The use of oxidation-reduction potential (ORP or REDOX) measurements in pulp & paper applications primarily involves chlorine injection (bleaching and disinfection) and oxidizer use. ORP monitoring can deliver real-time results, enabling quick response and reduced downtime. Monitoring oxidation or reduction reactions can be useful at various locations in the production of pulp and paper:
Most ORP measurements are performed in a continuous measurement application. Due to the harsh environment of the pulp and paper production process, ORP sensors require robust material sensor designs. AlpHa can provide custom design inputs including Tuff-Tip (AlpHa specific design for pulp and paper applications) reference junctions and mechanical assemblies.
