Free and Total Residual Chlorine Analyser – DPDSense – Online DPD

DPDSense Controller

DPDSense is a colorimetric online free and total chlorine analyser using DPD (N,N-diethyl-p-phenylenediamine). DPD is an industry standard method for measuring chlorine both online and offline. The DPDSense from Pi has been designed to match or exceed the market leaders in all key respects and to be much easier to work on, with extended maintenance intervals (six months), and thereby giving reduced whole life costs. Free residual chlorine and total residual chlorine analysers measure two distinct forms of chlorine in water treatment: ‘free’ chlorine (HOCl + OCl) and ‘total’ chlorine (free chlorine + chloramines) are both available for disinfection.

When chlorine is added to water, it reacts with contaminants during disinfection, any chlorine remaining after disinfection is complete, is considered ‘residual’ chlorine. Measuring this ‘residual’ (either total or free) chlorine can help verify effective disinfection. Process Instruments offers three products for residual chlorine measurement: HaloSense using electrochemical technology, DPDSense utilizing online DPD technology, and Chloribrid® which combines both measurement technologies.

The DPDSense uses colorimetry and takes an aliquot of a continually running sample to which it adds a liquid buffer and liquid DPD reagent. The DPD reacts with the chlorine in the water and the water turns pink. The depth of the pink colour (measured by a photometer) is proportional to the amount of chlorine in the sample. This is the application of Beer Lamberts law which states that absorption of light (at a particular wavelength) and concentration of chlorine in the absorbing chemical have a linear relationship. This means that absorption can be used to calculate the concentration in the sample. The equation for Beer-Lamberts Law is shown below:

DPDSense Principle of operation

The DPDSense is comparable in cost to its competitors, as are the reagents required for operation. Where the DPDSense wins over its competitors is with the reduced and simpler maintenance. Whilst many online DPD analysers require difficult monthly maintenance, the DPDSense from Pi only requires simple, six-monthly maintenance.

  • Stable and reliable – excellent process control
  • Standard method – no calibration in normal operation
  • Multi sensor capability – reduced costs
  • Dual and triple validation – for increased security
  • Suitable for water, waste and industrial applications
