Anti-Clog pH Electrode for Wastewater Treatment

Wastewater with high solids, oils, or biological sludge can quickly foul a conventional pH probe. An anti-clog pH electrode for wastewater uses specialized designs to maintain accuracy and reduce cleaning frequency.

Common Fouling Challenges

In sewage and industrial effluent, proteins, fats, and suspended solids coat the glass membrane and clog the reference junction. This causes drift, slow response, and frequent manual maintenance.

Anti-Clog Design Features

• Flat glass membrane: Easier to wipe clean and less likely to trap solids than spherical bulbs.
• Open junction reference: Resists clogging by allowing continuous electrolyte flow.
• Self-cleaning options: Automated wipers or ultrasonic cleaning extend service intervals.
• Durable housing: PPS or PVDF bodies resist chemical attack and abrasion.

Installation Best Practices

Install the sensor where flow velocity is high enough to sweep debris away, but not so high that it causes wear. Use a protective cage or flow assembly when immersion is necessary.
