Online Process & Industrial pH Probes

One of the most important considerations when selecting a pH probe is the contaminants the probe may be exposed to. Harsh chemicals and suspended solids may cause pH probes to fail. In applications with these contaminants, it is important to select a durable sensor that is easily replaced. Light duty applications involving monitoring of cleaner water may prioritize other considerations, such as ease of use.

Sensorex offers a range of pH probes designed for online monitoring of clean water, dirty water, and everything in between. Some common applications are covered in the tabs below. Swimming pool monitoring is an example of a light duty application, while wastewater monitoring involves more heavy contamination. View and compare product recommendations for these and other similar applications. Every application is different – our experts are available to provide individual recommendations.

Light Duty / Limited Contamination

Heavy Duty / Significant Contamination

  • Light Duty

Wastewater Monitoring

Industrial operations that discharge effluent into sewer systems, lakes, or streams are required to neutralize effluent prior to discharge. State and Federal requirements vary, but non-compliance may result in fines and other consequences. Sensor requirements will vary based on the type of effluent being treated. pH probess that can either be reconditioned or easily replaced are generally ideal, as wastewater may contain contaminants that quickly wear out pH probes.

Swimming Pools

Maintaining proper pool water pH is essential for bather comfort, equipment maintenance, and chlorine functioning. Our pH5000 sensors offer a reliable option for basic pool pH monitoring. For pools with heavier bather loads, consider the more durable S465 pH probe, which features a proprietary gel fill for extended lifetime.

Typical pH: 7-8

Sources of Contamination: Dirt, sweat, oils, sunscreen

Environmental Monitoring

Industrial and municipal wastewater is often discharged to the environment after treatment. Environmental monitoring helps to ensure compliance with wastewater discharge regulations designed to protect natural water resources from dangerous wastewater contaminants. Chemical compatibility and durable construction are key in environmental monitoring applications, where pH probes may come in contact with unknown contaminants.
