Online ammonium measurement for source water, drinking water and wastewater, with practical support from PMA.
The 3S-CL ammonia analyser takes regular samples and develops a measurable colour in a reaction cell. It gives operators an ongoing trend between laboratory checks, whether the priority is an intake change or the performance of a treatment stage.
Agree whether results are required as nitrogen or as ammonium. Those reporting bases are different, and the calibration solution, analyser display and plant records need to use the same one.
Track changing incoming ammonia and compare the trend with abstraction conditions and laboratory samples.
Choose representative points before or after treatment to investigate changes in ammonia removal.
Match the analytical range and sample preparation to the expected effluent, including suspended material and peak loads.
The salicylate method develops a blue colour that is measured photometrically. Low, medium and higher-range configurations use different reagent arrangements, so the method and range are selected together.
The 3S-CL runs batch analyses at a programmable frequency. Automatic calibration, validation and cleaning can be scheduled, and the analyser separates its wet section from the electronics.
Agree the required range, cycle time and plant outputs when specifying the instrument. The manufacturer documentation gives the options and installation requirements for the selected configuration.
Send PMA the sample source, expected concentrations and available laboratory results. Include temperature, pressure, solids and any constituents that may affect the analysis.
We will review sample delivery, filtration or dilution where needed, drainage, reagent storage and service access. Include the required signals and alarm response so the measurement can be used by your operating team.
PMA helps you bring the analyser, sample system and site requirements together. Talk to our team about selection, commissioning, reagent supply and support for your installation.
The 3S-CL carries out repeated batch analyses at a programmable interval. It provides online results, but it is not an instantaneous in-pipe sensor. Agree the cycle time and sample transport time against the response you need.
