System for on-line monitoring of chlorine in water
The Analytical Technology Model Q45H is designed for on-line monitoring and control of the chlorination of water supply systems: it uses no costly reagents and features automatic pH compensation
Scoring highly in each area, ATi was recognised for its promptness of design approval, quotation reply and programme delivery.
Additionally, the project has raised no Non Conformance Reports (NCR) or Health and Safety Executive findings and the performance of the monitor dictates that there is no need for Early Warning Notices.
ATi supplies its Q45/62 Residual Chlorine Monitors for use across close to 100 sites at United Utilities under a framework agreement.
United Utilities manages and operates the regulated electricity distribution, water and wastewater networks in North West England.
The ATi Q45H chlorine monitoring system achieves cost-effective and environmentally friendly on-line monitoring and control of chlorination in water.
It utilises a membrane-covered polarographic sensor that does not require the addition of costly chemical reagents.
The sensor has a response around 10 times higher than that of conventional sensors at high pH values.
This means that the monitor can be used reagent-free over all the pH values found in the UK water industry.
Michael Strahand, General Manager Europe at ATi, comments: "We are delighted to receive the Quarterly Best Instrument Supplier Award from United Utilities.
This recognition reflects our commitment to working closely with utility companies in order to improve water quality across the UK".
Lorraine Morton, Category Lead - Services at United Utilities, said: "ATi specialises in chlorine residual analysers, which perfectly suited our applications.
We have found the ATi monitors to be a viable option providing quality, good price and whole life costing benefits to United Utilities, and we are pleased to reward this with the Best Instrument Supplier award". Request a free brochure from Analytical Technology ...
