Auto Sampler or Automatic Water Sampler
The auto sampler is a highly useful device to sample fluids. It automatically collects samples at planned intervals from a channel or basin. You only need to input the time intervals and the desired sample volume into the device’s display, and the rest of the process is controlled by the machine consistent with the programmed schedule. This device has the capability to cool and store samples separately, allowing them to be tested at any time.
The auto sampler includes a set of multiple containers, such as bottles, that are filled individually and stored within the device. Therefore, analyzing the bottles in a batch provides an average representation of a fluid’s behavior over the collection period.
Why is an Automatic Water Sampler the Best Technique for Wastewater Monitoring?
Monitoring wastewater is regularly conducted in large water and wastewater facilities. The use of an auto sampler extends the scope of monitoring. The cost of non-automated sampling and the non-standard nature of manual sampling methods are momentous reasons why an automatic sampler is crucial in treatment plants.
The auto sampler can collect up to 24 individual samples over 24 hours without the need for an operator and without the risk of spreading contaminants. It stores the samples in a completely cool and sealed environment. In addition, the auto sampler can be programmed for specific time intervals.
Applications of an Automatic Water Sampler:
Water sampling
Floodwater sampling
Surface water sampling
River water sampling
Well water sampling
Watershed monitoring
Sampling for quality assurance (in factories producing soda, milk packaging, beverages, etc.)
Wastewater sampling (industrial, hospital, and municipal wastewater)
Sludge sampling before treatment
Benefits of Using an Automatic Water Sampler:
Allows for controlled time sampling, with samples collected in separate bottles.
Equipped with a safe cooling system that guarantees excellent safety for fluid samples.
Continuous monitoring with automatic samplers enables timely detection of undesirable conditions or material leaks, allowing for the minimization of their negative effects.
The possibility of errors in automatic sampling is much lower than in manual sampling. Even with a well-trained operator, manual sampling still carries the risk of mistakes in timing, sampling techniques, or recording results.
Automatic sampling delivers timely and accurate results without being interrupted by operator breaks during nights, weekends, or holidays.
