An automated, real-time sensor for saline waters that measures calcium (Ca2+), barium (Ba2+), sulfate (SO42-) ions and silica (SiO2). ScaleSense was specifically developed to work with the toughest waters, after conventional real-time sensors failed to meet our needs.
Real-time sensors provide direct measurement of ion concentrations on a continuous basis. However, most struggle with the presence of total dissolved solids (TDS) >50,000 mg/L. ScaleSense overcomes this limit and is not impacted by TDS.
Measuring scaling ions real-time enables process optimization. Use less water, make more water, generate less brine. See our spec sheet for more information.
Real-Time Testing
Managing Scale Risk
Process Optimization
Real-time scaling ion measurement and control can help you optimize your process: save money & reduce your water footprint, see the examples below.
ScaleSense is robust and configurable for Ca2+, Ba2+ or SO42- ions, or SiO2. It functions accurately and precisely, even at extremely high-TDS.
We can help you to integrate ScaleSense in your process: process assessment, drawing updates, PLC programming, training and support.
Manage cooling tower scale risk with a virtual anti-scalant, & use less water
ScaleSense can measure scaling ion concentrations real-time, allowing cooling tower optimization: less fresh water consumption, less blowdown.
Real-time scaling ion measurement for dynamic recovery control of reverse osmosis systems
ScaleSense can provide dynamic recovery control, to get the best out of RO and softening processes without introducing scale risk.
Targeted ion compliance measurement & removal optimization, e.g. mine discharge
Continuous compliance monitoring ensures that limits are met. Treat to the right level; minimize treatment load, optimize blending.
