Emerson Announces New Multiparameter Water Quality Analyzer

Emerson Process Management released: The Rosemount Analytical Model 56 is the industry's first high-resolution color screen analyzer. The Model 56 Analyzer provides a large number of full-color trend graphs, advanced control functions, large-capacity data loggers, audit trail event recorders, and digital communications capabilities.

"These features make the Model 56 analyzer suitable for applications such as power, water treatment, pharmaceuticals, and food processing. These industries require water analysis measurements and advanced control capabilities," said Dave Anderson, marketing director, Rosemount Analytical, Emerson Process Management. “Specific applications that benefit from these advanced features include: cooling towers for the power industry; reverse osmosis for the water treatment industry; wastewater treatment for the drinking water industry; online cleaning for the food processing industry and many other applications.”

Anderson continued: “The Model 56 Analyzer offers unprecedented ease of use. The Analyzer can provide a wealth of information about the process and its operation, both on the equipment and in the control room. Decision-making is critical. Several sites that have been evaluated have informed us that based on their ease of use, the Model 56 Analyzer makes the user's job easier.”

In order to transfer data to the plant's PLC, SCADA or DCS systems, the Model 56 has HART or PROFIBUS DP digital communication capabilities, and the HART Communication Version 5 and Release 7 protocols are standard on all configurations. HART can also be easily added to the WirelessHART network through the Wireless Smart THUM Adapter, enabling wireless transmission of process variables and diagnostic information in hard to reach locations.

The modular design of the Model 56 Analyzer allows the addition of measurement channels to a single-input instrument. With simple wiring and quick start-up, the field instrument can be reconfigured. The quick start programming screen automatically recognizes the type of each measurement input and prompts the user to configure each sensor loop. With just a few simple steps, quick commissioning can be achieved.

The Rosemount Analytical Model 56 Analyzer's measurement capabilities include single-input/dual-input and can measure: pH, ORP, ISE (ion selective electrode), resistivity/point conductivity, percent concentration, total chlorine, residual chlorine, Chloramines, dissolved oxygen, gaseous oxygen, dissolved ozone, turbidity, pulsed flow, and temperature accept and process 4-20mA current input signals from any device (powered or unpowered).
