Product catalog summary
Overview: The AmmoniaMonitor Model Q46N by Analytical Technology, Inc. is designed for on-line monitoring of ammonia in water, addressing the need for nutrient reduction in aquatic environments. It offers a reliable, cost-effective alternative to complex systems, with features such as fast response time, simple chemical systems, and multiple digital communication options.
Key Features:
  • Real-time ammonia measurement with fast response time.
  • Inexpensive reagent usage with a simple chemical system.
  • Displays Free Ammonia, Monochloramine, and Total Ammonia for chloramination systems.
  • Automatic response verification for ammonia breakthrough applications.
  • Digital communication options include Profibus, Modbus, and Ethernet.
Applications: The monitor is suitable for various applications including wastewater effluent, chloraminated potable water, fish farms, aquariums, and potable water intake. It is particularly useful in chloramination systems to control water quality and minimize free ammonia concentration.
Operation: Ammonia measurement involves the addition of three reagents via a multichannel peristaltic pump. The process includes stabilizing the sample, converting ammonia to monochloramine, and quenching excess chlorine. The sample is then measured using an amperometric membraned sensor.
Chloramination System Monitoring: The system ensures the conversion of free chlorine to monochloramine with minimal excess ammonia, preventing nitrite and nitrate formation. It continuously measures total ammonia and monochloramine concentrations to derive free ammonia levels.
Ammonia Response Verification: The Q46N monitor includes an automatic response verification system for applications where ammonia is not normally present, ensuring system functionality by introducing a test ammonia solution at programmed intervals.
Specifications:
  • Sensor: Amperometric Membraned Sensor.
  • Sample Pump: Peristaltic Pump, 13 cc./min.
  • Operating Temperature: 2-45°C.
  • Power: 120 VAC or 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz.
  • Display: 4-digit numeric LCD with LED backlight.
Ordering Information: The system is available in different configurations based on measurement type, power supply, and digital output options. Accessories and reagents are also available for purchase.

Ammonia Monitor Model Q46N-1

On-Line monitoring of Ammonia in water is of increasing importance due to the increased emphasis on nutrient reduction in lakes, streams, and estuaries. Unfortunately, simple direct measuring sensors have not proven sufficiently reliable, and rather complicated systems have been developed to address the measurement problem. These systems can be used but require substantial maintenance and are expensive to purchase. ATI has developed a new approach to on-line monitoring of ammonia that is easier to operate and less expensive than competitive systems, but with the reliability you need. • Fast response time for real time ammonia measurement • Simple chemical system uses inexpensive reagents • Display of Free Ammonia, Monochloramine, and Total Ammonia for chloramination systems • Automatic response verification for ammonia breakthrough applications • Multiple digital communication options: Profibus, Modbus, or Ethernet Call 800.959.0299 to speak with a sales representative or visit us on the web at www.analyticaltechnol

Chloraminated Potable Water Wastewater Effluent Potable Water Intake Ammonia Chillers Fish Farms OPERATION Waste Ammonia measurement is accomplished by the addition of three reagents, each of which is fed using a multichannel peristaltic pump. A stabilizer chemical is injected first to stop calcium precipitation in the tubing. After that, a solution containing free chlorine is injected which results in the conversion of ammonia to monochloramine. NH4+ + HOCl → NH2Cl + H+ + H2O The third reagent added quenches the above reaction by removing the excess free chlorine. This ensures that free ammonia...

Ammonia Monitor Model Q46N-3

CHLORAMINATION SYSTEM MONITORING Chloramination in potable water treatment has become common, especially in utilities with large distribution systems. The use of chloramines to reduce disinfection by-products and to provide disinfectant protection throughout a large pipe network has proven useful but does present potential water quality problems if not controlled properly. A carefully controlled chloramination system will result in the conversion of all free chlorine to monochloramine with only a slight excess of ammonia. This excess ammonia, called “free ammonia”, should be kept as low as possible...
