Drinking Water Treatment

A Canadian drinking water facility experienced heavy, naturally occurring iron and manganese concentrations in their ground water source. A common water quality characteristic found across many water treatment markets.

Iron and manganese present unique challenges to online chlorine analyzer technologies. The iron and manganese attaches to all material surfaces in contact with the water, including the chlorine analyzer’s acrylic flow cell chamber and measuring electrodes.

Historically the challenge of iron and manganese was left in the hands of the operators, who find themselves frequently manually cleaning and recalibrating online chlorine sensors. With the help of the regional Kuntze representative and Kuntze Cloud Connect®, the Kuntze chlorine bare sensor and patented Automatic Sensor Cleaning technology (ASR®) helped this drinking water customer remove the high frequency of manual maintenance needed on their previous analyzer.

“Kuntze innovative ASR® technology and cleaning method is a true testament to the idea of low maintenance.”
