Which sensors are suitable for river and lake monitoring?

For river and lake monitoring, the most common sensor combination includes pH, dissolved oxygen, conductivity, turbidity and sometimes COD or ammonium nitrogen. Rivers often need turbidity and conductivity data to understand rainfall runoff, sediment movement and water source changes. Lakes and reservoirs may also require chlorophyll and blue-green algae sensors for algae risk warning. The sensor configuration should be based on whether the project focuses on pollution tracking, ecological status, drinking water source protection or early warning.

What sensors are recommended for aquaculture ponds?

Aquaculture ponds usually need dissolved oxygen, pH, ammonium nitrogen, conductivity and turbidity monitoring. Dissolved oxygen is one of the most important parameters because low DO can directly affect fish or shrimp survival. pH changes with photosynthesis, feeding and water exchange. Ammonium nitrogen helps identify nitrogen-related risk. Conductivity can indicate salinity or water exchange conditions, while turbidity reflects suspended solids and pond disturbance. Online sensors help farmers make better decisions about aeration, feeding and water replacement.

Which sensors are used for wastewater treatment plants?

Wastewater treatment plants commonly use pH, ORP, dissolved oxygen, conductivity, suspended solids, turbidity, COD and ammonium nitrogen sensors. Dissolved oxygen is important in aeration control. ORP can support oxidation-reduction process evaluation. Suspended solids and turbidity help monitor sludge and effluent condition. COD and ammonium nitrogen are key indicators for pollution load and treatment performance. The exact configuration depends on the process section, such as inlet, aeration tank, secondary sedimentation tank, discharge outlet or industrial wastewater pretreatment.

Can YexSensor sensors be used in seawater or high-salinity water?

Some YexSensor sensors can be used in seawater or high-salinity water, but the sensor model and material must be selected carefully. Conductivity, salinity, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, chlorophyll and blue-green algae sensors are commonly used in coastal water, marine aquaculture and seawater monitoring. For high-salinity or corrosive environments, probe material, cable protection and long-term fouling control should be considered. Please share the water salinity, installation depth and application scenario so YexSensor can recommend a suitable configuration.

What is the best solution for algae monitoring in reservoirs?

For algae monitoring in reservoirs, YexSensor usually recommends chlorophyll, blue-green algae, dissolved oxygen and turbidity sensors. Chlorophyll reflects general algae biomass, while blue-green algae sensors focus on cyanobacteria risk. Dissolved oxygen helps evaluate ecological stress, especially when algae bloom and decay affect oxygen levels. Turbidity supports water clarity and suspended matter observation. A floating buoy or fixed monitoring point can be selected according to the reservoir depth, maintenance access and communication requirements.
