What Is a Hydrogen Peroxide Analyzer?

A hydrogen peroxide analyzer is an instrument that continuously measures the concentration of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) dissolved in water. The Bebur BT6308-Peroxi hydrogen peroxide analyzer uses a membrane sensor that requires no reagents or buffers — measurement is stable and performance reliable, reducing maintenance workload and lowering operating cost.

Hydrogen peroxide is a powerful oxidizing disinfectant. Its sterilization performance — and the safety of the final product — depends on holding the H₂O₂ concentration within a precise window: under-dosing compromises disinfection, while over-dosing leaves residual peroxide that must be removed downstream. Continuous online measurement keeps that window under control around the clock.

The analyzer supports drinking water, wastewater, industrial process water and purified water disinfection, as well as brine applications — from bottle washer dosing and CIP plants to food washing water bleaching and pharmaceutical production.

  1. Sample flows through the cell. The water sample passes the sensor in a flow cell at approximately 0.5 L/min, providing a stable, representative measurement stream.
  2. H₂O₂ diffuses through the membrane. Hydrogen peroxide diffuses from the sample through the sensor membrane into the electrolyte zone, which is separated from the water sample.
  3. A proportional signal is generated. At the working electrode, the hydrogen peroxide produces an electrical signal proportional to its concentration; the dual-electrode system automatically adjusts its potential to eliminate zero drift.
  4. The reading is compensated and output. The signal is amplified by the sensor electronics, and an integrated temperature sensor applies automatic temperature compensation before the value is displayed and transmitted.

The membrane design requires no additional reagents or buffers, and calibration is one-point (span) only — no zero calibration is ever needed. The measurement is unaffected by cleaning agents present in the water.

Automatic dosing control: the analyzer can close the loop on H₂O₂ dosing — automatically regulating flow rate, pump speed or valve position to hold the peroxide concentration at its preset value, lowering reagent cost and improving process control.

Key Features

Membrane Amperometric Sensing

Frequently Asked Questions About Hydrogen Peroxide Analyzers

What is a hydrogen peroxide analyzer?
A hydrogen peroxide analyzer is an instrument for the continuous online measurement of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) concentration in water. The Bebur BT6308-Peroxi uses a membrane amperometric sensor that works without reagents or buffers, supporting disinfection and sterilization control in drinking water, wastewater, industrial process water and purified water applications.
How does a hydrogen peroxide analyzer work?
The analyzer works on the membrane amperometric principle. The water sample flows through a flow cell at about 0.5 L/min; hydrogen peroxide diffuses through the sensor membrane and generates an electrical signal at the working electrode that is proportional to the H₂O₂ concentration. The dual-electrode system automatically adjusts its potential to eliminate zero drift, and an integrated temperature sensor compensates the reading automatically.
Does the hydrogen peroxide analyzer need reagents or zero calibration?
No. The membrane sensor works without chemical reagents or buffers and requires no zero calibration — only one-point span calibration. The measurement is also unaffected by cleaning agents present in the water, which reduces operating costs and routine maintenance.
What measuring ranges are available?
The BWWP10 sensor offers five selectable ranges: 0.5-200 mg/L, 5-2000 mg/L, 50-20000 mg/L, 500-50000 mg/L and 500-100000 mg/L, with resolution of 0.1, 1, 10 or 100 mg/L depending on the selected range. This covers everything from residual-level disinfection monitoring to high-concentration process control.
Can the analyzer control hydrogen peroxide dosing automatically?
Yes. The analyzer supports automatic dosing process control: it can automatically regulate flow rate, pump speed or valve position to hold the H₂O₂ concentration at its preset value. Automatic dosing lowers reagent consumption and improves the level of process control.
What maintenance does the hydrogen peroxide analyzer require?
Maintenance is minimal. The membrane cap should be replaced every 12-24 months and the electrolyte every 3-6 months, depending on water quality. First polarization takes about 5 hours. Known interferences are chlorine, peracetic acid, ozone, sulfides and phenolic substances above 3%. The standard supply includes the BT6308 controller, BWWP10 sensor, M10.1H+G or M10.1D+G membrane cap, FC01 electrolyte and an EWP7/W flow cell.
