Abstract

An electrochemical sensor for remote detection, particularly useful for metal contaminants and organic or other compounds. The sensor circumvents technical difficulties that previously prevented in-situ remote operations. The microelectrode, connected to a long communications cable, allows convenient measurements of the element or compound at timed and frequent intervals and instrument/sample distances of ten feet to more than 100 feet. The sensor is useful for both downhole groundwater monitoring and in-situ water (e.g., shipboard seawater) analysis.

Remote electrochemical sensor for trace metal contaminants

Journal Article Wang, J ; Larson, D ; Foster, N ; ... - Analytical Chemistry (Washington)

An electrochemical sensor technology, based on stripping potentiometry at a 100-{mu}m gold fiber electrode, has been developed for remote detection of trace metal contaminants. The new probe circumvents technical difficulties, including the need for mercury surfaces, removal of oxygen, or forced convection, that previously prevented the adaptation of stripping analysis to in situ remote operations. The gold microelectrode, connected to a long communication cable, allows convenient measurements of trace copper, mercury, lead, or selenium at 3-4-min intervals and instrument/sample distances up to 32 m. The remarkable sensitivity of the probe is coupled with multielement capability, high stability, and simplicity. Fieldmore »« less

Remote electrode for monitoring metal contaminants

Conference Wang, J ; Foster, N ; Lu, J ; ...

An electrochemical sensor technology, based on potentiometric stripping analysis at a gold microelectrode, has been developed for remote detection of trace metal contaminants. The new device circumvents technical difficulties, including the need for mercury surfaces, removal of oxygen, or forced convection, that previously prevented the adaptation of stripping analysis to in-situ remote operations. The gold fiber microelectrode, connected to a long communication cable, allows convenient quantitation of trace copper, mercury, lead or selenium, at 1--3 min intervals and large ({approximately} 100 ft) instrumental/sample distances. The remarkable sensitivity of the probe is coupled with multielement capability, high stability and simplicity. Fieldmore »« less
Remote Power Systems for Sensors on the Northern Border

Conference Simpson, Lin J ; Kandt, Alicen J

The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) is working with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) [1] to field sensors that accurately track different types of transportation across the northern border of the U.S.. To do this, the sensors require remote power so that they can be placed in the most advantageous geographical locations, often where no grid power is available. This enables the sensors to detect and track aircraft/vehicles despite natural features (e.g., mountains, ridges, valleys, trees) that often prevent standard methods (e.g., monostatic radar or visual observers) from detecting them. Without grid power, portable power systems were used tomore »« less

LONG-TERM MONITORING SENSOR NETWORK

Technical Report Farrington, Stephen P ; Haas, John W ; Wyck, Neal Van

Long-term monitoring (LTM) associated with subsurface contamination sites is a key element of Long Term Stewardship and Legacy Management across the Department of Energy (DOE) complex. However, both within the DOE and elsewhere, LTM is an expensive endeavor, often exceeding the costs of the remediation phase of a clean-up project. The primary contributors to LTM costs are associated with labor. Sample collection, storage, preparation, analysis, and reporting can add a significant financial burden to project expense when extended over many years. Development of unattended, in situ monitoring networks capable of providing quantitative data satisfactory to regulatory concerns has the potentialmore »« less
