The Potassium Permanganate Detector
The Potassium Permanganate Detector
Our potassium permanganate sensor enables continuous monitoring of the pink color of the water. According to various water treatment system design guides, a pink water detector must be installed at the filter effluent if continuous regeneration is used. This system, called MAGC-1000, has been developed by Magnor and continuously monitors the color at the outlet of a treatment line using potassium permanganate (KMnO4) as a regenerant.
Componants of the potassium permanganate detector
- CSA-Certified digital color monitor
- Flow-through chamber with pink water probe
- Pressure reduction valve including pressure gauges
- A flow regulating valve
- Rotameter for flow measurement
- Connection piping and isolation valves
Our MAGC-1000 system is factory pre-assembled on a wall plate and ready for connection to the water treatment system.
How does the potassium permanganate detector work?
The MAGC-1000 detector from Magnor is an essential tool in any water treatment chain that uses potassium permanganate as an oxidizing or regenerating agent. This system enables continuous monitoring of the water leaving the filtration system. It also enables:
- Transmittance identification of KMnO4 color with a high-quality optical sensor installed in the flow chamber.
- The high sensitivity of the sensor means that pink water is detected at a lower level than that perceived by the naked eye.
Why use the permanganate detector?
There are several advantages to using MAGC-1000 in a water treatment chain. For example, the MAGC-1000:
- Uses no chemicals or reagents required for potassium permanganate detection;
- Allows continuous monitoring of color at the output of the process line;
- Is an easy-to-operate detector with adjustable sensitivity;
- Requires minimum intervention and infrequent maintenance.
