Solu-Blu™ Dissolved CO2 Probe

RELIABLE DISSOLVED CO₂ MEASUREMENT SOLUTIONS FOR AQUACULTURE & RESEARCH

The Solu-Blu™ series is the optimal combination of rugged design, ease of use, and flexibility in a single sensor package. Measurement of dissolved gas in liquids is performed via a semi-permeable membrane, allowing gas to diffuse from the water into the sensor’s headspace, where precise measurements are taken. This is an ideal solution for continuous monitoring to safeguard the health of aquatic life and control water quality.

Solu-Blu™ CO₂ Sensor System Components

• Semi-permeable Membrane Technology: Uses a specialized membrane that allows gas to diffuse from the water into the sensor’s headspace, ensuring accurate measurement of free dissolved CO₂ and partial pressure (pCO₂).

• Smart Features: Fully integrated temperature and pressure compensation. Users can input salinity values for automatic instrument calibration, ensuring results remain accurate across diverse environments.

• Flexible Installation: Supports flow-through adapters and direct in-line piping installation, optimized for industrial systems and aquaculture farms.

• “Plug-and-Play” Design: Compact and easily integrated, saving time and effort for daily operations.

Practical Applications

• Aquaculture: Monitoring CO₂ in Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS) to maintain fish health and effectively control aeration systems.

• Hatcheries: Monitoring source water for mollusk hatcheries (clams, mussels, snails, oysters), protecting stocks from carbonate corrosion and acidification.

• Transportation: Monitoring CO₂ during the transport of live commercial fish.

• Environmental Research: Measuring CO₂ in lakes, rivers, and shallow groundwater studies.

Monitoring & Analytical Capabilities

• Stability: Rugged, ultra-durable design suitable for long-term, 24/7 continuous on-site monitoring.

• Portability: Compact size, easily deployed in space-constrained environments.

• Easy Integration: “Plug-and-play” sensor technology optimizes system management and control, providing useful feedback control for aeration systems.
