Providing accurate and repeatable pH measurements in the most demanding process applications can be frustrating, but it does not have to be. Yokogawa’s innovative SENCOM 4.0 smart sensor platform optimizes maintenance, reduces configuration time, and simplifies in-field maintenance and calibration. Digital or SMART sensors maintain specific measurement and calibration data on an integrated chip along that is an integral part of the sensor. This data can be exchanged between the sensor and either a process transmitter or a laboratory PC using a data management software, like the SPS24. |

Measurement, Control, and Information in One Digital SMART Sensor System
The SENCOM SMART Sensor Platform is an innovative analyzer platform that optimizes maintenance, reduces configuration time, and simplifies in-field maintenance and calibration.
SENCOM SMART digital sensor platforms combine:
- SENCOM™ technology, which allows sensors to transmit and receive data when connected to a transmitter/analyzer or any PC
- Analyzer, which captures and stores calibration data
- SMART digital sensors to maintain specific measurement and calibration data on an integrated chip along that is an integral part of the sensor
- Data management software to optimize the performance of pH/ORP sensors for enhanced reliability and process safety
SENCOM SMART by the Numbers
Deliver Enhanced Value throughout the Product Lifecycle
"I want to connect a different sensor type, is that possible?"
Simplified Selection
One analyzer that can measure pH/ORP, Conductivity and dissolved oxygen allows for a reduction in CAPEX & OPEX.
"How do I set up my new instrument, and how long is it going to take?"
Expert Guide
As experienced operators retire, many facilities worry about the possibility of losing operations expertise and being unable to successfully transfer skills to new operations staff. An easy-to-use wizard offers clear guidance for the setup and configuration. The intuitive menu structure along with user-friendly alarm settings and clear information on troubleshooting enhance online process control measurements.
"How do I know when to do maintenance or calibration?"
Process Guard
SENCOM™ features real-time diagnostics and sensor wellness for early detection of sensor failure and replacement proactive maintenance.
"Is my instrument still working efficiently and providing accurate measurements?"
Maintenance Manager
There is no need to worry about unplanned outages and lost production time with the maintenance manager function. The SENCOM™ platform utilizes the integrated "hot swap" and "plug and play" function to significantly decrease downtime, while the sensor wellness function predicts the next maintenance and sensor replacement.
"Do I need to buy a new instrument to expand its functionality?"
Advanced Flexibility
Changing technologies does not have to result in negative consequences putting throughput, quality, and/or compliance at risk. With the SENCOM™ platform upgrading to the next generation of SMART product is easy, and an upgrade transfer can be done at any time with little impact on operations. The SENCOM™ Platform connects to traditional analog or digital SMART sensor instruments, allowing an easy upgrade to digital SMART sensors in the future. SENCOM™accelerates the time-to-value of the new technology and provides the connection flexibility, simplicity, and efficiency to seamlessly move data and workloads on an ongoing basis.

Resources
To defray energy costs, many industrial plants have their own boilers to generate steam to produce a portion of their energy needs. In addition to generating power, the steam may also be used directly in plant processes or indirectly via heat exchangers or steam jacketed vessels.
Having too much oxygen in the process is not a problem for the biological system; however the cost for generating the oxygen is one of the largest expenses. By obtaining a good representative average of the dissolved oxygen present in the basin could save the plant large amounts of money. For this reason multiple measurements points are sometimes put into place.
Removal of free oil and grease from a wastewater stream reduces the potential for equipment problems downstream. Three forms of oil are encountered in wastewater treatment at a refinery: Free Oil, Emulsified Oil, Dissolved Oil.
Maximize steel plant efficiency with comprehensive waste treatment solutions. From coal washer to blast furnace waste, optimize processes for quality.
Where and why are the pH Measurements important in a brewery? No one wants a skunky beer. pH measurements in the wort, during mashing/souring the malt, and in the yeast enzymes are critical.
Heat exchangers are devices that provide the flow of thermal energy between two or more fluids at different temperatures. Heat exchangers are used in a wide variety of applications. These include power production; process, chemical and food industries; electronics; environmental engineering; waste heat recovery; manufacturing industry; and air-conditioning, refrigeration, and space applications. Yokogawa offers a means to control heat exchanger leakage and prevent costly maintenance, repair and downtime with an easy-to-use, virtually maintenance-free condensate conductivity measurement method.
Fish are totally dependent upon water to breathe, feed, grow, maintain a salt balance, and reproduce. Water quality determines the success or failure of an aquaculture operation.
SENCOM
There are many points in the processing of edible fats and oils that benefit from the use of analytical measurements. Inductive conductivity, contacting conductivity, gas density, and pH can be utilized to increase the quality of the end product, as well as protecting expensive processes.
Optimizing four key factors will decrease pH sensor costs and optimize process control and overall plant efficiency.
Smart devices, like Yokogawa’s line of Total Insight transmitters and flowmeters contribute to Digital Transformation during operations and throughout the lifecycle of the instrument.
The accuracy of pH measurements depends upon maintenance; maintenance frequency largely depends upon the application. Understanding and addressing the causes of pH measurement difficulties comprise key to ensuring stable and accurate readings.
