Water Environment Dissolved Oxygen Detection Smart Dissolved Oxygen Sensor

1. Working Principle

Mainstream types are divided into fluorescence quenching method (optical method, mainstream for smart sensors on the market) and smart polarographic (electrochemical), with fluorescence method accounting for the vast majority.

1. Fluorescence quenching principle (optical smart DO）

The fluorescent membrane at the probe tip is affected by blue light LED Excitation produces red fluorescence; oxygen molecules in water quench the fluorescence. The higher the oxygen concentration, the shorter the fluorescence lifetime / The shorter the phase difference. The sensor detects the fluorescence lifetime, and the built-in algorithm combines temperature and salinity for automatic compensation to directly calculate the dissolved oxygen concentration.

Features: measurement does not consume oxygen in the water, no water flow required, no electrolyte needed, and no polarization waiting time.

2. Smart polarographic (Clark electrode)

Based on electrochemical reduction reaction, internally integrated MCUAutomatic polarization, temperature compensation, digital output; still requires electrolyte and oxygen-permeable membrane, needs a certain water flow, and maintenance workload is greater than the fluorescence method.

IV. Typical application scenarios

Wastewater treatment: aerobic zone of biochemical tanks / Online monitoring of dissolved oxygen in anoxic zones, linked to the aeration system to control fan operation.

Water environment monitoring: surface water, reservoirs, rivers, lake buoy stations, groundwater monitoring.

Aquaculture: real-time monitoring of dissolved oxygen in fish ponds and shrimp ponds, linked to automatic aerators for intelligent aquaculture control.

Industrial processes: circulating cooling water, biological fermentation, food and pharmaceutical process water monitoring.

Seawater monitoring: supports salinity compensation, used for ocean and coastal monitoring.

V. Selection and usage precautions

For sewage and high-algae water bodies, prioritize fluorescence smart sensors with self-cleaning brushes to reduce drift caused by biological attachment.

The fluorescent membrane cap is a consumable part with a normal service life 618 months, and needs to be replaced upon expiration.

Although frequent calibration is not required, it is recommended to regularly compare and calibrate with standard methods to ensure data compliance.

Installation should avoid large bubble impact to prevent bubbles from blocking the probe and causing data fluctuations.
