Online Sampling Analyzer Can Analyze 20 Common Parameters

Oct. 31, 2010
The advanced CA-6 Analyzer can improve these measurements by reducing the volume of conditioning chemicals required and minimizing the associated waste.

The CA-6 Colorimetric Online Analyzer from Electro-Chemical Devices performs colorimetric or Ion Selective Electrode(ISE)-based laboratory analysis. The CA-6 precision online sequential sampling analyzer weighs less than 40 pounds. It can be wall mounted or set on a bench. The CA-6 is available with up to four channels (optional) each from a separate sample point. A menu structure and touchscreen interface is designed to make it easy to access information or customize analyses.

The CA-6 utilizes photometric differential absorbance to analyze over 20 common parameters, including: aluminum, silica, phosphate, iron and sulfate. It offers repeatability of ±2% on the absorbance value if the turbidity <80 NTU and drift of ±2% per month on the absorbance measurement. It operates in a wide temperature range of 5 to 50°C.

Several ISE-based analyses require significant sample conditioning before an accurate measurement can be made. The advanced CA-6 analyzer can improve these measurements by reducing the volume of conditioning chemicals required and minimizing the associated waste.

The CA-6 analyzer home screen displays the measured parameter, analyzer status, percent reagent volumes time and the menu Bar. The menu bar provides access to the run, display, program, service and help menus. The CA-6 includes two alarm relay outputs and a 4-20 mA channel that connects with PLC’s or distributed control systems.

The CA-6 is housed in a rugged cold-rolled steel cabinet that is epoxy powder coated. It features two separate compartments that isolate liquids and electronics. The liquids enclosure houses all the components necessary for sampling and reagent flow, mixing and reaction stages (sampling pump, reagent micro-pumps and colorimetric reaction cell). The electronics enclosure contains the main power supply, the controller printed circuit board assembly and the touchscreen interface.
