SPEC·IMAGINGSpec-Imaging supports both continuous spectral process monitoring and portable colorimetric analysis in turbid wastewater and process-water streams. Choose the measurement approach based on what you need to know.
Both IC-SPECTRO™ and IC-VIS™ use Spec-Imaging's scattering-aware optical approach to obtain useful measurements in samples where suspended particles interfere with conventional photometry. More on the technology →
Continuously measure UV-Vis spectral information in turbid process water and use the spectrum directly or through application-specific models to follow process-relevant parameters and changes.
Use portable visible-absorbance and reagent-based methods on turbid water samples, with scattering-aware optical measurement helping reduce bias from suspended particles.
See load and process changes between scheduled laboratory samples.
Use more frequent process information to support treatment decisions where validated.
Laboratory reference measurements can support calibration and validation instead of being the only source of process information.
Instant Clarity™ reduces / compensates for scattering influence on the reading — it does not eliminate the need for a suitable method or matrix-appropriate validation.
IC-SPECTRO™ is being installed for continuous full-spectrum UV-Vis monitoring of the wastewater process at Castellet Bruk — a real, ongoing project. Spec-Imaging is also developing wastewater-specific applications through a Vinnova-funded project with Lund University and NSVA.
View the Castellet Bruk project →The IC-VIS™ Method Library already includes calibrated methods from established reagent-kit suppliers (Hach, Macherey-Nagel, Merck, Lovibond) covering wastewater-relevant parameters such as COD, nitrate, nitrite, ammonium, phosphate, chlorine and TOC — loaded onto the instrument by scanning a QR code.
