Physicochemical Parameter Sensor
Focused Photonics Inc. (FPI) advances water quality assurance with its Physicochemical Parameter Sensors, offering precise, real-time detection of COD, chlorophyll-a, blue-green algae, ions, residual chlorine, and turbidity in rivers, lakes, and wastewater. The SIA and sensor series employ UV absorbance, fluorescence, ISE, and light scattering technologies for compliance with ISO 7027, GB 3838-2002, and EPA Method 415.3.
Hydrological Detection Principles
Physicochemical parameter sensors detect organic/inorganic species through absorbance, fluorescence, and scattering spectra. FPI’s sensors use UV absorbance at 254 nm for COD (0-1000 mg/L, ±0.1 mg/L), fluorescence at 680 nm for chlorophyll-a (0-50 μg/L, ±0.01 μg/L) and blue-green algae, ISE for ions/residual chlorine (0-10 mg/L, ±0.05 mg/L), and laser scattering for turbidity (0-1000 NTU, 1 NTU resolution), per ISO 7027.
