Sampling

This is the most specific phase. Indeed, depending on the type of effluent, the extraction can be more or less difficult because, in addition to the variation in fluidity, turbidity and pH can vary which will require different methods.

Similarly, volumes, frequency and number of samples are parameters that influence the type of sampler.

Filtration

Among the disruptors of the sampling process, first and foremost, is the quality of the fluid to be sampled.

It may be necessary, in order not to damage the sampler or to store the sample, to proceed with filtration. This will alter the quality of the sample as it will denature it. Since part of the sample will be stopped before the end of the process, what has been sampled will not be completely representative.

Distribution

Once the sample is "formatted", it is then directed to one of the collectors (if several are programmed) which will store it. The volume and time between two samples will be predefined.

Cleaning

Another important parameter is the validity of the sample. Indeed, if a sample is taken at time t0 and a second sample needs to be taken at time t1 with the same path, even if only partial, what remains of the previous sample must be removed to avoid contaminating the next sample.

Or not...

• It is possible to keep what remains of the previous sample if the volume sampled is much larger than what remains in the pipes;
• It is possible to redirect what remains to a drain at the beginning or end of sampling;
• Water or air can be used to purge the pipes.
• A specific cycle is provided for pipe purging.

But there is always the risk of leaving a contaminant, either at the inlet or outlet. This must always be kept in mind.

Sampler Range

To address these different types of problems, we offer a range that we expand according to needs:

• A 1 input, 6 output sampler controlled by Bluetooth application
• A modular 10 input/output sampler (under development).
• A sampler-blocker (for specific industrial application: under development)

Common characteristics include modularity and high reparability.
