  • Ultra・rugged construction-316L, Titanium options
  • Sapphire sensor window – extremely scratch resistant
  • All of the optics and electronics are solid-state with no moving parts
  • Optical sensor is not damaged by ambient light, unlike other luminescent DO technologies
  • Fully compatible with PC software for easy setup and data logging
  • Low sensitivity to fouling
  • Fast response time
Enquiry

The FDO sensor is based on the ability of selected substances to act as dynamic fluorescence quenchers. The fluorescent indicator ia a special platinum porphyrin complex embedded in a gas permeable foil that is exposed to the surrounding water. A black optical isolation coating protects the complex from direct incoming sunlight and fluorescent particles in the water.

The Sensing foil is pushed against  a sapphire window by a screw mounted securing plate, the foil is excited by modulated green light, and the phase of a returned red light is measured, the duration and intensity of the fluorescence are directly dependent on the amount of oxygen in the surrounding. With little to no oxygen, the response is long and intense. Oxygen quenches the fluorescence response so as the oxygen level increases the response becomes shorter and less intense. FDO sensor use phase difference to calcualte the oxygen level.

Application

The FDO is designed for the continuous measurement of dissolved oxygen in water. Typical applications include:

  • The measurement and control of the oxygen in aeration basins
  • The monitoring of oxygen in the effluent from a sewage treatment plant
  • The measurement and control of the oxygen content of public water supplies
  • The measurement and control of the oxygen at fish farms.
  • The oxygenation of drinking water.
  • The sensor is suitable for most environmental water measurements, applications outside of the scope of applications
  • Listed above may compromise the integrity of the sensor and should not be attempted without first consulting the factory.
