s::can is the world technology leader for submersible online spectrometer probes, water protection systems and event detection software. Since 2020, s::can is a part of Badger Meter Inc., a global provider of industry leading water solutions encompassing flow measurement, quality and other system parameters.

s::can products measure a wide range of parameters in numerous applications. From their very solid-state pH-probe to their highly innovative spectral probes, all their products are developed with the same philosophy in mind: s::can measuring instruments are intelligent, robust and require little or no maintenance. They can be seamlessly integrated with other s::can systems but are also compatible with third-party systems.

Intelligent: All s::can sensors are intelligent. They are digital and have the controller -the brain- built in. They check their health every second and can communicate with the operator.

Optical: If possible, we always use optical methods, since they are just better, more reliable, simpler and more accurate. If no optical method is suitable, we choose the next best alternative.

Online: s::can makes nothing for laboratories, nothing that consumes reagents, and nothing with moving parts, resulting in extremely low operating costs.

s::can’s proprietary algorithms analyze and decompose the spectral data to provide measurements for many important parameters including: nitrite, COD, BOD, TSS, dissolved H2 S and many more.

More than 10,000 s::can monitoring systems are in use worldwide for drinking, environmental, waste, municipal, mining, and industrial water applications.

spectro::lyser V3™

The spectro::lyser V3 is a fully submersible UV/Vis spectrophotometer that measures across the entire absorption spectrum from 190-750 nm and is used by many water suppliers worldwide to monitor water quality.

spectro::lyser V3 measures many significant water quality parameters in a single device, including TOC, DOC, chemical oxygen demand (COD), biological oxygen demand (BOD), UVT/UV254, turbidity, total suspended solids (TSS), nitrate (NO3), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), spectral fingerprint, spectral alarm and benzene, toluene and xylene (BTX). The parameter set of spectro::lyser V3 can be customized, meaning each parameter can be tailored to your unique needs. You only pay for the parameters you want to measure. Add new parameters any time.

• measuring principle: UV-Vis spectrometry over the total range (190-750 nm) 
• web server on board - IoT enabled, no user software is needed to configure the probe 
• communicates directly with your mobile device via WLAN 
• 8 GB onboard memory - capacity for logging data for many years 
• improved optical performance - revolutionary precision 
• fast measurement interval - every 10 seconds possible 
• extremely power efficient - sleep mode for low energy consumption 
• multi-parameter probe with 1 mm, 5 mm or 35 mm optical path length, ideal for waste water, surface water and drinking water 
• long term stable and maintenance free in operation 
• factory pre-calibrated, local multi-point calibration possible 
• automatic cleaning with compressed air or brush

Other versions of the spectro::lyser include:

• spectro::lyser® industrial ATEX - Developed especially for hazardous environments such as refineries and sewers.
• spectro::lyser® titanium pro - Ideal for highly corrosive industrial applications as well as for seawater installations.
• spectro::lyser® UV - Offers the customer the possibility to measure different UV wavelengths to determine specific contaminants.

i::scan

The i::scan is a revolutionary miniature spectrometer combining innovative LED technology with state of the art optical measurement. The result is a sensor that is so cost efficient that it will revolutionize water quality monitoring. It can be mounted in-pipe under pressure, so it can be used in a wide range of applications including process optimization, highly resolved ‘Smart Water Grids’, coagulant control, small water treatment plants, etc.

moni::tool

moni::tool is a revolutionary new platform for the management of measuring stations, online probes and analyzers. Whether it is installed in a large monitoring network or as a stand-alone station, moni::tool’s intuitive software and state of the art features are an essential backbone for sensor and station management.

moni::tool looks at the whole system: hardware, software and operator. Only this all enveloping approach can guarantee that operational control and / or event detection work reliably.​

The s::can software package for water quality monitoring is split into three modules:

moni::tool™ - Sensor and Station Management

• Provides management of probes and stations. It documents critical manipulations, from user login to maintenance and logbook keeping. It also has intuitive visualization tools to display all information in a clear and easy to understand format.
  

vali:.tool - Data Validation

• Automatically detects, marks and (optionally) corrects untrustworthy data. It ensures only high quality data are fed into the event detection module. It also provides the user with indications on sensor maintenance requirements, as well as automatic detection of malfunctions.

ana::tool - Event Detection

• With ana::tool your existing simple water quality monitoring station morphs into a fail-safe EDS-system!
