Press Release Summary:
(October 23, 2008) Specialist electrochemical sensor manufacturer Analytical
Technology (ATi) announces the availability of its innovative Q45WQ Water Quality
Panel. This flexible system allows constant on-line monitoring of any remaining
disinfectant and up to 6 other parameters in water distribution systems and moveable
water treatment facilities. Without the need for expensive chemicals, reagents or
buffers, the Q45WQ Water Quality Panel can be used to identify possible contaminants
in the water supply, providing reliable measurements of finished water quality. A
free of charge datasheet can be found at www.analyticaltechnology.com.

Continuous Online Monitoring of Drinking Water Applications in Network Monitoring
and Protection of Supply

(October 23, 2008) Specialist electrochemical sensor manufacturer Analytical
Technology (ATi) announces the availability of its innovative Q45WQ Water Quality
Panel. This flexible system allows constant on-line monitoring of any remaining
disinfectant and up to 6 other parameters in water distribution systems and moveable
water treatment facilities. Without the need for expensive chemicals, reagents or
buffers, the Q45WQ Water Quality Panel can be used to identify possible contaminants
in the water supply, providing reliable measurements of finished water quality. A

Disinfection of water is a major public health concern and it is essential to
reinforce protection against microbial contaminants. In Europe, strict regulations
have been employed by the Brussels Commission to limit the amount of micro-organisms
and chemical substances permitted in water. The Surface Water Treatment Rule (SWTR)
adopted by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) also regulates turbidity
performance criteria and monitoring requirements. Analytical Technology's Q45WQ
Water Quality Panel ensures that levels of disinfectant are in compliance with these
legislations.

Many water companies have concerns about the possibility of deliberate contamination
of the water supply. Work carried out by the US EPA (reference and report available
on request) has shown that simultaneous monitoring of common ater quality parameters
can be used to 'fingerprint' a water supply.
Many common toxic contaminants cause spikes in the data from monitors such as
conductivity, pH, ORP, chlorine etc.

This new panel is capable of monitoring a number of these key parameters. A
reagentless monitor measures residual chlorine. An LED or white light based
turbidity monitor can cover ranges form 0-0.4NTU all the way up to 4000 NTU.
The sensor is stable, offering self-adjusting electronic zero to monitor turbidity
with an extensive range. Conductivity is measured by a 4 electrode sensors to cover
a wide conductivity range of measurement without the need for multiple sensors. The
Q45WQ Water Quality Panel is capable of offering particle count data ranges from
2-400 microns. It also can provide pH data ranges from 0-14 and ORP data
between-1000 to +2000 mV.. A single combination ion selective electrode is used to
measure fluoride ranges from 1000 PPM down to 0.1 PPM. Meanwhile, a rebuildable
cartridge style membraned sensor is applied to measure dissolved oxygen ranges from
0-20 PPM. In addition, the panel can monitor the level of inlet pressure from 0 to
200 PSIG and sample flow rate between 0-30 GPH.

The panel can be used to monitor all the vital water quality parameters in a single
easy to fit unit.
