The Hach EZ5001 is a high-performance multi-parameter online analyzer designed for the simultaneous determination of Total Hardness and Total Alkalinity in water. By integrating two essential titration methods into one automated system, it provides a comprehensive chemical overview necessary for process control in drinking water plants, cooling water systems, and industrial wastewater treatment.
The EZ5001 (No. EZ5001) is a sophisticated volumetric analyzer that automates complex laboratory procedures for continuous online monitoring. It employs two distinct titration methods: acid-base titration to determine Total Alkalinity and colorimetric EDTA titration with an integrated LED dipping probe to measure Total Hardness. This dual-method approach allows the system to deliver precise results for both parameters in a single, automated cycle. The analyzer features a smart controller that manages automatic validation, priming, and cleaning cycles, ensuring maximum uptime with minimal manual intervention. Its modular design allows for customization, including multi-stream analysis for up to 8 separate sample lines. The wet-chemical and electronic sections are strictly separated for safety, housed in an ergonomic IP44-rated cabinet with a transparent door for easy visual inspection of the analysis process.
Advantages
- Dual-Parameter Efficiency: Measures both Total Hardness and Total Alkalinity in a single unit, reducing the footprint and cost compared to two separate analyzers.
- High Precision Titration: Utilizes high-precision dispensers and robust peristaltic pumps to ensure accuracy better than 2% of the full-scale range.
- Automated Maintenance: Integrated self-cleaning and automatic validation features minimize operator intervention and prevent cross-contamination between samples.
- Modular Flexibility: Can be configured for multiple sample streams (1, 2, 4, or 8), significantly lowering the capital investment per sampling point.
- Industrial Reliability: Features an integrated industrial panel PC and a robust cabinet designed for demanding environmental and industrial sites.
- Trusted Analytics: Combines standard laboratory titration chemistry with modern automation to ensure data integrity for regulatory and process compliance.
