Chemtrac LCA-5 Laboratory Charge Analyzer

The LCA5 is an essential coagulation optimization tool for the water treatment professional, allowing the user to quickly, and confidently, respond to rapidly changing raw water conditions.  In under 5 minutes, the coagulant dosage needed to achieve charge neutralization can be determined by either manually or automatically titrating a raw water sample with coagulant until a zero (0) charge reading is obtained. 

An optional pH measurement along with automatic titration allows the LCA5 to also determine the buffer (e.g., caustic, lime) dosage in applications where pH adjustment is required due to low alkalinity conditions.  The optional buffer titration feature is also utilized in certain applications where sample pH modification may be required in order to achieve reliable charge measurement results.  Another very important feature is the large sample size capacity (up to 2 L), and integrated stirrer which further enhance accuracy, especially when titrating with undiluted coagulants.  The LCA5 also includes graphical trending of the titration, data logging with the ability to export past titration results to a USB flash drive, and instructional videos which play directly on the 7” high resolution touchscreen display.  The LCA5 comes backed with over 35 years of charge analysis expertise and world class customer support.
