- Aquaculture — Fish farming
- Biological Filtration and Recirculation Control
- Pollution Control — Wastewater outlet monitoring
- Industrial Process Control
System Overview
The ELIT flow-through water analysis system provides continuous, real-time multi-parameter monitoring using modular flow-through cells. Each cell holds up to 4 electrochemical sensors; cells can be combined to monitor up to 12 parameters simultaneously.
| Capability | Detail |
|---|---|
| Simultaneous parameters | 1 to 12 (expandable by adding cells) |
| Sensor types | pH, ORP, ISE, temperature, dissolved oxygen, conductivity |
| Computer interface | USB; Windows PC / laptop |
| Data export | .csv text (Excel compatible) |
| Sample intake tubing | 5 mm tube, up to 20 m long |
| Peristaltic pump suction | Up to 30 m distance, up to 6 m below pump level |
Open-frame configuration — two cells, 6+ parameter monitoring
System Benefits
- Controlled flow conditions produce more reliable and repeatable results
- Electrodes remain immersed throughout calibration — no liquid junction errors from moving reference electrodes between solutions
- Minimises liquid junction potential errors common in manual dip-in measurement
- Cost-effective: uses standard ELIT sensor electrodes that are easily replaced
- Newly developed sensor electronics for improved measurement accuracy
- Easy-to-use software with real-time display and data storage
- Complete system supplied with power adapters, tubing, cables and protective sleeving
Calibration Advantage
A 250 mL calibration beaker allows recirculating in-situ calibration — electrodes remain in position, eliminating the risk of contamination or positional errors that occur when removing and replacing sensors.
Main System Components
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| Flow-through Cell | Holds up to 4 sensors each. Modular — add cells for up to 12 simultaneous parameters. |
| Peristaltic Pump | Suction sampling from up to 30 m distance and 6 m lower level than the pump. |
| Sensor Monitor / Meter | Computer interface via USB. Runs on Windows PC or laptop (customer-supplied). Can be positioned up to 20 m from the sensors. |
| Sensor Electrodes | Customer-selected. All standard ELIT pH, ISE and ORP sensors are compatible. |
| Calibration Beaker | 250 mL — enables recirculating in-situ calibration without removing electrodes. |
