Cyanide Analysis in Waste Water

The latest addition to the Alert Colorimeter range from Applikon Analytical is the new colorimetric Cyanide analyzer. Designed for reliability and minimal operator attendance the Alert analyzer is perfect for waste water applications.

The analyzer utilizes the unique Differential Absorbance Colorimetry (DAC) methodology to prevent turbidity and sample colour interfering with the analysis result. The analysis is capable of determining Free Cyanide in a range 0 – 200µg/l.

Automatic calibration checks are carried out either on a periodic basis or as a conditional action to validate out of range results. The Alert Colorimeter features extensive I/O capabilities such as high result relays, remote start/stop and analogue outputs. Additional remote interrogation via GSM modem is also available for isolated installations.

The running costs are kept to a minimum by low reagent use, typically less than 1ml of buffer/catalyst and 2ml of colour reagent per analysis, and minimal consumables. Attendance for planned maintenance is usually carried out on an annual basis.
