Online nickel analysis for industrial water and wastewater, using the 3S colourimetric platform.
A repeatable nickel trend helps the operating team investigate process changes and treatment performance. PMA can review the sample conditions and expected concentrations before selecting the analyser range and any preparation equipment.
Define the fraction you need to report and any sample preparation required. A direct colourimetric result should not automatically be described as total nickel after digestion.
Review nickel trends at a suitable treatment or discharge sample point.
Assess the sample matrix, expected loading and possible interfering constituents before choosing the range.
Compare the online trend with laboratory results and process records to understand changing conditions.
Nickel reacts with dimethylglyoxime in an alkaline solution, forming a coloured complex. The analyser measures its absorbance to determine the nickel concentration for the configured method.
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.
Suitability depends on the nickel fraction, concentration and sample chemistry. Send PMA representative results and details of solids, complexing agents and other constituents so the method and preparation can be reviewed.
Speak to the PMA team about your instruments, reagents or service requirements. Tell us what you need, and we’ll help you find the right next step.
