Accurate Chlorine Level Monitoring in Water with High Levels of Manganese and Iron Salts

Intellitect Water launched the new V2 Intellisonde (IV2) in-pipe water quality monitor in 2012, which offered two new advantages; retained calibration data and improved chlorine measurement. Since that time, IV2 sondes have been successfully installed around the world offering users easier access to water quality data.

Poor Maintenance Tarnishing Reputation of TEOM-FDMS Direct Mass Particulate Measurement Technology

Many of the adverse health effects from air pollution can be attributed to fine particulates, so the accuracy and reliability of the UK’s ambient particulate monitoring network is extremely important. Since the early 1990s, this network has relied on TEOM and more recently the TEOM-FDMS direct mass measurement technology, but Air Monitors MD Jim Mills is concerned that the reputation of this technology’s reliability “is being unfairly tarnished as a direct result of poor maintenance by some other service companies.”
