Why are continuous nitrate sensors needed?
Nitrate in water can vary in three dimensions and in time due to many stressors
Sampling once per year, seasonally, or monthly does not provide adequate information about the variability of nitrate in the environment
OPUS is the new generation of spectral sensors for online measurement of nitrogen and carbon compounds. Through the analysis of a full spectrum, OPUS is able to deliver reliable readings for NO3-N, NO2-N, organic ingredients (CODeq, BODeq, DOCeq, TOCeq), and a number of other parameters.
OPUS features the new TriOS G2 interface, allowing fast and easy configuration of sensors by using a web browser. Integration into existing process control systems and external data loggers has never been easier.
With the optional battery pack, mobile applications are also feasible. WiFi connectivity allows laptops, tablets or smartphones to be easily used for control without any special application software or app installation.
