The RESPIROMETRIC Sensor is the versatile, compact and reliable solution for aerobic and anaerobic respiration tests.
The VELP
RESPIROMETRIC Sensor is designed to provide a precise, reliable and smart solution to laboratories of
water and wastewater quality control,
organic waste treatment plants,
renewable energy production end
environmental labs studying the effects of plastic and other pollutants in water and soils.
The new RESPIROMETRIC Sensor is the evolution of the successful BOD EVO that has been the first wireless BOD sensor in the market.
Together with wireless data transmission to the PC, the new RESPIROMETRIC Sensor features exclusive connectivity to the VELP Ermes Cloud Platform and has a wider application range since it is suitable for aerobic and anaerobic degradation analysis.
AEROBIC TESTS:
- BOD 5, BOD 7 and BOD Ultimate
- Assessment of the effects of disinfection on BOD determination
- Biodegradation of monomers
- Biodegradability of plastic materials in an aqueous medium
- Soil respiration analysis
ANAEROBIC TESTS:
- BMP – Biochemical Methane Potential
- Denitrification analysis
Versatile and Scalable Sensors with Unique Wireless Control
VELP RESPIROMETRIC Sensor is able to perform any kind of respirometric studies thanks to its powerful pressure sensor reading results in the range of 500 ÷ 2000 mbar (hPa).
The RESPIROMETRIC Sensor comes with the proprietary software RESPIROSoft™ designed by VELP to operate with the new sensors. RESPIROSoft™is extremely intuitive and easy to use providing all important information of the analysis and the sensor's battery status in one window.
The VELP DataBox™ is included in the Systems together with the RESPIROSoft™ software and enables wireless data transmission from the RESPIROMETRIC Sensor to the PC.
Thanks to the DataBox™ it is possible to manage up to 48 RESPIROMETRIC Sensors (8 systems of any kind) with one single PC.
Furthermore, the DataBox™ comes with an integrated Wi-Fi module to transmit data from the sensors to the VELP ERMES Cloud Platform.
The right System for your Application
The VELP RESPIROMETRIC Sensor Systems contain all the required parts and accessories in order to be operational right from the start.
VELP has designed different systems suitable for aerobic and anaerobic applications
RESPIROMETRIC Sensor System - BOD AND OTHER AEROBIC RESPIRATION TESTS
The RESPIROMETRIC Sensor System is designed to be a versatile solution with a minimum footprint for aerobic degradation tests for Industrial and Domestic water quality testing.
- Ideal for: BOD5, BOD7, BOD Ultimate, Assessment of disinfection on BOD.
- BOD scales: 90, 250, 600, 999, 4000 (higher values after dilution).
- Biodegradation of monomers application to study the microbial activities involved in the production plastics.
Included in the system: Stirring station, 500 ml amber bottles, KOH containers, stirring bars, DataBox™ and RESPIROSoft™ software.
RESPIROMETRIC Sensor System MAXI - BMP AND OTHER ANAEROBIC RESPIRATION TESTS
The RESPIROMETRIC Sensor System Maxi is designed to support anaerobic respiration studies to determine the
Biochemical Methane Potential (BMP) of biomass. The BMP analysis studies the production of biogas from organic wastes mainly for Waste and Wastewater treatment and for Renewable Energy Production.
- Results reading in Pressure (millibar) and automatic conversion in BMP value (NmLCH4/gSV)
- The system is suitable also for other anaerobic studies such as Denitrification Tests.
Included in the system: Maxi stirring station, 1000 ml bottles, KOH containers, stirring bars, DataBox™ and RESPIROSoft™ software.
RESPIROMETRIC Sensor System for Plastic Biodegradability
The RESPIROMETRIC Sensor System for plastic biodegradability is designed to support
aerobic degradation test for the determination of the degree of
biodegradability of plastic materials, including those containing formulation additives, in an aqueous medium.
- Multistirrer Digital 6-positions to precisely set stirring speed and enable the lock feature to avoid unintentional modification of the stirring speed.
- Results reading in Pressure values (millibar).
Included in the system: Multistirrer Digital 6-positions, 6 Kits plastic biodegradability analysis, stirring bars, DataBox™ and RESPIROSoft™ software.
RESPIROMETRIC Sensor System for Soil Analysis
The RESPIROMETRIC Sensor System for soil analysis is designed to support aerobic degradation tests on soil and compost. The analysis provides
microbial soil respiration results from the mineralization of organic substances. A major application of these tests is related to the detection and monitoring processes during
decontaminations and
clean-ups.
- The analysis is carried out directly on soil/compost in the 1000ml flask.
- Results reading in Pressure values (millibar).
Included in the system: 6 Kits soil analysis, DataBox™ and RESPIROSoft™ software.
