HypoSense - Online Chlorine Analyzer for Sodium Hypochlorite Monitoring
Measuring the chlorine content of bleach is difficult due to the aggressive nature of the fluid and is currently done by manual titration in a laboratory. The HypoSense allows the user to measure the chlorine content of industrial sodium hypochlorite (industrial bleach) online, continuously. Why is it necessary to measure the chlorine content of bleach online and continuously? Surprisingly the chlorine content in bleach changes more than you might think. It degrades over time and is particularly affected by the level of impurities, the chlorine content when it was manufactured, and the temperature and UV level that it is kept at. Being able to measure the chlorine content online will provide for much better process control in those applications that use bleach as a reactant.
The HypoSense offers a number of key benefits.
- Optical measurement meaning low maintenance and no reagents
- Integrated temperature compensation for stable results
- Simple pipe mounting for easy and inexpensive installation
- Fully integrated with the CRIUS®4.0 controller
- Robust and suitable for harsh environments
The HypoSense is a high quality controller giving you the best process control and the best value for money. For more technical information contact us today.
Industrial Sodium Hypochlorite manufacture –during the electrochemical manufacture of sodium hypochlorite it is difficult to know when to stop. To ensure that customers receive the guaranteed chlorine level sometimes manufacturers overrun the process giving away more chlorine than required at great expense. HypoSense allows the manufacture of industrial bleach to exact parameters saving money and time and increasing the reproducibility of the product.
Industrial Bleach as a raw material –many users of industrial bleach don’t need to know the content of the bleach they use on a continuous basis but, if that sodium hypochlorite (bleach) is used as a raw material to make another chemical such as MCA then knowing the chlorine content (0-16%) in the raw material allows that user to control their process more tightly improving safety and reducing chemical usage overall.
Beer Lamberts Law describes the relationship between a concentration of light absorbing chemical in solution and the amount of light of a particular wavelength that is absorbed. HypoSense exploits this science and measures the amount of light absorbed across the measurement path to calculate the concentration of chlorine in the hypochlorite. By measuring the temperature and using that measurement to compensate, the reading gives better accuracy under variable temperature conditions.
