Drivers -Chlorine Sensors Market

• Stringent Government Regulations

Stringent laws for the control of water safety in order to uphold the established safety level are the key factors for the demand for chlorine sensors. For commercial application, chlorine sensors track the percentage of chlorine for gas analyzers, petroleum and hydrocarbon extracts in the oil and gas industry. Since the last decade, the developing countries are going through a phase of development in which industrialization has been an integral part. This risk-based strategy has been advocated by the World Health Organization (WHO) by guidelines for Drinking Water Protection Plans (DWPP) recognized internationally as offering comprehensive mechanism for the application and maintenance of water resource systems. It includes determining how individual threats should be handled when discussing the whole cycle of water delivery from source to tap. This set to drive the market growth.

• Disinfecting water required for various purposes to ensure public health and technological advancements

Chlorine sensors are commonly used in various processes to track or quantify chlorine concentration and thereby maximize chlorine use, lowering running costs with uncompromised production. Using advanced technology, wirelessly linked chlorine sensors are designed to allow unwired data transmission to the centralized network that directly facilitates online tracking. Production of optical chlorine-based fiber sensors offering lesser sensitivity to electromagnetic interference, miniaturization of the detector, reusability of the test, compact scale, and light weight, low cost will drive the market.

Challenges - Chlorine Sensors Market

• Maintenance is the major challenge

Most of the chlorine sensors require frequent calibration, maintenance and require constant flow, pressure and pH to maintain their calibrations. Amperometric based technology chlorine sensors usually require elaborate pressure and flow control. In aNAition, recalibration of the membrane sensor is necessary if stretching or pressure spikes occur in the system. Membrane sensors also require frequent calibration, in some cases weekly or even daily due to changing conditions. They are also subject to the loss of electrolyte as it diffuses through the membrane. Membranes must also be frequently replaced, often quarterly. However, development of sensors with advanced technologies create opportunities for the market growth.
