ProDetec supplies online water quality colour monitoring solutions for water utilities, municipal treatment plants, and industrial process operators across Australia. Continuous, real-time measurement of colour (Hazen units) and dissolved organic carbon as an integrated part of treatment process control.
Colour in source water is primarily caused by natural organic matter, including humic and fulvic acids, and elevated readings signal changes in catchment conditions that directly affect coagulant dosing, disinfection efficiency, and compliance with Australia’s Drinking Water Guidelines.
Without a reliable water quality monitor at the raw water intake and treatment stages, colour events can go undetected until they affect finished water quality, which creates compliance risk, consumer complaints, and costly reactive treatment adjustments.
ProDetec supplies the Sigrist ColorPlus range, which is a purpose-built online water quality monitoring instrument measuring colour and UV 254 simultaneously across up to three wavelengths, with automatic turbidity compensation for True Colour readings, tool-free fouling correction, and straightforward SCADA integration.
With over 22 years of experience and local service support across Australia, ProDetec provides end-to-end water quality colour monitoring solutions from specification through to long-term maintenance.
