NO REAGENTS REQUIRED

ORTHO BEAM TECHNOLOGY

The UV1 Organics Sensor, when combined with a HydroACT analyzer, provides online continuous organics monitoring utilizing a 254 nm ultraviolet light source. The amount of light absorbed provides an ongoing indication of natural organic matter (NOM) in a flowing sample, and serves as a continuous surrogate measurement for total organic carbon (TOC). The patent pending Ortho-Beam technology provides many significant advantages while maintaining affordability. The sensor’s unique ability to automatically detect and compensate for UV lamp fluctuations and quartz fouling, minimizes losses in accuracy over time and reduces maintenance.

Overview

The UV1 Organics Sensor, when combined with a HydroACT analyzer, provides online continuous organics monitoring utilizing a 254 nm ultraviolet light source. The amount of light absorbed provides an ongoing indication of natural organic matter (NOM) in a flowing sample, and serves as a continuous surrogate measurement for total organic carbon (TOC). More specifically, UV254 is the best detector of aromatic or reactive organics, which when combined with chlorine, can form disinfection byproducts (DBPs). The patent pending Ortho-Beam technology provides many significant advantages while maintaining affordability. The sensor’s unique ability to automatically detect and compensate for UV lamp fluctuations and quartz fouling, minimizes losses in accuracy over time, and significantly reduces maintenance.

Q & A’s

The Chemtrac UV1 UV254 Organics Monitor is designed for continuous online monitoring of organic matter in water using a 254 nm ultraviolet light source. It provides a surrogate measurement for total organic carbon (TOC) by detecting natural organic matter (NOM) in water samples

The UV254 measurement involves passing UV light at a wavelength of 254 nm through a water sample. Organic compounds in the sample absorb some of this light, and the amount absorbed is measured to determine the presence of organic matter.

Key applications include monitoring organics removal in water treatment, detecting changes in coagulant demand, optimizing UV disinfection systems, and monitoring potential for disinfection by-products (DBPs) formation.

UV Transmittance (UVT) is the percentage of UV light that passes through the water sample, while UV Absorbance (UVA) measures the amount of UV light absorbed by the sample. Both parameters are used to assess water quality.

The UV1 monitor uses Ortho-Beam technology, which automatically detects and compensates for UV lamp fluctuations and quartz fouling, ensuring consistent accuracy over time.

The UV1 monitor requires minimal maintenance due to its Ortho-Beam technology, which reduces the need for frequent cleaning. An automatic cleaning system is also available as an optional feature.

The monitor provides a 4-20 mA analog output, which can be configured for either UVT or UVA measurements. It also includes RS232 for data logging and dry-contact terminals for alarm conditions.

The UV1 monitor uses a low-pressure mercury UV lamp with an expected life of about 2 years.
