Solutions for liquid analysis
Competence in dissolved oxygen measurement A solution for every industry – this is dissolved oxygen measurement from Endress+Hauser. The range spans from
controlling the aeration of activated sludge basins in wastewater treatment and residual oxygen measurement in power station boiler feedwater, to controlling fermentation
in food processing and optimizing color and taste in the production of red wine. Two types of technology are deployed in sensory measuring technology: the well-known
and tried-and-tested amperometry - here oxygen concentrations are converted to electric currents - and the optical method of fluorescence quenching which is relatively
new in process measuring technology.
Here, the fluorescing light of an oxygensensitive molecule is used to determine the concentration. In the transmitter, the signals are processed further for the desired display.
How does the medium get to the sensor?
In immersion operation, such as in open basins or channels, the sensor is suspended in the medium from an immersion assembly and the medium flows around it. In closed
pipe systems, a flow assembly is often used in bypass operation while tanks are accessed via stationary-mounted retractable assemblies. The latter allow the sensor to be
removed even if the tank is full. every production area, Endress+Hauser has achieved a great vertical range of production. As a result, the client receives high and constant product
quality as well as excellent delivery reliability for all standard products and for individual products tailored to suit special applications. Measuring technology
from Endress+Hauser stands for reliable measured values, a high degree of availability and long operating times.

One of the most well known applications of oxygen measuring technology in liquids can be found in the activated sludge basin in wastewater treatment. Here oxygenation in the basin must be regulated - too little oxygen means too little degradation, too much oxygen means high energy costs.
Channels and open basins are the domain of the oxygen sensor mounted in the immersion assembly. The immersion assembly means that the sensor can be installed in such a way that only the sensing part is in contact with the medium. Modules such as the cable gland are protected and dry within the assembly pipe. The assembly itself can be immersed into the medium using a chain and boom or mounted directly on the edge of the basin in the event of high fluid velocities. The transmitter is mounted under the weather protection cover at the upright post, which also forms the boom for the assembly chain – all in one place.
