proSONDE is widely recognised as one of the most versatile multiprobe systems available, combining innovative with a robust design suited to a broad range of water monitoring applications. Its flexibility, accuracy, and durability make it a practical solution across drinking water, wastewater, industrial, environmental, and marine sectors.
Drinking Water Applications
In drinking water systems, proSONDE supports critical monitoring requirements, including Legionella and trihalomethane (THM) assessment. It offers flexible deployment options, allowing sensors to be installed directly in open water or through a single flow-cell configuration.
Additionally, its optical sensors can be detached and deployed independently, connecting directly to a remote telemetry unit (RTU) when required. The integration of high-accuracy, self-cleaning sensors reduces maintenance demands and removes the need for complex flow loops or multiple standalone instruments. This results in a streamlined, reliable monitoring setup.
Wastewater Treatment
proSONDE can be installed at virtually any stage of the wastewater treatment process, providing continuous insight into key parameters such as biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total organic carbon (TOC), ammonia, and phosphate loadings.
Beyond monitoring, the system can support process optimisation by enabling control of aeration systems, contributing to energy efficiency. It also serves as a compliance monitoring tool for final effluent quality. Throughout the treatment cycle, proSONDE assists with performance tracking, detection of trade waste fluctuations, and commissioning support during process modifications.
Industrial Monitoring
Industrial facilities operate under strict environmental regulations, particularly concerning organic discharge levels. proSONDE delivers real-time measurement of critical parameters, including BOD, COD, and TOC, helping operators maintain compliance with regulatory standards.
By identifying potential issues early, the system helps reduce the risk of fines, operational interruptions, and environmental incidents. It is well-suited to a variety of industrial applications, including food and beverage processing and landfill leachate monitoring, offering a dependable and comprehensive solution.
Environmental Monitoring
During pollution events, access to accurate and timely data is essential. proSONDE provides advanced monitoring capabilities, enabling real-time measurement of E. coli, Enterococci, Total Coliforms, phosphate, BOD, COD, TOC, and optical ammonium.
This capability represents a significant advancement over traditional monitoring approaches that rely on indirect indicators such as pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), electrical conductivity (EC), turbidity, or ion-selective electrode (ISE) measurements. By delivering direct, reliable data, proSONDE supports faster and more informed decision-making in environmental management.
Marine and Coastal Applications
Marine and coastal environments present challenging conditions, including biofouling, salinity, and variable weather. proSONDE is specifically designed to perform reliably in these demanding settings, incorporating advanced anti-fouling technologies to maintain measurement accuracy over extended periods.
The system enables precise monitoring of bathing water quality, including detection of E. coli and Enterococci, alongside advanced measurement of phosphates, optical ammonium, and organic matter such as BOD, COD, TOC, and dissolved organic carbon (DOC). In addition to enhancing data quality, proSONDE contributes to reduced capital expenditure (CAPEX) and improved operational reliability.
Conclusion
proSONDE represents a comprehensive and adaptable solution for water quality monitoring. Its combination of robust design, flexible deployment, and real-time, multi-parameter measurement capabilities positions it as the leading sonde for organisations seeking reliable, efficient, and accurate monitoring across diverse water environments.
