Follow zinc at a representative effluent sample point and investigate changing loads.
Online zinc measurement with the 3S colourimetric analyser and PMA application support.
PMA helps operators select zinc monitoring around the sample and the operating decision. The analyser carries out repeated colourimetric tests, making changes easier to compare with production activity, treatment settings and laboratory checks.
Confirm the zinc fraction, range and sample preparation in the specification. Do not assume a direct dissolved measurement is equivalent to a total-zinc result after digestion.
Follow zinc at a representative effluent sample point and investigate changing loads.
Compare the trend with treatment conditions and reference samples.
Review solids, other metals and the sample matrix when confirming method suitability.
Zinc reacts with zincon in a buffered alkaline solution to form a blue complex. The analyser measures the developed colour to calculate the zinc result 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.
Send the expected concentration range, required reporting fraction, sample source and available laboratory results. Include information about solids, other metals and any treatment chemicals present.
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.
