Bromine measurement with DULCOTEST® sensors: Safe metering in disinfection processes with bromine. The robustness of the sensors makes them suitable for wide range of water qualities.
Reliable online measurement of bromine – with DULCOTEST® sensors
Bromine compounds are an increasingly popular alternative to chlorine compounds in water disinfection in spite of the higher costs of the reagents.
Bromine has a number of advantages over chlorine compounds when it comes to disinfection:
- Greater disinfectant effect at higher pH values
- Lower volatility at higher temperatures
- Less tendency to corrosion
- Bromine compounds that have finished reacting (combined bromine) produce less odour and irritation of the mucous membranes
Our product line of DULCOTEST® bromine sensors provides three types of sensor for your measurement tasks.
Sensor types CBR1-mA and BCR 1-mA are resistant to contaminated water and are designed for the treatment of cooling water. Type CBR1 is specifically designed for free bromine from inorganic bromination processes, e.g. sodium bromide + sodium-calcium hypochlorite, or the use of BrCl.
Sensor type BCR-mA is optimised for the measurement of organic bromination agents (e.g. BCDMH).
Sensor type BRE3-CAN is available for the treatment of swimming pool water with BCDMH
Your benefits
- Precise, real-time amperometric measurement for efficient process control (short response time)
- Suitable for wide range of water qualities (contamination, pH, salinity, temperature)
- Amperometric measuring means no clouding or discolouration
- Stable zero point means no drift
- Integrated temperature compensation eliminates faults caused by influence of temperature
- Diaphragm-covered electrodes for reduced dependence on flow, substances in water and film-forming media
Field of application
- Water disinfection in cooling towers
- Water disinfection in swimming pools and hot tubs
- Disinfection of seawater
Technical Details
Measurement of all bromine reagents used for disinfection possible:
- Inorganic free bromine, e.g. using the ACTI bromine process: HOBr, or inorganically combined bromine (proprietary names include Stabrex®)
- DBDMH (1.3-dibromo-5.5-dimethylhydantoin), proprietary names include Albrom 100®

Sensor for Total Available Bromine BCR 1-mA (Replaces Earlier Type BRE 1)
Sensor for the disinfectant BCDMH and other oxidative-acting bromine-organic disinfectants and total chlorine even in contaminated water and/or for high pH values of up to 9.5. For use on controllers with mA input
Your benefits
- Measured variable: total available bromine from BCDMH (1-bromo-3-chloro-5,5-dimethylhydantoin)
- Diaphragm-covered sensor minimises faults caused by changing flow or ingredients in the water, N-bromamide sulfonate
- Resistance to blocking is achieved by the use of an electrolyte with an antimicrobial effect (less blocking by biofilms) and by a large-pored diaphragm (less blocking by solid particles/dirt)
- Use with high pH values by optimisation of the electrolyte diaphragm system
