A hyperspectral VIS sensor, like the TriOS VIPER, measures water quality by analysing the light attenuation and transmission between 360–750 nm. This enables precise, real-time detection of colour, organic compounds, and spectral absorption coefficients (SAC) crucial parameters for ensuring drinking water safety, environmental monitoring, and process control. Unlike single-parameter sensors, VIPER provides full-spectrum data across multiple wavelengths, utilising advanced LED technology. It requires no reagents or sampling, making it ideal for automated, low-maintenance deployments. If you're monitoring water colour, SAC, or actual Pt-Co values, the VIPER is the best choice for accuracy and reliability.
The TriOS VIPER measures hyperspectral attenuation and transmission from 360 to 750 nm, offering precise water quality analysis across multiple parameters. Built with energy-efficient LED technology, it ensures stable performance, long service life, and versatile applications in environmental monitoring, drinking water assessment, and petrochemical processes.
