Water Quality Monitoring
We offer systems for unattended, long-term monitoring of water quality that provide unmatched versatility and reliability. Our systems measure water quality in many natural and industrial environments including streams, watersheds, wells, caves, water/wastewater treatment plants, aquaculture operations, landfills, and processing plants. Key components of our systems include dataloggers, sensors, and communications peripherals, which are customized for each application.
Water Quality Sensors
There are a variety of sensors that can measure water quality parameters, including turbidity, conductivity, pH, dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll, and more. We work with many companies to integrate their water quality measuring systems into a customized remote data monitoring station that meets your requirements. Please contact us to discuss your application.
IEI can customize a system to meet your needs.

Configurable wireless Bluetooth loggers for measuring water temperature, level, and conductivity/salinity.
Dataloggers used in Water Quality Monitoring
Our dataloggers feature wide operating temperature ranges, low power consumption, and the ability to directly interface with a large variety of sensors and because they operate on rechargeable batteries (with solar panels), they are ideal for long-term, stand-alone operation, such as at remote streams or wells. Most of our dataloggers are expandable using multiplexers and other peripherals. Data are typically displayed and stored in the desired units of measure (e.g., specific conductance as mS/m, µS/cm, Ohms).
Powerful on-board instruction sets allow unattended control decisions based on time or conditional events. For example, if measured water quality levels are outside a predetermined range, the datalogger can sound alarms, open valves, actuate injectors, or make a phone call to report conditions. All data is time-stamped.
Communications
The availability of multiple telecommunications and on-site options for retrieving data also allows systems to be customized to meet exact needs. Options include: voice-synthesized phone, telephone, cellphone, satellite, radio, ethernet, short haul, meteor burst, coaxial cable, and storage module. Systems can be programmed to send alarms or report site conditions by calling out to computers, phones, radios, or pagers. Real-time or historical data can be displayed or processed with Campbell Scientific software. Data can also be exported as ASCII files for further processing by spreadsheets, databases, or analysis programs.
