“Why do we measure”<br />

oxi::lyser<br />

In drinking water applications the oxi::lyser is mainly used in<br />

early warning systems detecting problems in raw water quality:<br />

Reduced dissolved oxygen concentrations are often an indicator<br />

for harmful microbial or chemical contaminations of the water.<br />

Applied in natural waters or on fi sh farms the oxi::lyser <strong>can</strong><br />

detect anaerobic conditions, which are life threatening aquatic<br />

organisms, and thus it helps to prevent ecological as well as economic<br />

damage.<br />

pH::lyser<br />

<strong>Drinking</strong> water suppliers use the pH::lyser for the continuous process<br />

monitoring and control of chemical and physical treatment<br />

steps that are characterised by changes in pH, such as neutralisation,<br />

fl occulation or mixing of source waters. Furthermore, the<br />

pH::lyser is applied in early warning systems that monitor source<br />

water quality, both in ground and surface water.<br />

redo::lyser<br />

In drinking water treatment the redo::lyser is used mainly for<br />

process monitoring and control of treatment steps that result in<br />

signifi <strong>can</strong>t changes of the oxidation-reduction potential. Besides<br />

this, the redo::lyser is also applied as a component in early warning<br />

systems that monitor source water quality, both in ground and<br />

surface water.<br />

condu::lyser<br />

The condu::lyser is used for quality control in drinking water production<br />

and distribution. From source to tap the electrical conductivity<br />

of the drinking water is an essential parameter indicating<br />

the level of salts dissolved and thus the purity of the water.<br />

chlori::lyser<br />

When drinking water is disinfected through chlorination it is necessary<br />

to continuously control the actual free chlorine level. This<br />

is crucial in the fi rst place to ensure effi cient disinfection and secondly<br />

to prevent regrowth of microorganisms in the fi nished water.<br />

For these two tasks it is necessary to carefully process control the<br />

level of free chlorine, also in order to prevent the concentration of<br />

harmful disinfection byproducts that <strong>can</strong> be formed in the presence<br />

of chlorine.<br />
