DETECTRONIC PERACETIC – Reagent-Free Peracetic Acid Analyzer

DETECTRONIC ORAKEL reagent-free peracetic acid analyzer is a reagent-free membrane instrument. Extremely stable, it has the least maintenance and life costs.

With its calibration and spare parts requirements, the ORAKEL peracetic acid sensor is arguably the most cost-effective peracetic acid analyzer available.

In most cases, the ORAKEL paracetic acid analyzer checks the CHз,COзH dose. It does this by automatically adjusting flow rates, pump speeds or valve positions to maintain the peracetic acid set point. Automatic dosing significantly reduces reagent costs and increases control.

What is Peracetic Acid?
Peracetic Acid is a strong oxidant with oxidation potential used as a measure of higher disinfection effectiveness than common disinfectants such as chlorine and chlorine dioxide. It produces by the reaction between acetic acid and hydrogen peroxide when dissolved in water. It degrades over time to form non-toxic water-soluble products. Free radical scavengers (insecticidal species); hydrogen peroxyl and hydroxyl have high oxidizing capacities. It usually destroys bacteria through the protoplasmic oxidation mechanism and causes bacterial cell wall disruption. Its safe degradation pathway and high oxidation properties make paracetic acid a popular disinfectant for many applications and industries.

Chlorination of water is carried out using three chemical media; chlorine gas, calcium hypochlorite and sodium hypochlorite.

However, there are several factors that affect their viability;

As a result, facilities often spend significant time and money implementing safety measures such as the safe production and storage of these chemicals.

In addition, chlorine reacts with natural organic compounds in the water supply to form potentially harmful disinfectant byproducts such as Trihalomethanes (THMs) and Haloacetic acids (HAAs). These by-products are particularly exposed to THs. Potential health hazards, regular monitoring of these compounds throughout the water distribution system has resulted in comprehensive drinking water regulations across the developed world.

The use of paracetic acid only results in non-toxic degradants. No more costs in instrumentation to monitor potentially harmful residues or by-products.

Although peracetic acid, as with all disinfectants, still has some safety considerations, it is widely accepted that storage, production and stability are superior to the use of chlorine.

How Does the Sensor Work?
The membrane amperometric paracetic acid sensor is a two-electrode sensor operating at a high applied potential that eliminates drift.

Its unique design means that no reactive buffer is required and calibration is a simple point (no zero required) process.

It equips itself to automatically clean at regular intervals in applications such as pulp, wastewater, where solids build-up is likely in the sample, and with all the advantages of not requiring an operator.

What are Sensor Application Areas?
Now wherever you want to measure CHз,COзH is a suitable application for ORAKEL peracetic acid sensor. It is particularly suitable for working where reliability and ease of use are paramount. Conductivity tolerates acids, but water should not contain any tensides.
