Conductivity is used to monitor chemical concentration and control it by adjusting the ratio of water to acid or caustic. Chemical concentration control applications can be hard on conductivity sensors as high concentrations of acid or caustic can corrode the metal electrodes. In many concentration control applications, such as cleaning solutions, the acid or caustic solution is recycled back to the concentration control mixing tank for re-use. This can lead to the accumulation of solids in the solution that can coat or plug the electrodes on contacting conductivity sensors, resulting in an unreliable measurement. The Rosemount™ 228 Toroidal Conductivity Sensor is an excellent solution for most concentration control applications due to its superior corrosion and coating resistance compared to contacting conductivity sensors.
The Rosemount 1058 Dual Channel Transmitter provides confident liquid analysis measurement in a wide range of industrial, municipal and commercial applications. It is a 4-wire powered device that provides multi-parameter liquid analysis for digital and analog sensors, including inputs from pH/ORP sensors, ISE, flow, current, conductivity sensors (contacting and toroidal), turbidity sensors and amperometric sensors (dissolved oxygen, chlorine and ozone).
