Description

The Phosphate Analyzer is an on-line sequential sampling analyzer, a sequence of sampling, analysis and result processing is performed and repeated using colorimetric methods. The measurement is a colorimetric analysis using an LED light source and a heated colorimetric cell designed for measuring trace amounts of analyse in water.

The colorimetric analyzer is assembled with two separated sections. The bottom section is the LIQUIDS section. It includes all of the components involved in the flow, mixing and reaction stages of the sample and reagents. Numerous analysis configurations can be programmed, depending on accessories and of the number of micro pumps mounted in the Liquid Section. The top section is the ELECTONICS enclosure. It includes the main power supply, the controller PCB assembly and the touch screen interface.

The measuring Principle

The reagent, containing sodium molybdate and ammonium meta-vanadate in an acid medium, reacts with the orthophosphate to form a yellow coloured phospho-vanado-molybdate compound. The absorbance intensity is proportional to the phosphate concentration in the sample and is determined at 430 nm.
