QED MicroPurge® basicsTM MP20 Flow Cell

Simple, economical purge monitoring with automatic stabilization alert.

Water Quality Measuring with Integral Flow Cell and Automated Purge ScanTM Technology -- Purge Scan tells you when the water quality parameters have stabilised.

Monitor up to 5 parameters (pH, ORP, DO, Conductivity/Salinity, Temperature) while purging or sampling a well with the MP20 Flow cell system. New Purge Scan technology allows you to sample with confidence thanks to visible & audible stabilisation alerts.
The MP20 meter is designed expressly to simplify calibration and operation in the field, by eliminating non-essential features. It displays all readings automatically and is lightweight and water-proof.

The sonde is a compact, low-profile design with rugged, easy-to-service probes. The flow cell is designed to collect and vent gas bubbles effectively, and to distribute purge flow evenly for quick measurement response and more accurate readings. The enclosure is of the Sealed Type, meaning that the sample does not come into contact with air. The whole package is protected by a 3-year warranty, backed by service and support from QED, the leader in low-flow sampling.

Until now, deciding when stabilization had been achieved was complex, requiring you to monitor multiple parameters and make repeated calculations. The new MP20 Flow Cell simplifies this part of the process. Microprocessor-based PurgeScanTM technology performs the monitoring and calculation, clearly signaling when stabilization has occurred. This allows sampling to begin only when the pump discharges samples representative of the formation water.
 
Quick, precise measurements make low-flow sampling easy. The MP20 assures the user of collecting the most accurate samples, and save time and money on a groundwater sampling program. It also stores key data automatically, along with elapsed time of purging.

Parameter Stabilization range criteria



pH - +/- .2 units
DO - +/- 0.2 mg/l
Conductivity- +/- 0.020 m S/cm
ORP- +/- 20 millivolts
Stabilization basis




3 consecutive readings of selected parameters (one or more of above 4) within above limits, at time interval selected, from 1 to 9 minutes. For example, if 2 minutes is selected, then stabilization would be signaled when 3 consecutive 2-minute intervals showed in-range readings at the end of each interval, requiring 6 minutes.
Elapsed time since Purge Scan initiated shows at the bottom of the screen.
Full data sets are stored at time 0, every 5 minutes, and the 3 consecutive readings which satisfy the stabilization criteria.
