Application Case Study: ACITEK LDO Model 1 (AC9020000-SW) Luminescent Dissolved Oxygen Sensor
ACITEK LDO Model 1 is an optical luminescent dissolved oxygen probe optimized for seawater, municipal wastewater secondary treatment, nutrient monitoring and effluent discharge supervision. Different from traditional polarographic DO sensors, this LDO probe adopts luminescent oxygen quenching technology, featuring factory pre-calibration, no membrane replacement, no electrolyte refilling, zero measurement drift and strong anti-interference against sulfide, chloride and heavy metal ions. With compact Noryl & stainless steel structure, 0–20 mg/L measuring range and 3.5 bar pressure resistance, it delivers long-term stable online monitoring with minimal maintenance cost.
This project is a collaboration from Taiwan. The biggest challenge of this project lies in the large number and long distance of monitoring points. There are a total of 45 monitoring points, and each point needs to measure three parameters (pH, dissolved oxygen and temperature). Transmitting the data to the central control room using the traditional 4-20mA would waste a lot of signal lines and be unstable.In this case, I proposed to change the original 4-20mA output of the instrument to RS485. In this way, the 45 monitoring points can be connected in series and finally transmitted to the central control room through one data bus. This not only reduces the number of signal lines but also brings convenience to the on-site installation and commissioning.

The importance of water quality monitoring industry in today's society
In today's society, water is a basic substance for human life and economic development, and its importance is self-evident. From daily drinking to industrial production and agricultural irrigation, the quality of water is directly related to people's health and sustainable development of the industry. The water quality monitoring industry has also shouldered a heavy responsibility and become a key line of defense to protect the safety of water resources. ​

Problems and solutions encountered in water quality monitoring
At a time when the world is paying more and more attention to environmental protection, the importance of water quality monitoring is self-evident. However, its development has encountered many bottlenecks. On the one hand, the uneven distribution of monitoring points and the insufficient number of monitoring points cannot fully and accurately reflect the water quality of the water area. Taking a large lake as an example, only a few monitoring points are set up sporadically around it, and the center of the lake and other areas have been in the monitoring blind spot for a long time. Once the water quality is abnormal, it is difficult to detect it in time. On the other hand, the aging of monitoring equipment and lagging technology have resulted in poor detection capabilities for trace pollutants and emerging pollutants. For example, some old sensors have extremely low detection sensitivity for some new pesticide residues, which cannot meet the increasingly stringent monitoring needs. At the same time, the massive monitoring data lacks unified standards and effective sharing mechanisms, forming "data islands" with low utilization rates. ​
