SWT50i: Sensirion’s first water quality sensor

Sensirion’s new SWT50i sensor is the first product in the family of water quality sensing. The sensor uses a measurement principle based on UV absorption-based measurement principle and impresses with its small size, easy integrability and cost-effectiveness.

The SWT50i sensor helps to assess organic substances in water and supports the user in controlling water treatment processes and monitoring water quality. The sensor acts as a photometer, measuring absorption in the UV-C range, and allows the user to monitor typical organic contaminants and various pollutants such as benzene, antibiotics, pesticides, detergents, plastics and solvents. The exceptionally small size (70 x 70 x 70 mm) and flow-through design enables easy integration into challenging designs while meeting the highest demands for reliability and cost-effectiveness.

Organic pollutants, climate change and the associated water shortages are putting an increased strain on the precious resource of water. Measurement technology plays a major role here, helping to increase the efficiency of purification processes, monitoring their effectiveness, and ensuring compliance with legal guidelines (more info).
