Ammonia is toxic to aquatic life, and the aquaculture industry frequently measures and controls its concentration to keep fish and shellfish alive. Regulatory requirements mandate ammonia testing and monitoring for diverse industries to protect downstream aquatic environments. Examples include wastewater, landfill, acid mine drainage and animal feeding operations where ammonia is measured in effluent, leachate, and unintended discharges. Environmental groups often test for ammonia in water bodies as part of their monitoring program to help them assess trends associated with other aquatic health indicators.

About yosemitech's Ammonia Sensor

Yosemitech NH4-N ISE sensor measures the concentration of dissolved ammonium as nitrogen (NH4-N) in water. The sensor uses pH, Ammonium Ion electrodes, and an optional potassium ion electrode to determine the NH4+-N concentration. It is designed for use in all kind of natural water, such as lakes, streams, rivers, as well as wastewater plants. The online sensor measures ammonium electron concentration without using any chemicals. With automatic wiper to clean up the electrode sensing surface and easy electrode replacement, Y560-A provides a quick, simple, and economical solution for ammonium concentration measurement.
