The FLUORImat (Fluorescence) is an inline sensor that uses fluorescence measurement to continuously and contactlessly monitor trace substances, contaminants, and fluorescent compounds in liquids, providing early warning of contamination.
The FLUORImat operates on the principle of UV-induced fluorescence for the precise detection of oil in water. UV light is absorbed by the hydrocarbons contained in the oil, particularly unsaturated hydrocarbons, and converted into longer-wavelength fluorescent light. As the excited molecules return to their ground state, they emit light in the yellow-green spectrum. The intensity of this fluorescence signal increases directly in proportion to the oil concentration, enabling even the smallest traces of contamination to be detected reliably while providing exceptionally high measurement sensitivity.
To ensure maximum measurement accuracy, influences such as turbidity, contamination of the measuring windows, and aging of the UV light source are automatically compensated by ratio measurement. The system is designed for continuous operation and can be installed directly in pipelines up to DN50 or alternatively in a bypass configuration. It is calibrated specifically for each application and can be supplied with suitable process connections and sealing materials to meet individual process requirements.

The Model C1 Signal Amplifier is compatible with most optical sensors from the Monitek and Chemtronic product ranges. System programming and calibration are carried out via a PC or laptop using intuitive menu-driven software. Calibration can be performed with one or multiple reference samples. All configuration settings and calibration data can be securely stored on the PC’s hard drive for backup and future use.
