In the daily operation of water treatment plants, monitoring the residual chlorine content is like an "invisible war" to safeguard the safety of residents' water usage. However, the traditional methods of residual chlorine detection come with a multitude of headaches. As a chlorine sensor Manufacturer, we are here to elaborate on these issues and present a practical water quality monitoring solution!
1. Daily Calibration
The traditional detection method is as finicky as an "obsessive - compulsive disorder" patient. Its electrodes need to be calibrated daily. Imagine that maintenance personnel have to spend a great deal of time and energy calibrating the electrodes every day, just like taking care of a temperamental pet, leaving no room for the slightest mistake. One maintenance worker complained, "This is more tiring than taking care of a pet!" The daily repetitive and cumbersome calibration work not only increases the workload of maintenance personnel but also easily affects the calibration accuracy due to human - operation errors. Statistics show that in some water treatment plants, maintenance personnel spend up to 1 - 2 hours a day on electrode calibration, which invisibly reduces work efficiency.
2. Prone to Interference
The traditional detection method also has a "phantom perception" problem. In tap water, besides residual chlorine, there may be other oxidants such as ozone and chlorine dioxide. These oxidants can interfere with the detection of residual chlorine, causing the sensor to falsely report excessive residual chlorine. It's like a security scanner misidentifying other items as dangerous ones and issuing false alarms. Research indicates that in some water treatment plants using ozone or chlorine dioxide for disinfection, the false - alarm rate of traditional residual chlorine sensors can reach 10% - 15%. Such false alarms not only make the staff unnecessarily nervous but may also lead to incorrect handling measures, wasting human and material resources.
3. Short Lifespan
The traditional sensor is also a "short - lived" device. Its electrolyte can only last for about three months before it runs out. Once the electrolyte is depleted, it needs to be replaced promptly. The cost of replacing the electrolyte is like "renewing a membership," putting significant pressure on water treatment plants. The replacement of the electrolyte involves not only the purchase cost but also the labor cost and downtime cost during the replacement process. It is estimated that the cost of replacing the electrolyte accounts for 20% - 30% of the total sensor usage cost per year.
To solve these pain points, the online residual chlorine detector, the Maideshi online automatic residual chlorine sensor, has undergone a comprehensive upgrade. It adopts advanced technology, significantly reducing the frequency of electrode calibration. Thanks to the optimized electrode design, the sensor can maintain stable performance for a longer time, reducing the number of calibrations and relieving the burden on maintenance personnel. At the same time, the new sensor has strong anti - interference ability, capable of accurately distinguishing between residual chlorine and other oxidants, thus avoiding false alarms. It's like an experienced security guard who can precisely identify dangerous items and ensure the accuracy of the detection results.
In terms of the electrolyte, our sensor has also been improved. By using a more efficient electrolyte formula, the service life of the electrolyte is extended, and the replacement cost is reduced. Now, the service life of the sensor's electrolyte can reach 6 - 8 months, greatly reducing the replacement frequency and cost.
