  2. PolySens Sensors for Water Quality Monitoring

  3. Objective of Overall Project • Developing affordable, portable sensor system for water quality monitoring. • Developing affordable, portable sensor system for water quality monitoring. • A sensor is a substance or device which is sensitive to the change in it’s environment.

  4. Analyte Transducer Electronics Which is to be analyzed (Sample) Converts Chemical signal in to Electrical Signal Process the Electrical signal and display result A typical sensor

  5. Bipotentiostat RE CE Au Au Substrate WE1 WE2 Analyte Measurement Technique • Conductometry • A conductometric sensor detects changes in conductance between two electrodes  • Basic Principle - Ohms Law

  6. Analyte Measurement Technique • Potentiometry   • A potentiometric sensor detects the change in the equilibrium potential of the electrode • Basic Principle- Nernst Equation

  7. Hybrid System • So, which technique is better………..? • Conductometry – if limit of interest is low (ppb) • Potentiometry – if limit of interest is relatively high (ppm) • Final instrument will be hybrid of the two.

  8. Sensor Development Start Analyte Literature Review Technique Conductometry Potentiometry Strategy wrt receptor Sensor fabrication etc. Sensor Response Not OK OK Optimization Performance Evaluation Not OK OK Deployment • Strategy • Polymer • Receptor • Immobilization • Sensor fabrication • Performance • Repeatability • Reproducibility • Sensitivity • Minimum Detection Limit • Interference • Stability • Shelf life

  9. Features of our instrument

  10. Features of our instrument

  11. Economics • Capital cost (instrument’s cost) is going to be in thousands instead of lakhs - For different parameters prevalent technology requires different instruments each costing lakhs of rupees. • Negligible cost of consumables - Unlike prevalent sophisticated instruments used for analysis at National/International bodies, The materials used are primarily cheap & replaceable polymers. • Significant decrease in cost per analysis.

  12. Summary of First Phase

  14. Summary of First Phase Tailored Electrodes for Conductometry

  15. Bi-potentiostat Vg Vd Drain Source Id Conductingpolymertubule Counter Reference Summary of First Phase In-situ Conductance Measurment

  16. 2.5 cm 21 cm 7.5’’ x 5’’ 3’ x 1’ Summary of First Phase Tailored Electrodes for Conductometry

  17. Summary of First Phase Tailored Electrodes for Potentiometry

  18. Summary of First Phase Tailored Electrodes for Potentiometry

  19. Summary of First Phase Our Potentiometric Sensor Setup

  20. Polymer Saturated with KCl AgCl Silver Paste (Screen printing) Transparency sheet Gold deposited by VD Polyaniline Summary of First Phase Entire Cartridge

  21. Summary of First Phase Demos and Deployments • Currently instrument is deployed in the lab. • Demos at exhibitions. • ELITEX-2004 & 2005, New Delhi • Kisan, Pune • Next step: On site field testing

  22. Proposal for Second Phase

  23. Proposal for Second Phase At Later Stage

  24. Plans Ahead • Plans for 2005 • Adding more parameters. • Market research. • Packaging. • Mass production. • Product Positioning. • Partnership:- In all the above areas (but not identified yet).

  25. Plans Ahead • Some interested parties • NGOs • Byrraju Foundation, Hyderabad • 4-5 others for buying the instrument • Some 20 companies interacted at trade fares for partnerships. • CFTRI • TCS

  26. What Next after Sensing • The purification/treatment procedures for most of the pollutants are known; will be supplied with the instrument. • If not satisfied; the problem can be posted on our website and we will give the solution after consulting experts.

  27. Any thing else……? • Complementary to purification technologies. • Many times source is less or not contaminated at all. Also it may get contaminated only periodically; on-line analysis may save unnecessary expense on purification/treatment when water is already usable.

  28. Current Team • Prof. A. Q. Contractor • Prof. R. Lal • Prof. S. Mukherjee • Mr. L. S. Mombasawala • Dr. Divesh N. Srivastava • Mr. C. Muthukumar • Mr. S. Phatak • Mr. S. Dhiman • Ms. S. Roy • Mr. S. Bisoi • Mr. K. Pitle • Mr. D. Tare • Mr. A. Adhiwarekar • Mr. Avinash Kadam • Mr. Javed Khan

  29. Thanks
