ProMinent has launched the DULCOEYE LT, an optical sensor designed to monitor low turbidity levels in water.

The sensor is intended for use in applications where accurate water quality monitoring is required, including drinking water treatment, industrial process water monitoring, swimming pools and wastewater treatment.

DULCOEYE LT comes factory-calibrated and features plug-and-play functionality for installation and operation. A hydrodynamic self-cleaning principle helps reduce maintenance requirements, while an integrated algorithm detects and compensates for air bubbles to maintain measurement accuracy.

The system also includes a compact flow reservoir cell designed to reduce water consumption and provide short response times.

The sensor can be combined with ProMinent’s single-channel controller, DULCOMETER diaLog C. Measurement data from the sensor is transmitted directly to the controller, which can adjust dosing in response to changes in water conditions.

Andreas Zühlcke, vice president of product management and marketing at ProMinent, said: “With the DULCOEYE LT, we are setting a new standard in optical measurement technology. Our goal is to offer users worldwide a solution that combines precision and ease of use."

According to the company, DULCOEYE LT is the first sensor in ProMinent’s new DULCOEYE optical product line. The company plans to expand the series with additional measurement parameters in the coming months.
