UV Analysis—Eliminates Reagents, Sampling, and Sample Conditioning
Using advanced ultraviolet (UV) absorption technology,
Hach NITRATAX UV Nitrate Sensors offer unprecedented
simplicity, accuracy, and economy in nitrate analysis. By
continuously measuring the UV light absorbed by nitrates,
NITRATAX sensors eliminate the need for reagents, sample
conditioning, and frequent calibrations.
UV Absorption Method—
Proven, Continuous, Precise
NITRATAX sensors rely on the principle that molecular bonds
can absorb ultraviolet (UV) light—in this case, nitrate (NO3)
and nitrite (NO2) absorbs UV light at 210 nm. As the
concentration of nitrate or nitrite increases, UV absorption
also increases. A built-in photometer measures the primary
UV 210-nm beam, while a second beam of UV light at
350 nm provides a reference standard and corrects for
interference caused by turbidity and organic matter. Results
are reported on the controller unit's alphanumeric display in
mg/L of nitrate (NO3) or nitrate-nitrogen (NO3-N).
Applications
Hach NITRATAX sensors are the ideal choice to ensure consistent water quality, keep discharge waters clean, comply with regulatory requirements, and safeguard the environment.
Wastewater—Monitor influent, effluent, and aeration basin water. Control the denitrification process to minimize costs.
Drinking Water—Monitor nitrate levels in both influent and effluent streams before and after the disinfection process.
Agriculture—Measure and control nitrate discharges into rivers, lakes, wetlands, and other natural bodies of water.
