®RDO is a registered trademark of In Situ Inc. Boulder Colorado

Principle of OperationThe sensing element (lumiphore) is activated, or excited when illuminated with a blue light. When activated, the lumiphore then emits blue light in an intensity that is inversely proportional to the amount of oxygen present in the water. There is also a time delay between the peak emission of blue light and peak response of fluoresced red light. The amount of delay is inversely proportional to the amount of oxygen present. This time delay can be expressed as a phase shift between the wave patterns of incident blue light and the fluoresced red light. This is in turn reported by the electronics into a ppm or mg/l reading of Dissolved Oxygen. The advantages of this technology are that it is more stable than traditional electrochemical devices and far more resistant to abrasion. By using the state of the art sensor and electronics together the reliability, accuracy, and flexibility of the OxySense Meter is far superior to that of its competitors.

Autoclean and Auto-verificationThe OxySense Meter is the first of its kind in the world to offer automatic in situ sensor verification as an option. The OxySense is able to reduce maintenance by automatically checking it’s sensor operation at user defined time intervals. Calibration on the In-Situ sensor is normally required only once per annum so with the automatic sensor verification option and the self clean option the sensor may not need to be inspected at all for a full year.

Principle of OperationMulti-beam TechnologyEach probe is equipped with 2 light sources and 4 detectors. Each light source uses long-life emitters (at least 20,000 operating hours), and these are turned off when not required to conserve energy and extend the life.

By using multiple light emitters and detectors in a single probe it is possible to:

• Measure solids from 0.02 NTU to 8% solids• Monitor and compensate for fouling of the optics• Monitor and compensate for aging of the optics• Measure the forward scattering of light (low NTU

values)• Measure the side scattering of light (ISO7027 requires a 90° side scatter

measurement). (NTU)• Measure transmitted light (low % solids)• Measure the back scatter of light (higher % solids)

The electronics provide a fully scalable output allowing the CRIUS® SoliSense® to measure any part, or the whole of the scale from 0.02 NTU to 8% solids. The sensor probe comes equipped with the capability of having a water jet regularly sweep over the optical lenses keeping them clean.

If you have an application that ranges from low NTU all the way to %age solids then the CRIUS® SoliSense® is certainly the monitor for you! With only 3 or 4 calibration points you can accurately monitor your process all the way from low NTU to 8% solids.

Key Benefits► Significant Cost Savings

► Better Sensors► Better Control ► Better Bathing Experience

► Reduced CO2 Emissions ► Reduced Electricity Usage

► Reduced Chemical Usage

IntroductionThe AquaSense range of pool controllers has been designed to three criteria:-

• Improved Safety - better sensors lead to better process control which leads to less variation in chlorine residuals even with highly variable bathing load.

• Improved Control - better process control leads to reduced chemical usage, lower costs and an improved bathing experience.

• Reduced Costs - lower chemical costs, less expensive controllers, hugely reduced electrical usage costs are just a few of the ways that the AquaSense can save you money which can pay for a new controller in just a few months.

SensorsTraditionally pool chemistry has been controlled by using ORP (Redox) or Residual Chlorine Sensors. The quality of the sensors has a huge effect on the ability of the controller to maintain a safe and pleasant bathing water. The sensors used in AquaSense controllers are the best available in the world today and are exactly the same sensors that are used to monitor and control drinking water in many municipal drinking water plants worldwide.

Chlorine SensorsThree sensors are available to measure; free chlorine, total chlorine, or chlorine in the presence of cyanuric acid. All of these sensors have a long life (10 years) with reduced maintenance and calibration requirements. they are very high quality and very easy to own. Being able to accurately measure the chlorine and respond to varying bathing loads means that pools and spas can operate at lower chlorine levels, reducing the formation of unpleasant combined chlorines and reducing the chemical usage, thereby reducing costs and reducing emissions, all while providing a better bathing experience.

pH and ORP SensorsThe pH and ORP sensors are made specifically for the AquaSense controllers and come with either a 12 or 18 month warranty. These AquaSense pH and ORP sensors are also exactly the same as those used in the water industry and are not the low cost, low quality sensors that are often supplied into the Pool Industry.

Remote Access & Text AlarmsMore and more pools are maintained by service professionals that are based off-site and the ability of these engineers to respond quickly and effectively to a process upset at a pool depends on them getting the correct information as soon as possible. The CRIUS® AquaSense and the CRATOS AquaSense can come equipped with their own integral GSM, GPRS or CDMA modem. This in turn allows anyone with the appropriate security level to receive text alarms relating to the chemistry in the pool or spa and also allows them to log in to the controller over the internet and perform almost any action that they could do if they were standing in front of the instrument.(For an online demonstration of this please go to www.processinstruments.net/products/remote-access-demo.php)

The highly sophisticated pro-active text alarms and remote access capability of the CRIUS® AquaSense and CRATOS AquaSense, means that:-

• Improved Communication - the right people know as soon as something happens.

• Improved Control - your expert is in your pool room no matter where they are.

• Less Time to Fix Problems - the time taken to fix any problems is greatly reduced.

• Reduced Costs - time, cost and car exhaust emissions are reduced.

"Since installing two CRIUS AquaSense in 2008, our control over the pool chemistry has

greatly improved, leading to a better bathing experience for our customers"Ron Sykes, UK

"I have installed many pool controllers over the years and the quality of the AquaSense sensors is the

best there is"Lester Simmonds, UK

"Being able to remotely access and control the AquaSense pool controller allows us to

provide a better service to our customers and a better bathing experience to theirs' "

Steve Murphy, UK


BMSMany leisure facilities are now fitted with sophisticated BMS (Building Management Systems) and all three Pool and Spa controllers are able to communicate directly to the BMS whatever system it might be. Each of the Pool and Spa controllers from Pi can come equipped with a range of communication protocols including LAN, Profibus, Modbus and more traditional analogue and digital outputs.

Save Money and the Planet!Most pool recirculating pumps are over specified for the duty required and as such there is scope to turn them down and save considerable amounts of money on the electricity usage. Whenever you save electricity you are reducing the CO2 emissions and carbon footprint of your pool and spa and for many organisation reducing CO2 emissions is a significant factor in choosing which equipmrnt to purchase. It might not save the planet but it is a good start! In order to turn down the pool recirculating pump the pump motor must be fitted with an invertor. The question then arises - on what basis do we turn the motor down?

Each pool has a minimum turnover set by the manufacturer or consultant at the time of installation. The CRIUS® or CRATOS AquaSense allows the user to turn down the recirculating pump during periods of non pool use (overnight) to the minimum level. While the pool is being used the recirculating pump motor is set based on chlorine demand

which is proportional to bathing load. This ability to control the recirculating pump based on chlorine demand means that pool operators can save significant sums of money on electricity during the day when electricity costs the most.

PolySense - Polymer Control for Sludge Dewatering

The PolySense utilizes an online measurement of the cake dry solids and an online measurement of the solids in the centrate/filtrate to control the polymer addition and the sludge feed rate, in order to optimise the process.This gives you:

• Typically 25% reduction in polymer usage• Increased cake solids

• Reduced transportation costs

• Less foaming

• Reduced solids in the centrate/filtrate

• Reduced operator reliance

• Capital payback, often in less than 18 months

"PolySense has revolutionised the dewatering of our sludge, we get drier

cake, less cost and less process upsets", David Bennett, UK

Why the Need for Automatic Polymer Control?

The ProblemThe consequences of overdosing polymer to a dewatering device such as a centrifuge are much less than the consequences of underdosing and with time pressures on operators, this inevitably leads to overdosing on most centrifuges and belt filters. This overdosing gives the operator a time ‘buffer’ against process variations.Overdosing of the polymer can lead to:-

• increased polymer costs• increased solids in the centrate• increased foaming in the centrate• decreased solids in the cake• increased transport costs per tonne of waste• increased load on the works• reduced efficiency of driers and digesters

The SolutionThe PolySense is a simple, but effective and reliable method of controlling the polymer dosing via the polymer dosing pump and in some cases the feed rate to the centrifuge. It does this by making reliable online measurements of the dry solids of the cake, and of the suspended solids in the centrate/filtrate, and in some cases the feed solids. These measurements are the key to the success of the PolySense and the suspended solids instrument includes debubbling technology and self-cleaning where required. Essentially the PolySense measures the suspended solids in the centrate (or sludge feed) and the dry solids in the cake and adjusts the polymer dosing pump, (and in some cases the feed pump), to maintain those ranges of cake solids and centrate suspended solids that produce the best outcomes for the plant. Whilst the PolySense does not monitor or control all aspects of the sludge dewatering equipment such as the speed of the centrifuge, it provides a reliable and much improved process control to the more traditional manual control.

Case HistoryIn late 2008 a compliance engineer for one of the UK Waste Water Utilities contacted Pi in order to start the process of determining the best instrumentation to control his Alfa Laval dewatering centrifuge. He had determined that by manually controlling the centrifuge and constantly making small adjustments to the poly dose he could significantly reduce his poly usage whilst maintaining the cake solids. Having determined this manually he approached Pi seeking to automate the process. This was a perfect application for the PolySense. In consultation with the engineer, it was determined that he could achieve his goals using a two point measurement system (online cake solids and online suspended solids in the centrate), with the appropriate control algorithm feeding back to the DCS that would in turn control the polymer feed pump. His total cost including installation and commissioning was £26,000 and his average reduction in poly usage was 25% giving a payback inside 18 months. “Although the financial justification for the project was based on polymer savings alone the additional benefits were significant. The reduction in Carbon Footprint is as yet unquantified but significant, and the improved consistency of cake solids has resulted in higher average

cake solids and a reduction in transportation costs. The operators have all bought in to the system and are happy that they are freed up to carry out their other duties secure in the knowledge that if anything should go wrong they will be informed via the alarms generated from the control signals. The company are now beginning the process of rolling the system out across other sites.”

Multiple Control OptionsDuring normal operation the PolySense will control the polymer to keep the Dry Solids in the cake and the Suspended Solids in the centrate to within user selectable ranges. These ranges are set up on commissioning and are likely to give a good compromise on polymer usage, cake solids and loading on the works. There are occasions, however, when reduced polymer isn’t the most important outcome. It may be that there is pressure on the works and reduced loading going back to the head of the works is more important, or perhaps the cake is being transported off-site so the driest possible cake solids is the most important outcome.Each PolySense is equipped with five sets of control settings that can be set up on commissioning to allow the operator to easily select the appropriate control setup for the plant requirements at the time. e.g.

• Normal operation• Driest cake• Cleanest centrate• Most consistent cake solids• Least polymer usage

"Using the BioSense allows us to monitor for biofilm development and then to

dose the appropriate biocide" Dr Craig Stracey, UK


Legionella Risk ManagementCooling systems and heating systems in e.g. hospitals, airports, government buildings, hotels and very large office blocks can be a source of the Legionella bacterium. The bacteria often grow in biofilms that adhere to the walls of a pipe or other vessel. The BioSense allows you to monitor for the development of this buildup and dose the appropriate chemical to reduce and disperse the biofilm prior to building up a dangerous level of Legionella.

Automatic Biocide Control Measuring the residual biocide in a body of water only tells half the story. It tells you that there is little or no biological activity in the bulk water. This doesn't necessarily mean that biofilm isn't building up on the walls of pipes and vessels with the possibility of the development of harmful bacterial colonies. The BioSense allows you to monitor the build up of that biofilm and in turn take the appropriate action AUTOMATICALLY to return the system to a clean condtion. This could be as simple as triggering an alarm for a manual intervention or as complex as increasing biocide levels or shock dosing, all controlled by the BioSense. The BioSense gives you:

• Control of system surface biological activity• Treatment effectiveness monitoring• Biocide program optimisation• Indication of a "clean" state

Biofilm - The solutionThe BioSense sensor was developed to provide on-line and real-time indication of biofilm activity on typical metallic surfaces. The probe is designed and operated so that microorganisms in the environment will settle on probe surfaces before they settle on vessel walls or piping. This gives an early warning of potentially dangerous biological activity in the process. By closely tracking biofilm activity on the probe, the BioSense can take remedial action such as increasing the dosing of a biocide or dispersant. The BioSense biofilm controller can also be used to assess the effectiveness of a treatment, or to schedule maintenance activities. By monitoring biofilm activity on surfaces very precisely, costly over-treatment can be avoided and chemical treatments can be optimised, therefore BioSense can:

• Reduce the risk of Legionella growth• Reduce the cost of chemical treatment• Reduce maintenance• Increase the efficiency of process equipment

Principle of OperationThe controller applies a potential between the probe electrodes that causes microorganisms to settle on the surface of the probe before they would settle on the surfaces of a pipe or a vessel. The biological activity of the biofilm creates a signal.

A BioSense controller collects and monitors that signal continually. An increasing trend in the signal indicates the onset of biofilm activity on the probe. The controller can then take remedial action automatically by, for example, increasing or decreasing the biocide levels.

The CRONOS BioSense is a simple controller capable of automatically changing, dosing regimes etc. With the more sophisticated CRIUS® and CRATOS controllers providing, data logging, remote access and control via GSM.

Autocalibrator - for free and total chlorine

The HaloSense Residual Chlorine Analyzer is the first of its kind in the world to offer automatic calibration as an option. Cleverly engineered and using state of the art electronics the HaloSense Autocalibrator for free and total residual chlorine is able to save customers considerable sums of money by autocalibrating at user-defined timed intervals, without the presence of an operator.

• No maintenance for up to 6 months• No calibration for up to 6 months• Low cost of ownership• Optional email/SMS text alarms

• Optional remote control via GSM/GPRS modem

"The HaloSense Autocalibrator is reliable, dependable and saves a fortune on travelling to remote sites. I am very happy with the ones I've installed." Wayne Burton, UK

Principle of OperationThe HaloSense membraned potentiostatic chrono amperometric chlorine sensor, is housed within the Autocalibrator. Its unique design means that pH effects are small and pH correction or compensation is not usually required.

The Autocalibrator enables the HaloSense Chlorine Analyzer to be operated completely unattended for up to 6 months. At user defined intervals the Autocalibrator takes a sample, removes the chlorine from it by passing it through an activated carbon filter, and then adds the appropriate amount of a chlorine solution to a fixed volume of chlorine free water. This solution of a known chlorine concentration is then passed over the sensor which is allowed to equilibrate and then the sensor is calibrated by the electronics.

In addition to the state of the art sensors the HaloSense range of controllers offers an impressive range of communication protocols including Modbus, Profibus, TCP/IP (with webserver), RS485, Relays and 4-20mA outputs. Added to the cost savings of a truly automatic (no operator present), calibration system, some will achieve a replacement payback of only a few months.

AutocalibrationWhenever a chlorine analyser is calibrated by an operator or technician there is a cost involved and risk of human error. With the HaloSense Autocalibrator the costs of getting to and from a remote site, or the risk of an operator calibrating an analyser incorrectly are eliminated.

• Calibration at unsocial hours• When reproducibility is paramount• Remote sites• Skilled personnel not required

Water Treatment• Remote sites• Automatic calibration• Chlorine dosing control• Secondary chlorination

http://www.processinstruments.net/products/chlorine-autocalibrator.php


What Safeguards are Built-in?In the event of a problem with the calibration, the system will attempt a second calibration. If that too fails then a system fail alarm is given out and the analyser will not accept the new calibration. A system fail alarm will result from any of the following;

• A change in calibration of more than 10% from the previous calibration.

• An unstable signal from the probe (the rate of change of the signal is monitored thus ensuring that any fault in the calibration process does not produce large errors in the Chlorine Residual reading).

• A sensor that doesn’t get within 5% of zero indicates a failed filter or a failing sensor.

• A low sample flow or low sample pressure will trigger an alarm.

An optional, integral GSM/GPRS modem allows the operator to be advised of an alarm immediately, and the in-built PID control provides flexible chlorine dosing control options.

Autoflush - keeping sensors cleaner for longer

Key Benefits

• Frequent flushing prevents build-up of solids

• Reduced maintenance

• Prolonged sensor life

• Suitable for pH/ORP/Cl2/O3/ClO2

• User selectable flush duration

• User selectable flush frequency

• ‘Flush now’ facility

• Simple, infrequent maintenance

Principle of OperationThe idea is simple and effective….every x minutes, (the user can adjust x) the sample drains away and the sensor and sensor housing is flushed with clean water. This water flushes the whole of the inside of the sensor housing taking away any build-up of solids to drain. The repeated flushing of the housing and sensor helps prevent the build-up of solids and so prolongs the life of the sensor and reduces the maintenance. For waxy or fatty build-ups warm water can be used to flush the sensors. As standard heavy duty pinch valves ensure reduced maintenance over a long life.

Applications• pH on paper mills• ORP in scrubbers• Chlorine in food disinfection• pH in slurries• Ozone in food washing • Pre-chlorination• Chlorine in paper mill stock • Chlorine in waste water

"The Autoflush from Pi has meant that we can now

measure chlorine applications in dirty water applications reliably which previously we couldn't",

Eddy Scott, UK
