About the Project

This is an industrial collaboration project with Process instruments to explore bioscience and biotechnology.

The project will develop an optical sensor for continuous monitoring of chlorine and pH in water treatments. Current electrochemical and colorimetric sensors used for monitoring chlorine requires regular maintenance because electrolytes or reagents need to be replaced. This project will overcome these limitations by developing an optical sensor.
