New Attitudes and Designs for Respirometers

Respirometers from Respirometer Systems and Applications (USA) are different than other manufacturers in design and attitude. Their PF series respirometers are based on a "pulse-flow" technology that involves the use of highly sensitive pressure transducers for detecting small increments of oxygen uptake or gas evolution from biological reactions.

Respirometer Systems and Applications (RSA) have considerable experience with the design and use of respirometers for analysis of the aerobic, anoxic, and anaerobic biological reactions that are critical for successful treatment of municipal and industrial wastewaters. Together, their team members and associates have over 90 years of experience with respirometers including three patents, over 100 publications, and a book on their design and application. Dr. James Young, a partner at RSA, is one of the patent holders on three of the respirometer systems that are produced today, and has over 45 years of experience in the field of respirometry. Bill Moore, the Marketing Director at RSA has sold and installed respirometer systems for almost 20 years. Another partner, Mike Ruff, has been designing respirometer systems for over 15 years. So RSA know respirometers and their applications better than others.

The RSA PF-8000 respirometer is the latest technology and is able to read in lower and higher ranges than any other respirometer. Right now RSA have clients who are reading over 100mLs per minute anaerobically with no calibration errors. No other system can do that. RSA's respirometer is also warranted for three years because of their belief in the system.

RSA's systems are simple to operate and have little to no maintenance. They always endeavour to be available for questions, so contact them for any queries you may have about their applications or specific set-ups for defined testing.
