Model : Lovibond® SD315 Oxi

Measures dissolved oxygen and saturation in water samples.

The Lovibond® SD315 Oxi is a portable optical dissolved oxygen meter designed for precise DO, oxygen saturation, and temperature measurements. Featuring robust, maintenance-free optical sensor technology, it delivers reliable field and laboratory data for water quality, wastewater, and environmental monitoring.

Overview

Our center is equipped with a Lovibond® SD315 Oxi Dissolved Oxygen Meter, a portable optical system offering fast and accurate DO measurement without membrane or electrolyte maintenance. The optical sensor provides stable readings even in challenging field conditions.

The instrument is essential for assessing water body health, monitoring biological treatment processes, and characterizing oxygen levels in leachate, surface water, and wastewater, supporting environmental protection and circular economy objectives.

What It Measures

The meter uses optical fluorescence technology to measure dissolved oxygen content and saturation, with automatic temperature and pressure compensation ensuring high accuracy.

  • Dissolved Oxygen (mg/L) Concentration of oxygen available for aquatic life and biological processes.
  • Oxygen Saturation (%) Percentage of maximum oxygen that water can hold at a given temperature.
  • Temperature Sample temperature measurement for automatic DO compensation.

Key Applications

The dissolved oxygen meter provides immediate data to support water quality assessment, treatment process control, and environmental compliance.

  • Water Quality Monitoring Assesses DO levels in rivers, lakes, and groundwater for ecosystem health.
  • Wastewater Treatment Monitors aeration efficiency and biological process optimization.
  • Leachate Analysis Determines oxygen depletion potential in landfill leachate.

All devices are operated within standardized laboratory workflows to ensure accuracy, traceability, and compliance with analytical standards.
