Ion-Selective Electrodes in Chemical Production
ISE in Chemical Production
Being able to accurately monitor targeted ions will bring significant enhancement to efficiency, quality, and yield. AlpHa’s Ion-Selective Electrodes enable quick detection of several ions, enhancing efficiency, quality, and yield in chemical production. Examples of applications needing our ISE’s include:
- Chloride in cement
- Fluoride, chloride, and nitrate in explosives
- Copper, cyanide, and silver in plating baths
- Fluoride in acids, glass, and household products
- Ammonia, potassium, calcium, and nitrate in fertilizer and feedstuffs
Traditional off-site measurements may introduce potential contamination, time loss, and operating errors during sample transfers. These disadvantages can be eliminated through on-site ISE measurements. AlpHa offers various mechanical insertion assemblies, specialized housing materials, and reference systems for the required specifications. AlpHa’s ISE portfolio can target over twenty different ions which are designed for both lab and continuous process environments.
