Objective
The industrial objective is to provide process industry with an economic range of sensors and probes for in-process liquid and sludge monitoring in aggressive production and effluent discharge environments. Analytes being monitored include monovalent and divalent cations and anions including pH measurement, chlorine and other measurements relevant to process and environment.
The products which have resulted from the Project, although completely in synergy with each other from an exploitation and marketing point of view can be subdivided into various sub-components to facilitate understanding. These are as follows:
(a) pH Electrodes using newly developed state of the art reference systems and newly developed sensing glasses which can withstand the rigours both physical and chemical of process measurement and control.
(b) A range of Ion Selective Electrodes which enhance the current state of the art specifically for Nitrate, Fluoride, and Copper in a number of process applications.
(c) The Reset System which is designed to facilitate the communication from all of the above mentioned Sensors by RS485 from sensor to a PC. It also facilitates the multiplexing of these signals, galvanic isolation, analog and digital inputs and outputs, analog and digital conversion and the control of the process by PC.
All of the above have been successful, prototypes have been manufactured and in some cases are operational and fully functional from a technical viewpoint for up to 12 months. Brochures and other marketing material, both technical and commercial is now in preparation and detailed information can be had on any of the developed products from the contacts below.
Technological innovations required include ionophore developmen, glass membrane sensor development, fluid kinetic appraisal for improvement of current liquid kinetics. Additional Research & Development would include the development of relevant software for interphasing of sensors with transmitters. Studies on properties of materials for use in both sensors and probes to give greater flexibility of use in aggressive environments, innovative preamplification systems, all of which will take cognisance of production costs, end user prices, availability of explosion proof options and the ever demanding chemical requirements of both process and effluent monitoring in aggressive environments spanned over a range of industries.
