CTG Introduces New Non-contact Algae System

A new Algae-Station Non-Contact system from water quality sensor designer Chelsea Technologies Group (CTG) will be launched at Sensing In Water (UK) on September 27-28 and WEFTEC 2017 on October 2-4.

The Algae-Station NC provides water process control operators with a unique monitoring system which reduces cleaning and maintenance requirements that are commonly associated with in situ sensors, reducing cost of ownership of these type of sensors, CTG said.  These non-contact systems, up till now only available for such parameters as turbidity and flow, are now, with the Algae-Station NC, available for algae monitoring in water processing plants.

The Algae-Station NC system consists of a CTG UniLux Chl-a fluorometer (or CTG TriLux fluorometer for multi-pigment measurements (Chl-a, Phycocyanin & Phycoerythin)), a specially designed Weir Style flow manifold which aligns the UniLux / TriLux to a flat water surface and a Watchkeeper logging and display unit.  The system can also be adapted for users with existing ‘trough’ style multi-parameter monitoring systems.
