VAPEX SENTINEL

The Vapex SENTINEL S5 is the newest generation from the SENTINEL technology. The S5 has improved algorithms, the newest components and an upgraded user interface but retains the proprietary core technology. As the original multi-gas analyzer the SENTINEL delivers consistent and reliable gas measurement data to optimize all properties that affect wet scrubber efficiency and longevity.

The S5 continuously monitors, analyzes and records the concentration of the gases entering and exiting the wet scrubber. The S5 sends a signal to chemical pumps modulating the chemical flow to the scrubber. The proprietary algorithm keeps gas concentrations at the customer’s specified setpoint preventing over-dosing and wasting chemicals. In addition, the S5 has the ability to monitor pH, ORP and pressure ­­— parameters that indicate scrubber efficiency.
