How pH and ORP Sensors Work: Principles and Practice in Water Quality Monitoring Webinar

The Cleveland Water Alliance and YSI, a Xylem brand, are proud to offer a FREE educational webinar series on sensing technologies for everyone working with water quality monitoring, from students and undergraduates to professionals.

The pH of a water body can affect nearly all aquatic life in a system, and the oxidative-reductive potential is a related, but underappreciated parameter particularly in environmental and wastewater applications.

This webinar will be focusing on:

• Reasons to measure both pH and ORP
• The principles of operation of Ion Selective Electrodes (ISEs) as they’ve been adapted from the laboratory to the field
• Best practices for maintaining and troubleshooting measurements
• Real-world practice to demonstrate both the value and limitations of field-deployed pH and ORP sensors.

The live presentation of this webinar was on September 10th, 2019 at 6pm Irish Time. Therefore registrations for this webinar are now closed.

Please let us know if you are interested in learning more about the YSI pH and ORP Sensors. Our Sales Team will be happy to help you!

Ben Sutter - YSI Technical Applications and Support Specialist, has been utilising pH measurements since his time as an undergraduate lab tech at Sinclair Community College; he then earned his bachelor’s degree in Chemistry at Wright State. He has been supporting instrumentation that measures pH and ORP for 5 years as part of YSI’s Technical Support team. Ben had a hand in editing and localising YSI’s “The pH Handbook” and acts as tech support’s chemist. As demo coordinator, he has calibrated, replaced, maintained, and occasionally destroyed hundreds of pH and ORP probes. Ben loves to educate and has trained everyone from 4th graders to industry professionals about pH and other water quality parameters.
