Aluminium and Iron Analysis in Drinking and Waste Water

The latest additions to the Alert Colorimeter range from Applikon Analytical are the new colorimetric Iron and Aluminium analyzer. Designed for reliability and minimal operator attendance the Alert analyzer is perfect for drinking and waste water analysis.

Both analyzers utilize the unique Differential Absorbance Colorimetry (DAC) methodology to prevent sample colour or turbidity interfering with the analysis result.

The Alert Colorimeter for Iron provides analysis in the range 0.002 mg/l to 1 mg/l with an analysis time of less than 10 minutes. Reagent consumption is extremely low at 0.5 ml per reagent per analysis.

The Alert Colorimeter for Aluminium provides analysis in the range of 0 - 1 mg/l with an analysis time of approximately 10 minutes. Reagent consumption is also low at 2.5 ml per analysis.

Automatic calibration checks are carried out either on a periodic basis or as a conditional action to validate out of range results. The Alert Colorimeter features extensive I/O capabilities such as high result relays, remote start/stop and analogue outputs. The running costs are kept to a minimum by minimal consumables and attendance for planned maintenance is usually carried out on an annual basis.
