Intellitect Water, a developer of water monitoring instrumentation based in Christchurch, UK, has appointed Elga Process Water to market its Intellisonde water quality monitors in the UK and Ireland.
The Intellisonde is a small monitor that can be inserted into pressurised pipes to check up to 12 parameters.
The device was initially developed to monitor in-pipe water within drinking water distribution networks. However, Intellitect Water ceo Tony Halker says there is high demand for such a facility within process water, either as a protection from feed water problems or for process monitoring.
The Intellisonde records data internally, but with a GPRS option can issue alarms and be interrogated remotely. It is targeted at the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and research industries, among others.
Other key features of the technology are:
Solid state membrane-free sensor technology
Tiny "plug-and-play" sensors
No requirement for chemical reagents
High accuracy and robustness
Built in data logger
Mark Dyson of Elga Process Water, a subsidiary of Veolia Water, said: "The Intellisonde will be a very useful addition to our portfolio of products and services.
