Sensors for a clean environment: Endress+Hauser Conducta is revolutionising measurement engineering
Gerlingen, 5th November 2009 - Be it chlorine, nitrate or phosphate – pollutants which affect the environment are found in many different places. To be effective in how we protect our sensitive environment, precise analyses are indispensable. However, the analogue measuring devices used up til now for the analysis of liquids are prone to dysfunctions, making measurements in damp and dirty surroundings particularly difficult and unreliable. Endress+Hauser Conducta in Gerlingen has now found a solution to this problem. Its Memosens technology makes it possible to take measurements without physical contact with the substance and ensures that the analysed data can be transferred to the laboratory safely and reliably. The process is digital and direct, even from inaccessible places like some areas of sewage plants. Independent of external influences, this technology enables an interference-free connection even over long distances. Memosens is considered a revolution in measurement engineering and is creating international interest and proving its worth in every field of industry.
“Analysis for the protection of the environment” will be named as a “Selected Landmark in the Land of Ideas” on 5th November 2009
