PARAMETERS
Algae, Chlorophyll a
Overview
Real Tech’s algae sensor offers an affordable real-time monitoring solution for rapid detection at the plant intake. The AL series algae sensor uses long life LED light sources for measurement. Maintenance is low with the automatic chemical cleaning system that is configurable for on-site cleaning demands. The Real Controller provides easy integration to PLCs and plant SCADA systems using a 4-20 mA output signal or Modbus.
- Rapid screening for algae in source water
- Outputs as algae (cells per mL) or chlorophyll a (μg per L)
- Long life LED light sources
- Optional automatic chemical cleaning lowers maintenance
- Available as a panel providing easy install and operation
- Connects with Real Tech’s Liquid Ai services platform
