The potassium electrode for the Badger Meter ammo::lyser™ is an ion-selective electrode (ISE) designed to measure potassium concentration in water, providing real-time potassium compensation to ensure accurate ammonium (NH₄⁺) readings when used as an accessory with the ammo::lyser™ system.
- Potassium Compensation: Provides accurate NH4-N readings by compensating for potassium interference, a significant factor in complex water matrices.
- ISE Technology: Uses an ion-selective membrane for specific potassium detection.
- Multiparameter Capability: Works within the ammo::lyser probe to measure multiple parameters like temperature, pH, and ammonium.
- In-Situ Measurement: Allows for direct, real-time monitoring in the water body or a flow cell, reducing sample handling.
- Low Maintenance: Features automatic cleaning with compressed air and a non-leaking reference electrode for extended performance.
- Plug & Measure: Simple setup and operation with s::can terminals and software.
- High Stability: Offers long-term stable, factory-precalibrated measurements.
Water Quality Monitoring: Detects potassium ions (K+) in water samples. Ammonium Measurement Enhancement: Corrects for potassium’s influence on ammonium readings, boosting accuracy. Environmental & Municipal: Used in rivers, lakes, drinking water treatment, and wastewater plants (influent, aeration, effluent).
- Measuring Principle: Ion-Selective Electrode (ISE) with ionophore membrane
