PROBEST PUVCOD-900 UV254 Spectrometer Organic Sensor, Online COD BOD TOC Water Quality Probe

Product Description

PROBEST PUVCOD-900 UV254 spectrometer organic sensor measures COD/BOD/TOC without reagents. Direct immersion probe, auto cleaning, IP68, MODBUS RS485 for sewage, industrial & fishery wastewater online continuous monitoring


PROBEST PUVCOD-900 is a UV254 spectrometer organic water sensor adopting ultraviolet absorption principle to detect soluble organic pollutants in water by SAC254 spectral absorption coefficient. It can convert real-time data 

into COD, BOD and TOC values via KHP calibration. This immersion online water probe requires no chemical 

reagents, delivers fast response, supports automatic cleaning and MODBUS RS485 communication, widely used for 

sewage plant, industrial effluent, surface water and aquaculture wastewater continuous organic load monitoring.



The PROBEST PUVCOD-900 Spectrometer Organic Sensor is a reagent-free in-situ water quality monitoring probe 

independently developed by PROBEST, designed for long-term continuous online measurement of organic 

contamination in all types of water bodies. Based on 254nm UV light absorption characteristics of dissolved organic compounds, the sensor calculates SAC254 absorption coefficient and converts readings to COD, BOD and TOC concentration with standard KHP calibration, eliminating the need for sampling, chemical reagents and complicated pre-treatment procedures compared with traditional laboratory chemical analysis methods.

Equipped with built-in automatic cleaning mechanism, the PUVCOD-900 effectively reduces biofouling and routine maintenance workload, featuring ultra-short response time for real-time continuous data output. Adopting SUS316L / titanium alloy body and IP68 waterproof protection, this COD BOD TOC sensor withstands freshwater and marine harsh environments, supporting MODBUS RS485 digital signal output for seamless integration with PLC, data loggers and remote water monitoring systems. It is the ideal online monitoring equipment for wastewater treatment plants, industrial discharge, river surface water and fishery breeding water organic pollution control.

H2:1. Measurement Principle of PROBEST PUVCOD-900 Organic Sensor

The PROBEST PUVCOD-900 spectrometer organic sensor relies on the unique UV absorption reaction of organic substances in water. When 254nm ultraviolet light passes through water samples, dissolved organic compounds will absorb UV light at 254nm wavelength. The sensor calculates the SAC254 spectral absorption coefficient according to light attenuation degree, then converts absorption data into COD, BOD or TOC concentration under KHP standard calibration conditions.
This optical UV detection method realizes fully continuous real-time monitoring without chemical reagents, avoiding secondary pollution caused by chemical digestion in traditional COD laboratory testing, greatly improving detection efficiency and reducing operation cost for long-term water quality supervision.


H2:2. Core Product Features


H3:2.1 Direct Immersion Probe Design, No Sampling & Pretreatment

The PUVCOD-900 adopts fully submersible integrated probe structure, which can be directly installed in sewage pools, drainage outlets, rivers and aquaculture ponds without sampling pumps, flow cells or pre-filtration devices, simplifying on-site installation construction.


H3:2.2 Zero Chemical Reagents, Eco-Friendly No Secondary Pollution

Unlike chemical digestion COD analyzers, this UV254 organic sensor does not consume any reagents during operation, no waste liquid discharge, meets environmental protection emission standards, lowers long-term operating cost for industrial wastewater monitoring stations.


H3:2.3 Fast Response Speed for Continuous Real-Time Measurement

Ultra-short signal response time supports uninterrupted 24h online data collection, capturing sudden organic load surges in sewage treatment process in real time, supporting early warning of pollution discharge abnormity.


H3:2.4 Built-in Automatic Cleaning Function, Low Maintenance Cost

The integrated self-cleaning device regularly cleans the optical window to prevent algae, sludge and biofilm adhesion, stabilize measurement accuracy and drastically cut manual maintenance frequency and labor cost.


H3:2.5 Industrial-Grade Durability & Stable Digital Communication

Sensor body optional SUS316L stainless steel (freshwater) or titanium alloy (marine seawater), IP68/NEMA6P full waterproof rating, MODBUS RS485 communication protocol compatible with most industrial control systems and water monitoring platforms.
