Ex pz protection according to EN94/9/EC

The UV500 ATEX has a IP 65 stainless steel enclosure with an air purge system Ex pz to work on hazardous areas classified "zone 1 or Zone 2" where a risk of explosive atmosphere is present like refineries or chemical plants. Two alarm contacts are provided if the pressure inside the enclosure drops below the adjustable setting points. This alarm can be used to switch off the power of the enclosure. The analyser is designed to work up to 60°C of ambient temperature to avoid the use of vortex cooler. Depending on the certification needed a marking plate can be fixed on the enclosure with the marking below as an example :

II 3G Ex [pz] IIC T3

II : non-mining	3G : category 3 for Gaz	PZ : pressurised	IIA : propane	T1 : 450°C
	3D : category 3 for Dust		IIB : ethylene	T2 : 300°C
			IIC : Acetylene, hydrogen	T3 : 200°C
				T4 : 135°C
				T5 : 100°C
				T6 : 85°C

Main method : UV-visible spectroscopy

All the measurements (PAH, H2S, UV254, NH4, PO4, Colour) are based on UV-VIS spectroscopy that brings fast and stable measurements with a simple hydraulic circuit for a high reliability.
All the measurements are done within 5 seconds except H2S, NH4 and PO4 that require about 3 minutes.
The UV source is a xenon flash lamp specified for 10^9 flashes that corresponds to more than 10 years of life time with one measurement every minute.
Three external turbidity probes (high, medium and low range) are also available if the measurement need to be done in situ, for example before filtering.

Hydrogen sulphide and ammonia : a unique method

The hydrogen sulphide and ammonia measurement are based on the UV absorption of the hydrogen sulphide gas or ammonia gas after a stripping phase. Consequently, the turbidity or colour of the sample has absolutely no influence and measurements can even be carried on activated sludge.

The ammonia gas has a typical periodic absorption spectrum that is analysed using a fast Fourier transform (FFT) that brings an exceptional selectivity. No interference has never been reported after years of operation on many different applications. A small quantity of hydrochloric acid is added to the sample for hydrogen sulphide, or NaOH solution for ammonia.

User-friendly interface

The colour touch screen and intuitive interface available in 8 different languages (Chinese, English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Turkish) makes very easy to test or configure the analyser. Many test functions allows to test and troubleshoot each element of the analysers (light signal, pumps, solenoid valves, etc...) to setup quickly a maintenance diagnostic.

Communication

Additional parameters are available like status code, error code, calibration values and pumps run time. Basic 4-20 mA output modules can be plugged on the main board for each measuring channel, in the limit of 12 modules. A USB port enables to download on any USB key the last 5000 recorded measurements as well as a diagnostic file containing the configuration and useful information for remote troubleshooting. The new web interface makes possible to drive remotely the analyser from any computer, tablet or i-phone with a web browser. For this, an optional Wi-Fi or Ethernet module is added inside the analyser to connect it to an existing network with an internet gateway. The recorded measurements file can be imported to Excel for graphs or other treatments. The software of the analyser can be upgraded by connecting a USB key.

Low maintenance and high reliability

The design has been specially oriented for low maintenance and high reliability on the measurements. To avoid deposits on the optical windows and tubing, the UV500 ATEX has a built-in automatic cleaning system that injects a 5% sulphuric solution normally once day. An auto-zero is performed at the same time to avoid any drift of the measurement. The patented flow cell limit the risk of clogging inside the flow cell. The level of the cleaning solution as well as reagents for H2S, NH4 or PO4 can be controlled at distance to plan the refill.
