Revolutionary Multiparameter Sensor Incorporating Dissolved Oxygen, Salinity, pH and Temperature for the Aquaculture and Environmental Monitoring Industries

对可持续食物来源的需求是显而易见的，不断增长的人口和不断增加的温室气体排放意味着需要找到传统农业和农业生产的替代品。这种需求是水产养殖业大幅增长的关键原因，与传统农业技术相比，水产养殖业可以实现集约化产量，对环境影响很小。在这些行业中，为了高效和可持续地生产高产量，需要对水质进行常规监测。水质监测的关键化学参数是溶解氧、盐度/电导率和pH值。ANB的免校准pH、盐度和温度传感器是下一代传感器平台的基础。这种多传感器能够准确、免校准地运行，并具有板载质量保证/控制。它基于创新的传感化学原理，可以测量从淡水到海水的整个盐度范围内的pH值。在该项目中，建议开发一种溶解氧测量，与无需校准的pH值、盐度和温度一起工作，作为一个统一的、易于部署的单元。这款多参数传感器将改变最终用户的游戏规则，为ANB传感器带来新的知识产权和产品。这些产品最终将取代其现有技术，并推动公司进入下一个发展阶段，成为水质监测领域的领导者。

The need for sustainable food sources is evident, rising populations, and increasing emissions of greenhouse gases mean alternatives to traditional farming and agricultural productions need to be found. This need is the key reason why there has been significant growth in the aquaculture industry, an industry that allows crop production in intensive yields with little environmental impact compared to conventional farming techniques. In these industries, to produce high yields efficiently and sustainably, the quality of the water needs to be routinely monitored.The key chemical parameters for water quality monitoring are dissolved oxygen, salinity/conductivity and pH. ANB's calibration-free pH, salinity and temperature sensor is the foundation for the next-generation sensor platform. This multi-sensor is capable of accurate, calibration-free operation, with onboard quality assurance/control. It is based on innovative sensing chemistry which permits the determination of pH across the entire salinity range - from freshwater to seawater.In this project, the development of a dissolved oxygen measurement to work alongside the calibration-free pH, salinity and temperature, as one consolidated, easy-to-deploy unit is being proposed. This multiparameter sensor will be a game-changer for the end-user resulting in new intellectual property and products for ANB Sensors. These products will ultimately supersede its current technology and drive the company into its next stage of growth to firmly become a leader in water quality monitoring.
