Fluorescein is a highly fluorescent dye used extensively in various industries. Typical applications include leak detection, wastewater monitoring, and cooling water & condensate return. It is particularly effective due to its visibility, even at very low concentrations. 🔬
Two main purposes:
Leak Detection: Fluorescein can help identify leaks in heat exchangers and other equipment by marking the coolant or process fluid. This ensures that any contamination is quickly detected and addressed, preventing costly downtime and potential safety hazards. 🦺
Process Monitoring: Real-time monitoring of fluorescein allows for precise control of chemical processes. Even if there are solids in the samples, the measurement remains accurate because solid particles do not fluoresce (glow in the dark).
Can Fluorescein be measured online and in real time?
Yes. The Kemtrak FL007 photometer is used to measure the fluorescence caused be the presence of fluorescein. The photometer can continuously monitor the fluid for traces of the dye at 360 nm. 🌈
🔑 Key benefits of the FL007:
Sensitivity: Detects concentrations from ppm to ppt!
Reliability: It ensures quick detection of leaks and precise process control, unaffected by solids in samples.
Versatility: Effective in various solutions, including ethylene glycol.
