Problem
Traditional electrochemical sensors for in-situ water quality monitoring often suffer from fouling, structural degradation, and the need for frequent maintenance, leading to inaccurate readings and increased operational costs. Existing sensors may also be too expensive for widespread deployment, especially for direct measurement of specific parameters.
Solution
DIAMSENS provides durable and low-maintenance electrochemical sensors for in-situ water quality monitoring, leveraging the unique properties of diamond nanocrystals. Their sensors utilize a patented electrical self-cleaning process to eliminate fouling and maintain accuracy over extended periods, reducing the need for recalibration. By employing microelectronics techniques, DIAMSENS offers diamond-based sensors at an affordable price point, enabling direct measurement of parameters like chlorine and nitrate. The sensors are designed for simplified use, providing reliable values in a digital format through multi-sensor modules connected via a single cable. Software libraries are also available to facilitate integration with existing measurement stations.
