Professionals in water utilities, environmental agencies, and industrial sectors require efficient and precise water testing solutions. The traditional methods often involve complex procedures and can be time-consuming. This factor and increasing regulatory requirements result in a growing demand for faster and more accurate testing technologies.

Kemio

Kemio is a water testing platform developed by Palintest, designed to meet the demands of modern water testing. Let’s explore its key features:

1. Simplicity: Kemio offers a user-friendly interface and intuitive operation which requires minimal training, making it accessible to a wide range of users.
2. Speed: Kemio provides rapid results within minutes, allowing quick decision-making and saving valuable time.
3. Accuracy: Utilizing advanced electrochemical measurement technology, Kemio ensures accurate and precise results. It eliminates human error and provides consistent readings for confident decision-making.
4. Versatility: The Kemio system covers many parameters, including disinfectants (e.g., free chlorine, total chlorine and peracetic acid) and heavy metals (with the Kemio Heavy Metals variation). It offers comprehensive testing capabilities for a variety of application.

Testing Analytes and Applications

Here’s a closer look at the specific analytes and applications covered by Kemio:

1. Disinfectants: Kemio measures free chlorine and total chlorine levels, crucial for ensuring proper disinfection in drinking water, swimming pools, and wastewater treatment plants. As well as peracetic acid used in the food industry. Tests include:
   • Chlorine 0.02 – 100 mg/L (Free)
   • Chlorine 0.02 – 500 mg/L (Total)
   • Chlorine Dioxide 0.02 – 50 mg/L
   • Chlorite 0.02 – 50 mg/L
   • Peracetic Acid (PAA) 0.02 – 4000 mg/L
2. Heavy Metals (Kemio Heavy Metals): The Kemio Heavy Metals’ variation detects heavy metal contaminants like lead, arsenic, and cadmium, ensuring compliance with regulatory limits and protecting human health. Tests include:
   • Lead 1 – 100 µg/L
   • Copper 100 – 2000 µg/L
   • Cadmium 0.2 – 10 µg/L
   • Arsenic 2 – 250 µg/L
3. All in one system (NEW Kemio Multi): This combines the above two-meters for a more comprehensive use where needed. Test include:
   • Chlorine 0.02 – 100 mg/L (Free)
   • Chlorine 0.02 – 500 mg/L (Total)
   • Chlorine Dioxide 0.02 – 50 mg/L
   • Chlorite 0.02 – 50 mg/L
   • Peracetic Acid (PAA) 0.02 – 4000 mg/L
   • Lead 1 – 100 µg/L
   • Copper 100 – 2000 µg/L
   • Cadmium 0.2 – 10 µg/L
   • Arsenic 2 – 250 µg/L

Applications

Kemio‘s versatility makes it suitable for various applications:

• Water Utilities: Kemio enables water companies to monitor disinfection processes, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards for drinking water safety.
• Environmental Monitoring: Kemio assists environmental agencies in assessing the quality of water bodies, such as rivers, lakes, and coastal areas. It helps detect and address contamination to preserve aquatic ecosystems.
