MVS10 and MVS17 Ammonium Sensors Offer High Performance at Economical Cost

Water treatment engineers in need of a versatile and cost-effective Ammonium measurement solution will find that the new MVS10 and MVS17 Ammonium pIon Sensors from Electro-Chemical Devices (ECD), USA, provide a stable and economical in-line measurement platform, helping plants and processes operate smoothly and efficiently with lower operating costs.

Ammonium concentration is a commonly measured parameter in environmental water, potable water and waste water. The MVS10 and MVS17 pIon electrode cartridges measures the activity of "free" Ammonium ions in solution in concentrations from 0.1 to 14,000 ppm over a pH range from 2-8 pH (2-10.5 pH with pH compensation). The MVS10 and MVS17 Sensors feature industry-leading temperature and pressure specifications, operating over a wide temperature range of 0° to 40° C (32° to 104° F) and at a pressure range of 0-50 psig (0-3.5 bar).

ECD's MVS10 and MVS17 Ammonium Sensors utilise easily replaceable, long-life electrode cartridges for measurement flexibility and lower operating costs. The MVS10 Sensor is an insertion or immersion-style sensor for use in pipe tees or on the end of a stand pipe for immersion into a tank or pond, while the MVS17 is a valve-retractable design that allows for insertion or removal of the sensor into a pipe without interrupting the process flow. They are fully re-buildable and feature a standard 316 stainless steel body or optional Titanium, grade 2 (T); Hastelloy C22 (H); or Kynar, PVDF (K) body to support a wide variety of applications and operating environments.

In addition to ammonium, the reliable and high-accuracy MVS10 and MVS17 sensors are available in models measuring pH, ORP, dissolved oxygen, conductivity, resistivity and other specific ions including bromide, calcium, chloride, copper, cyanide, fluoride, potassium, sodium and sulfide. All cartridge varieties offer built-in signal conditioning and optionally feature ECD's SENTINEL "PrepHault" sensor life indicator.
