- pH is a key parameter for monitoring the health of rivers and oceans. Today’s solutions are not fit for autonomous mass deployment, drifting with time so that routine recalibration costs up to 70% of capital cost of the sensors. The water pH market is expected to reach $500M by 2023 with companies wanting calibration-free sensors for deployment every kilometre across entire networks. In this research, a novel class of chemicals was established to monitor pH in water systems. It led directly to the set-up of ANB Sensors Ltd, who launched their calibration-free pH sensing technology in 2020 (Steve Gahlings: sgahlings@anbsensors.com).
