BRAN+LUEBBE POWERMON ANALYZERS CAN HANDLE THE MOST DIFFICULT APPLICATIONS.

PowerMon analyzers can be configured for multi-channel, multi-parameter measurement requirements to provide a cost-effective, integrated measurement and control station complete with a color graphical touchscreen display for ease of operation. PowerMon analyzers are supplied in waterproof housings complete with a secure space for reagent supplies and accessories. These analyzers are ideal for effluent streams from chemical, food, and pulp and paper plants.

At the other end of the spectrum, there are many different applications where clean and ultra clean water is produced and maintained. Examples range from potable water to steam generation systems. Although they all have common elements of feed water treatment, the drive towards higher efficiency results in ever more complex systems. PowerMon analyzers can measure the key performance parameters at every stage of the process, from incoming water hardness measurement to silicates with a sub-ppb detection limit.

What applications are Bran+Luebbe water analyzers used for?

Bran + Luebbe analyzers are field proven in a great many applications. With versatile method setup and automation, samples can be mixed with formulated for-the-purpose reagents to provide reliable, accurate and consistent results year after year. Measurement ranges vary from trace materials to percentage measurements. If you can’t find what you are looking for, let us know—we may have a solution for you!

Drinking Water

Ensure quality and disinfection levels
Meet compliance requirements
Measure metals levels – Al, Fe, Mn
Nitrates
Monitor chlorination levels
Hardness levels
APHA/Hazen/PtCo Color

Clean drinking water is a priority for the world. In the developed world, we take for granted the availability of clean potable water for our everyday use. What we don’t see behind the scenes is the effort that goes into ensuring our water supplies are safe and uninterrupted. Bran+Luebbe online analyzers can help ensure water delivered to distribution networks meets the highest possible standards.

Oil & Gas

Produced water – many different substances can be measured before discharge
Injection water
Steam plant

Produced water is an ever-present part of oil recovery and production. Separated from the raw crude oil, produced water can contain a wide variety of substances, some benign and some not so friendly. Before discharge back to the environment, produced water must be thoroughly cleaned and all traces of these substances removed. The installation of Bran+Luebbe analyzers can help monitor outflows to ensure compliance to discharge limits is met and prevent costly fines and clean up when problems do occur.

Power Plants

Maintain boiler feed water at optimum levels
Silicates, PO4, iron, sodium, chlorides
Prevent scaling
Improve efficiency
pH
Total hardness
Discharge water

The prevention of scaling in power plant boilers is one of the most important actions to be taken in day to day operations for a power plant to run at peak performance. Proper attention to scale build-up can save literally millions of dollars for power plant owners and operators

With increased scrutiny on environmental pollution, it’s important to monitor plant discharge. Bran+Luebbe provides a battery of analyzers to ensure discharge remains in compliance—benefitting plant and environment alike!

Wastewater

Discharge to rivers and water courses
Demonstrate discharge limit compliance
COD/BOD
Toxic materials
NO3, PO4, NH4 levels
Consent parameter monitoring

Wastewater streams contain a wide variety of materials that must be controlled and removed before treated water is discharged to the environment. Even small amounts of toxic substances can create havoc in the wastewater treatment process. Bran+Luebbe filtration systems can provide clean samples to an analyzer from streams with heavy suspended solids and give you the measurements you need to fully control and operate your plant.

PowerMon NG Analyzer

The Bran+Luebbe PowerMon NG analyzer platform provides the basis of a variety of measurement techniques to cover the widest possible application set available. Photometry, spectrophotometry, titration and electrochemical analysis techniques are used in conjunction with standard chemical buffers and reagents to determine the concentration of substances via continuous sample streams in the process and environmental applications.

Multiple techniques can be combined in a single analyzer. In addition, other sensors (e.g. oxygen, pH, redox, conductivity, etc.) can be included and monitored within a PowerMon NG to provide enhanced control capabilities at very low additional cost. The PowerMon NG platform is ideally suited for locations where the measurement of multiple parameters is required from a common sample stream(s). Each PowerMon analyzer can sample and analyze up to 6 sample streams.

The PowerMon NG product family offers real-time reliable measurement solutions with the lowest maintenance overheads in the industry. Key measurement and detection technologies implemented in the analyzer platform provide extended, unmonitored runtime capabilities while predictive diagnostic routines provide guidance and warnings to reduce the occurrence of unplanned downtime.

PowerMon NG analyzers offer a variety of measurement options, and Bran+Luebbe offers multiple compatible sample conditioning systems.

PowerMon NG analyzers have flexible I/O capability and can be used for control functions such as actuation and control of metering pumps and valves. Built-in high capacity data logging archives measurement data for download onto a USB memory device in remote installations. Connectivity to supervisory control systems can be implemented through conventional analog outputs or bus data communications technology.

When used for outflows from municipal and industrial treatment plants, the PowerMon NG functions as a compliance monitor to ensure prescribed discharge limits are met.

Data communications capability is provided for remote operation, and analyzers can be operated locally through the color touchscreen.

CeraClean Sample Conditioning System

The advanced design of the CeraClean sample condition system removes solids, colloids and high molecular weight interfering substances from dirty sample streams, delivering a continuous supply of purified sample for analysis by Bran+Luebbe PowerMon NG analyzers. Clean filtrate passes through the filter tube and is pumped to the analyzer. Blockages are minimized by tangential flow through the filter and automatic back-flushing dramatically extends filter life to increase time between manual cleaning.

CeraClean is designed for reliable unattended operation with low energy consumption and overall low maintenance overhead.

Low dead volume gives rapid response time
Robust construction for long life
Resistant to strong chemicals
Longer intervals between manual cleaning
Small footprint size
Low energy consumption
Low operating costs
Supplied pre-mounted for easy installation

Applications:

Sewage and industrial water treatment plants
Degreasing baths
Sludge sampling
Automatic washing installations
Garbage dump leachate

Inline Sample Filtration System

Bran+Luebbe inline filter modules are ideal for extracting a sample from an open pit or channel. The filter module is submerged into the pit and sample is drawn through its large surface area filtration face. Samples are solids-free and ready for analysis by a PowerMon NG analyzer mounted nearby. The inline filter has a low maintenance overhead. Every few weeks, all that is required is to raise it, wipe it, and put back in service! The entire process takes only minutes.

Weight: < 4 kg
Filter size: 13.8” x 17.7” / 350 x 450 mm
Adjustable filtrate flow rate
Distance from analyzer: max. 330 ft / 100 m
Glass fiber control cabinet
Includes diaphragm pump and pressure gauge

In-line filtration options:

Special filter media for UV and chemical resistance
Heated sample line with thermostat
