Chlorine Dioxide

HydroACT Series

The HydroACT Reagentless Chlorine Dioxide Analyzer is one of our online disinfection monitoring solutions. Just like with the other HydroACT series products, our Chlorine Dioxide (ClO2) sensor is simple to install, and extremely reliable. The membrane covered probe is exceptionally stable for chlorine dioxide measurement, and requires no zero calibration. The vented flow cell allows for ideal sample flow to give the best detection results. Not needing reagents, the system requires minimal maintenance, and hence has lower overall lifetime costs than competitors’ products. The analyzer can be used for simple monitoring, as well as for controlling the Chlorine Dioxide dosage and maintaining the target residual.

HydroACT analyzers and controllers offer versatile solutions for your disinfection monitoring needs, with the flexibility to accept additional sensors, as well as offering expandable I/O, and PID control loops.

  • Description

    The Chlorine Dioxide Analyzers can be used for whatever water applications where chlorine dioxide residuals need to be monitored and/or controlled. They consist of a HydroACT multi-parameter analyzer, a chlorine dioxide probe sensor, and a sample flow cell.

    There are options for the HydroACT configurations depending on how many sensor inputs are necessary, output and communication needs, and control requirements.

    Standard flow cells are for a single probe. There are also options for two and three probe flow cells.
