In the field of environmental monitoring and water quality analysis, ammonia nitrogen analyzers play an indispensable role. This instrument is specially used to measure the ammonia nitrogen content in water samples. Its role and influence are far-reaching, involving environmental protection, aquaculture, industrial and agricultural production and many other aspects.


Ammonia nitrogen refers to nitrogen that exists in water in the form of ammonia (NH3) and ammonium (NH4+). In nature, ammonia nitrogen is one of the products of protein metabolism in organisms and an important component of the nitrogen cycle in water. However, excessive ammonia nitrogen concentration will not only damage aquatic ecosystems, but may also affect the safety of human drinking water and the quality of agricultural water. Therefore, accurate and rapid determination of ammonia nitrogen content in water samples is crucial for environmental monitoring and management.


The working principle of ammonia nitrogen analyzer is usually based on colorimetry or electrode method. The colorimetry method determines the concentration of ammonia nitrogen by detecting the color depth of the colored compound generated by the reaction of ammonia nitrogen in the sample with specific chemical reagents. The electrode method uses a dedicated ammonia sensitive electrode to directly measure the concentration of ammonia in the sample, and then calculate the content of ammonia nitrogen. These methods can provide key data for environmental monitoring in an accurate and reliable manner.The water quality ammonia nitrogen analyzer produced by Erun Environmental Protection can be used by both methods. It is simple to operate and can quickly and accurately read the ammonia nitrogen content value. The colorimetric method is combined with a special ammonia nitrogen detection reagent. The reagent does not need to be configured and can be directly used for the color development reaction before colorimetry.

In the field of environmental monitoring, the application of ammonia nitrogen analyzers is particularly important. Environmental protection departments use these devices to regularly test the ammonia nitrogen content in rivers, lakes, reservoirs and other water bodies in order to grasp the water quality in a timely manner and take corresponding measures. High concentrations of ammonia nitrogen can lead to eutrophication of water bodies, cause ecological problems such as algae outbreaks, and affect the ecological balance and biodiversity of water bodies. Through ammonia nitrogen analysis, the occurrence of such environmental problems can be effectively prevented and reduced.


In the aquaculture industry, ammonia nitrogen analyzers also play an important role. Ammonia nitrogen is produced during the metabolism of fish and other aquatic organisms. When the ammonia nitrogen content in the water exceeds a certain threshold, it will have a toxic effect on farmed animals and even cause large-scale deaths. By regularly using ammonia nitrogen analyzers to monitor water quality, farmers can adjust their farming strategies in a timely manner to ensure water quality safety, thereby ensuring farming benefits.


In industrial and agricultural production, the application of ammonia nitrogen analyzers cannot be ignored. Wastewater discharged by industrial enterprises often contains ammonia nitrogen. If it is discharged directly without treatment, it will pollute the surrounding water bodies. Through ammonia nitrogen analysis, enterprises can be supervised to fulfill their environmental protection responsibilities and ensure that wastewater is treated to meet standards before being discharged.In the agricultural field, the rational use of nitrogen fertilizer is crucial to ensure food production and quality. Ammonia nitrogen analyzers can help farmers accurately understand the ammonia nitrogen level in the soil, guide rational fertilization, and avoid environmental pollution and resource waste caused by excessive application of nitrogen fertilizers.


The application of ammonia nitrogen analyzers in scientific research cannot be ignored. Through long-term monitoring of ammonia nitrogen content in different ecosystems, scientists can study the laws of nitrogen cycles, explore the response mechanism of ecosystems to environmental changes, and provide a scientific basis for ecological protection and restoration.
