009, and have since purchased several more for other monitoring locations.
