Real Tech - Model AL Series -Algae Sensor
Real Tech’s bypass Algae sensor provides an affordable screening tool to monitor and alarm for source water quality changes. Designed with patented technology, the AL series offers multiple sensor path length selections to meet the desired measurement range for monitoring algae (cells per mL) or chlorophyll a (μg per L). Parameter(s): Algae, Chlorophyll a.
- Affordable, real-time screening for algae in source water
- Outputs as algae or chlorophyll a
- Patented technology to provide superior measurement performance
- Operator friendly, low maintenance design
- Quick and simple optical measurements
- Long life LED technology
- Reagent free operation
Real Tech’s bypass Algae sensor is a cabinet style instrument installed directly on a wall, railing or system backboard. Sample is supplied to the sensor from a pressurized source or alternatively, from an open-channel using an accessory pumping/cleaning system. The sensor must be connected to a Real Tech controller for operation.
