Do you have any concerns like these about pH management?

  • Maintenance being workload
  • Short of hands
  • Concerns about proper pH management

Our solution for these problems…

Self-cleaning pH Electrode
6122 series

●UV light and photocatalyst decompose organic dirt
●Reduce frequency of cleaning and calibration*
●Contribute to man-hour reduction

*The effect varies depending on the customer's usage environment. Effective against organic stains.

Developed a pH electrode using antifouling technology.

[Example in wastewater treatment process]

Self-cleaning Mechanism

The pH-responsive glass membrane is coated with porous TiO2 and irradiated with UV light from within the electrode. This process activates the TiO2 coating, resulting in photocatalytic hydrophilicity and the formation of a water film (hydrophilic layer) on the surface, effectively preventing the adhesion of organic contaminants. Furthermore, the activated TiO2 facilitates the radicalization of water (H2O) and oxygen, enabling the disintegration of organic contaminants adhering to the external surface of the electrode.


Case studies using Self-cleaning pH Electrodes

Comparison of running costs with conventional pH meters (Simulation in Japan)

47% cost reduction over 10 years of operation!
First-year costs are reduced by 16% compared to conventional electrodes. *1*2*3

*1 Comparison with our Industrial Gel-filled pH Electrode (6155 Series).
*2 Labor cost is 60 yen/minute, with the daily maintenance work duration being 30 minutes, and maintenance frequency being daily.
*3 The effectiveness may vary depending on the customer's operating environment.
*4 Maintenance costs include man-hours for tasks such as cleaning, calibration of the pH meter, travel time to the site, and cleanup.
*5 Expenses for consumables are calculated based on an electrode replacement cycle of once per year.
