Home Our Equipment Water Quality Monitors Peracetic Acid
The ORAKEL peracetic acid sensor is a membrane device which use no reagents. It is extremely stable and has a reduced maintenance and reduced whole life costs.
With its reduced maintenance, reduced calibration and reduced spares requirements, the ORAKEL peracetic acid sensor is arguably the most cost effective peracetic acid analyser available.
In most situations, the ORAKEL paracetic acid analyser is able to control the dosing of CHз,COзH. It does this by adjusting flow rates, pump rates, or valve positions automatically to maintain the peracetic acid setpoint. Automatic dosing can significantly reduce reagent costs, and increase the level of control.
Peracetic Acid is a powerful oxidant with an oxidation potential, used as a measure of disinfection effectiveness, greater than that of common disinfectants such as chlorine and chlorine dioxide. It is produced by the reaction between acetic acid and hydrogen peroxide when dissolved in water, and degrades over time forming non-toxic water soluble products. The free radical degradants (bug killing species); hydrogen peroxyl and hydroxyl have high oxidising capacities and are generally believed to destroy bacteria via the protoplasmic oxidation mechanism resulting in bacterial cell wall disintegration. The safe degradation pathway and high oxidation properties make paracetic acid a popular disinfectant for many applications and industries.
Chlorination of water can be achieved using three chemical mediums; chlorine gas, calcium hypochlorite and sodium hypochlorite, all of which have proved useful in many applications.
There are, however, several factors which affect their viability and all three mediums have safety concerns which must be addressed, including; potential gas release, corrosive properties and stability under heat and sunlight. As a result of this, sites often spend considerable amounts of time and money implementing safety precautions such as the safe generation and storage of these chemicals.
Furthermore, chlorine reacts with natural organic compounds found in the water supply forming potentially harmful disinfectant by-products such as Trihalomethanes (THMs) and Haloacetic acids (HAAs). The potential health hazards associated with exposure to these by-products, particularly THMs, have resulted in extensive drinking water regulations across the developed world with a stipulation on regular monitoring of these compounds across the water distribution system. As paracetic acid usage only results in non-toxic degredants, no further costs are incurred on instrumentation to monitor potentially harmful residuals or by-products.
Although peracetic acid does still have some safety considerations, as with all disinfectants, it is widely accepted that storage, generation and stability is superior to using chlorine.
The membrane amperometric paracetic acid sensor is a two electrode sensor which operates at an elevated applied potential, which eliminates zero drift. Its unique design means that no reagents or buffers are required at all and calibration is a simple point (no zero required) operation.
In applications such as pulp and paper food preparation and waste water, where there is likely to be a build up of solids in the sample, the ORAKEL peracetic acid sensor can be equipped to automatically clean itself at regular intervals with all the benefits of no operator intervention.
Anywhere you have a requirement to measure residual CHз,COзH is a suitable application for the ORAKEL peracetic acid sensor. It is particularly suited to working in sites where reliability and ease of use are most important. Conductivity acids can be tolerated but the water must not contain any tensides.

The ORAKEL System is ideal for all your water monitoring equipment needs, measuring both water flow and water quality at the same time. Created as a modular system, a wide range of water quality sensors can be added to measure various characteristics, such as pH, COD and suspended solids, for a truly bespoke and cost-effective solution.
Water can have a positive or negative Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP) and it is measured in volts. ORP is a way to measure water’s ability to accept or release electrons during a chemical reaction. Understanding the ORP value helps determine the quality of the water and thereby helps operators decide what water treatment processes may be required. The more positive the ORP value, the greater the tendency the water has to oxidise (gain electrons from) organisms or other material in the water, thereby killing or destroying them.
The ORAKEL COD/TOC Sensor uses UV254 light as a surrogate measurement for detecting organics in water.
It is designed in modular form so that it can be integrated with other sensors, such as pH, turbidity and dissolved oxygen, to provide all the tools needed for either a stand-alone UV254 analyser or as part of an effluent discharge monitoring system.
The ORAKEL COD/TOC Sensor provides online continuous organics monitoring utilising a 254nm ultraviolet light source.
The ORAKEL Turbidity monitor automatically varies the light output so that the turbidity can be measured independently of background light and electronic drift. It is ISO 7027 compliant and covers a range of 0.01-1000 NTU (0.01-2000mg/l depending on the sample).
The ORAKEL System determines true turbidity and/or suspended solids in water, using a nephelometric measurement of scattered light in accordance with ISO 7027. The sensor uses lifetime-based optical technology to provide an extremely stable, accurate, low maintenance sensor with no moving parts and no consumables.
The ORAKEL Suspended Solids senor has a large dynamic range, which eliminates the need for a “zero” and also eliminates the effect of background light.
For multiple measuring ranges, the suspended solids sensor can monitor turbidity and suspended solids from 2 NTU (1mg/l) to 8%* solids.
Particle counters are known for their ability to detect when a filter is reaching the end of its life. ORAKEL Particle Counters are sophisticated instruments suitable for municipal and industrial water treatment applications including filter performance monitoring, protecting RO membranes from colloidal fouling and corrosion product monitoring.
