ROMIL PrimAg-OM^™ Calibrants and OpR^™ Reagents
for OnLine Analysis

The systematic application of continuous on-line chemical measurement techniques has many benefits in the key areas of Environmental and Process Control. The use of continuous measurement means that the potential polluter can readily demonstrate his compliance to agreed discharge consent levels. Likewise, continuous chemical processes which incorporate on-line chemical measurement within the process control loop has the potential to reduce waste and enhance process yield. It follows that for on-line monitors to be truly effective, accurate and reliable results are paramount. Regretfully, many such systems operate below their true potential as a result of using poor quality reagents and calibrants.

Pollution & Process Monitoring recommend ROMIL calibrants and reagents

Of great importance is the need for these systems to produce ACCURATE results. This means that the calibration must take into consideration short term variations in performance, due to electrical, mechanical and chemical changes. Chemical variances can be controlled through the reagent manufacturer having analytical and manufacturing procedures in place, which quantify variances and enable these to be maintained within the operational characteristics of the monitor. Key to the calibration is the use of ACCURATE and TRACEABLE calibrants.

Total instrument reliability is key to the provision of real-time measurements which can be critically applied either in a Court of Law or a process feedback loop. If the instrument crucially fails, this may have disastrous consequences, resulting in the possibility of plant down time or exceeding discharge consent levels, leading to the increased plant maintenance costs or hefty fines, neither of which are desirable.

ROMIL believes that the quality of the calibrants and their supporting reagents is paramount in achieving the ideals of ACCURATE, RELIABLE, and CONTINUOUS results. To this end, ROMIL PrimAg-OM^™ calibrants have been designed by ROMIL to produce ACCURATE, TRACEABLE results, and used together with the supporting Optimised-Performance Reagents (ROMIL-OpR^™) enables the monitor to perform CONTINOUSLY at peak performance.

The ROMIL PrimAg-OM^™ calibrants are unique in that they are made traceable to the SI Units, The MOLE and KILOGRAM, which are part of the internationally recognised SI system. Traceability to these standards is realised via the ROMIL-PrimAg^® scheme of traceability which uses high purity silver as a primary reference material.

'The use of poor quality calibrants and reagents will always produce poor quality results, whilst high quality calibrants and reagents will result in exceptional results. ROMIL PrimAg-OM^™ Calibrants and ROMIL-OpR^™ Reagents are of exceptional quality and produce superlative results everytime.'

ROMIL manufactures the widest range of traceable calibrants, reagents and buffers available in the UK, and can provide these to support a broad range of continuous and on-line environmental monitors.
