At WWEM in November, OptiCal will present the Pamas range of particle counters and particle measuring systems to detect low levels of solid contamination in water

Particle counting systems for use in fluids like oil, hydraulics, pharmaceuticals and cleaning reagents are well known.

The WaterViewer from Pamas measures raw-water and drinking water, used and waste-water, for process and quality control.

The WV works on-line with an integrated cleaning system, allowing extended service intervals.

The system gives alarms on marginal values or faulty functions.

For this there are options for networking and SMS alarms over a GSM phone.

The particle counting uses an extremely sensitive analytical method, since 100 spherical particles at the size of 10 microns in a 100 ml sample are equivalent to only 0.5 ppb.
