“…However, most of the flow-based analysers proposed in the literature are dedicated systems focusing on the determination of one or two parameters in water samples [5–8], mainly for oceanographic research. Less frequent are those presenting the development of a multiparametric analyser [9]. Recently, the concept of a computer supported system of networked automated water analysers has been introduced, the European AWACSS system [10, 11] being an example of a continent-wide network of analysers.…”

An automated multiparametric water analyser was developed and evaluated. The system was based on Sequential Injection Analysis and featured a photometric detection system comprising a tricolour RGB LED source and a photodiode. A program compiled in Visual Basic was used to control the SIA flow system, the LEDs, and the data acquisition and processing. The program loads and executes methods written in ASCII and stored as text files. The system was capable of handling up to four methods simultaneously. When used to carry out methods based on the APHA standard methods, the figures of merit obtained were considered satisfactory for the purpose. The total cost was under US $4600. It was concluded that the analyser is appropriate for routine use and has potential for an increased number of simultaneous methods and for enhanced capabilities if new versions of the software are developed.
