- Real-Time Data. For your choice of parameters
- Measure Bacteria/Coliforms. Proteus is the first instrument to measure bacteria/coliforms in drinking water in real-time
- Self Cleaning. Built in wiper which cleans sensors before every cycle
- Easy Integration. Easily integrated with telemetry/SCADA systems and other datalogging devices
An award-winning multi-parameter, real-time sensor platform (portable or permanent) that accurately and reliably measures BOD, COD and faecal coliforms for permanent and temporary applications.
The Proteus is the world’s first scientifically proven real-time sensor for measuring BOD that can measure a wide range of applications. A multiprobe that measures your choice of parameter, all in one package, that can deliver data in the toughest field conditions. The Proteus has been designed for its ease of use, reliable data and economical operation.
The Proteus is a brand new multi parameter sensor platform for real-time measurement of BOD, COD, TOC and Coliforms (total, e.coli or faecal) that compensates for temperature and turbidity. The Proteus can be easily integrated with any telemetry / SCADA system and can also be used with existing logging devices with external RS232/Modbus/SDI 12. Its integrated datalogger can store 1,000,000 readings which can be viewed on mobile phone / tablet.
The Proteus multi-probe can be configured to the users choice of parameters and offers a unique platform to add additional sensors such as pH, REDOX, electrical conductivity, dissolved oxygen and many others.
