River Water Chlorophyll Probe

IP68 Optical Chlorophyll Probe For River Water

The River Water Chlorophyll Probe is a specialized device designed to measure the concentration of chlorophyll in river water, leveraging the optical properties of chlorophyll to assess the health and productivity of aquatic ecosystems. Specifically engineered for deployment in rivers, this probe utilizes advanced technology to ensure accurate and reliable data collection, crucial for environmental monitoring, research, and water management.The Optical Chlorophyll Probe is a robust and high-performance instrument that operates on the principle of chlorophyll fluorescence. It employs a 470nm light source to excite chlorophyll-a molecules present in river water, causing them to emit fluorescence in the range of 660 to 700nm. By measuring this fluorescence intensity, the probe calculates the concentration of chlorophyll-a, which serves as an indicator of algae biomass and overall aquatic productivity.

Constructed with a solid structure and designed to meet the IP68 standard, this probe is highly resistant to environmental factors such as water ingress and mechanical stress. Its durable design ensures long-term reliability and minimal maintenance requirements, making it suitable for continuous online monitoring in river systems.

One of the key features of this chlorophyll probe is its adherence to the ISO7027 standard, utilizing a 180° infrared incident method for accurate measurements. This method ensures that the probe can effectively measure chlorophyll concentrations even in high-concentration samples, providing more guaranteed detection accuracy compared to scattering methods.

Communication with the probe is facilitated through the RS485 Modbus protocol, allowing seamless integration with standard industrial control systems and chlorophyll controllers. This feature enables real-time data transmission and remote monitoring, facilitating efficient decision-making and operational management.

To further enhance its functionality, the River Water Chlorophyll Probe is equipped with an automatic cleaning brush. This brush effectively prevents the accumulation of stains and eliminates air bubbles, ensuring consistent and accurate measurements without the need for frequent manual intervention.
