TGP (Total Gas Pressure) sensor

The TGP (Total Gas Pressure) sensor is an essential device for measuring the total pressure of dissolved gases in water, including oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen. In aquaculture, maintaining an optimal balance of dissolved gases is crucial for fish health and well-being, as well as for the proper functioning of aquaculture systems, especially Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS).

Main functions:

• Accurate measurement of total dissolved gas pressure (O₂, CO₂, N₂) to maintain optimal levels in ponds or aquaculture systems.

• Continuous real-time monitoring of gas balance in the water.

• Early detection of dissolved gas anomalies (e.g., CO₂ overpressure) that can cause stress or mortality in fish.

• Compatibility with RAS systems and other closed aquaculture environments.

Why monitor gas pressure?

• Gas overpressure: excess oxygen or carbon dioxide can lead to physiological issues in fish, reducing growth or causing respiratory problems.

• Managing TGP is essential in recirculation systems or controlled environments to avoid gas-water imbalances that can affect water quality.

Measurement range:

• From 0 to 10 bar, with high accuracy and fast response to environmental condition changes.

🛠️ Available sensor types:

• Electrochemical sensors: high accuracy, require regular maintenance.

• Optical sensors: low maintenance needs, ideal for continuous monitoring.
