Free Chlorine Analyser Provides Safe Drinking Water for Indonesia

Free chlorine monitoring in drinking water is a parameter measured as standard almost everywhere in the world. So it makes sense that Pi’s free chlorine analyser, HaloSense, is one of our most popular products. The HaloSense can be found on thousands of sites in dozens of countries across a wide variety of applications

One recent application in Salatiga City, Indonesia, saw the HaloSense being installed to form a critical part of the Prima Drinking Water Zone (ZAMP) project. The project delivers safe chlorinated water to the people of Salatiga and is anticipated to have a large positive effect on public health. The HaloSense is key to monitoring and controlling the levels of chlorine in the water, as it reliably maintains the residual chlorine level between 0.2 and 0.5 ppm, in line with Ministry regulations

HaloSense is affordable and accurate, requires little maintenance and has low running costs which makes it particularly suitable for development projects such as ZAMP. The technology used by the HaloSense means that it is also insensitive to changes in pH and therefore needs no reagents or buffers, making it easy to own.

This installation means that the local population now has access to safe, clean water straight from the tap. Previously, local residents had to boil their water before it was safe to consume.

 It is a source of pride to think that Pi systems like this one can be used to greatly improve the living standards of people and communities, and we are pleased to be involved in ZAMP and other projects like it. Pi hopes to work with our partners in Indonesia, IMS Automation, on similar projects throughout Indonesia in the future.
