AL SERIES
Parameter(s): Algae, Chlorophyll a
Overview
Real Tech’s bypass Algae sensor offers an affordable real-time monitoring solution for rapid detection at the plant intake. This quick and simple screening tool outputs measurement as algae (cells per mL) or chlorophyll a (µg per L).
Benefiting from Real Tech’s innovative Split-Sense Pro technology and multiple long-life UV LED’s, the sensor provides stable measurement with low maintenance requirements. The Algae sensor must be connected to a Real Tech Controller for operation. See Controller and Accessories tab for selections.
- 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
