A Kuntze client at a drinking water facility was experiencing a high level of naturally-occurring iron and manganese concentrations in their ground water source. This is a common characteristic that many water treatment markets face. These two minerals present unique challenges to online chlorine analyzer technologies because they attach to any and all surfaces that come into contact with the water – including the chlorine analyzer's acrylic flow cell chamber and measuring electrodes. As a result, operators have historically been forced to perform frequent manual cleanings of their sensors, and then re-calibrate them. These frequent re-calibrations can cause chlorine sensors to "drift."
With the help of Kuntze's chlorine bare sensor ASR® automatic sensor cleaning technology, as well as the Cloud Connect® software, the customer was able to eliminate their frequent manual maintenance on their previous analyzer, and thus increase their confidence in their remote online chlorine measurements.
