ChargeSense - Charge Analyzer
Pi’s Charge Analyzer is used for determining charge demand at the wet end of a paper machine, accurately measuring colloidal and ionic charge using the streaming current principle (electrokinetic charge), which is comparable to zeta potential. Charge demand is determined with polyelectrolyte titration to the isoelectric point, either manually or by use of an automatic titrator. Pi’s ChargeSense Charge Analyzer is intuitive, flexible and gives great repeatable charge demand determinations time after time. Using a larger sample than its competitors ChargeSense gives extremely precise and reproducible results.
The ChargeSense is a portable laboratory/field instrument capable of giving a titrated charge demand determination in just a few minutes. ChargeSense is:
- Easy and intuitive to use
- Auto titrating both cationic and anionic
- Easy to clean between titrations
- Better and cheaper than its competitors
A very important feature is the large sample size capacity which allows the user to accurately titrate samples of varying sizes using undiluted coagulant (requires micro-pipette), which is the recommended method when feeding PolyDADMAC. Large samples provide for more accurate results and one more representation of the charge demand.
Standard Features- LabTrac – accompanying software for extracting and analyzing titration data
- Sample volume range of 200-2000ml for greatest accuracy
- Sensitivity adjustment for highly conductive samples
- Measures charge and charge demand
- Sturdy housing for easy mobility, quick set-up, and bench-top stability
- Low maintenance, improved reliability
- Detachable probe and piston to facilitate cleaning and prevent corrosion
- Gain control to amplify low level signals
- Zero offset to customize data sets
- Clear display
- Adjustable stand
In addition to the features listed above, the ChargeSense Charge Analyzer has the following additional features:
- Built-in titrator, two titrant pumps
- Cationic and anionic titration
- pH measurement
- Temperature measurement
Titration – The ChargeSense is equipped with two titrant pumps allowing for automatic switching between cationic and anionic titrants depending on the sample’s charge.
pH Adjustment – Knowing the pH of the samples, the titrate can give more information to the well informed papermaker. pH measurement is included on ChargeSense.
