Product catalog summary
Features & Benefits
  • Accurate and reliable nitrate (NO3) monitoring using an optical, reagent-free method.
  • Suitable for a range of water types from wastewater to high purity.
  • Low maintenance and easy to install and operate.
  • Compatible with Liquid Ai for remote monitoring.
Real-Time Monitoring Solution

The Real Tech Nitrate Sensor provides real-time nitrate measurement in water or wastewater. The NL series offers various sensor path lengths to accommodate different measurement ranges. The system is modular, allowing for customization with controllers and accessories, including automatic chemical cleaning systems.

Measurement Principle

The sensor uses UV-VIS light to measure nitrate ions, which absorb light in the 200-220 nm range. It compensates for common interferences like organic compounds and turbidity using additional reference wavelengths. The Split-Sense Pro technology ensures accuracy and stability over time.

Applications
  • Municipal Drinking Water
  • Municipal Wastewater
  • Industrial Process Water

WATER QUALITY MONITORING SOLUTIONS REAL NITRATE 0 am REALIZE FEATURES & BENEFITS • Accurate and reliable monitoring of nitrates (NO3) • Optical measurement method (reagent free) • Wastewater to high purity measurement ranges • Operator friendly, low maintenance design • Easy to install and operate • Liquid Ai compatible for optional Remote Monitoring service REAL-TIME MONITORING SOLUTION Nitrate Sensor Real Tech's bypass Nitrate sensor provides real-time measurement of nitrate (NO3) in water or wastewater. Designed to meet the needs of many monitoring applications, the NL series offers multiple sensor path length selections for the desired measurement range. Controllers And Accessories Our innovative modular product platform ensures our clients gain the real-time water quality monitoring system that meets their specific demands and budget. With multiple controller and accessory options available such as automatic chemical cleaning systems that lower maintenance while improving system performance, Real Tech provides a total solution for all of your unique water quality needs. Liquid Ai Compatible Our Liquid Ai data services complement our real-time water quality monitoring systems. Our Remote Monitoring platform is a powerful data management and visualization tool that enables access to data anywhere, anytime. MEASUREMENT PRINCIPLE Real Tech's Nitrate sensors utilize UV-VIS light for measurement as nitrate ions have a natural absorbance peak in the 200-220 nm wavelength range. Common interferences with nitrate measurement, such as organic compounds, nitrite, iron (II), and turbidity or suspended solids are automatically compensated for by measurements at additional reference wavelengths in the UV-VIS spectrum where the interfering compounds absorb, but nitrates do not. The nitrate sensor benefits from Real Tech's innovative Split-Sense Pro technology that compensates for lamp drift and fluctuations, providing an accurate and stable output overtime.
