Inlined Chlorine Sensor for water quality monitoring

The management and use of water require quality control to ensure integrity and assurance of water quality.

The use of disinfectant agents, such as chlorine, to minimise microbial contamination is common practice and requires specialised sensor probes to ensure adequate concentrations are present or absent where downstream processes are chlorine sensitive.

I would like to know what inlined chorine sensors you are using in water resource management?

If you have any white papers for different make of chlorine sensor, please share them and your recommendations and experiences.

1. Sensileau is a water sensor knowledge data base. On our platform we have a sensor database with 10.000 water quality sensors measering 75 different parameters, including benefits, overall cost, best practices and suppliers. Have a look at our website https://www.sensileau.app/

2. We use the Hach CL17. It's colormetric and very easy to use. 

3. On our side we do it manual so, not automatic.

4. Look at Kapta chlorine sensors from Endetec - http://www.endetec.com/en/.   The only chlorine probe on the market that can be installed in the pipe under pressure.

   1. The link is broken.  Could you update it? thanks

   2. We make the oldest sensor on the market for direct insertion since 2001, The CENSAR Six CENSE. It measures Temp, pH, ORP, CL2, NH2CL or Chlorine dioxide, DO and Conductivity.

5. Two types of chlorine sensors are available. One is designed for flow cell installation, and the other is for submersion applications. Free chlorine monitoring should always be done using a flow cell system. Good control of sample flow and pressure is important for accurate measurement. The standard constant-head flow cell should be used for most applications. A sealed flow cell and a low-volume flow cell are also available for special applications. Submersible combined chlorine sensors can sometimes be used for measuring total chlorine in wastewater effluent.

6. see www.hach.com

7. As you say the management of chlorine levels is important and there are many suppliers on the market who supply well proven equipment. You should look on the web for chlorine dosing and monitoring equipment.
