Product details
























Product Introduction
Industrial facilities that discharge process water face a recurring obligation: Chemical Oxygen Demand must stay within permitted limits, and compliance records must be available for inspection at any time. Sending samples to an off-site laboratory introduces a multi-day delay, during which process conditions may have already shifted, and corrective actions arrive too late to prevent a violation. Relying on separate single-function instruments — one for digestion, another for colorimetric reading, a third for field parameters — adds setup time, transport weight, and coordination overhead to every sampling round.
The HM-BC Pro consolidates these tasks into one portable unit. Its single-parameter spectrophotometric detection focuses on COD, using 16mm pre-made test tubes or cuvettes up to 50mm, with a 360° precision rotating holder that stabilizes optical readings. The built-in dual-zone 8-vial digester heats samples from room temperature to 200°C — reaching 165°C in 10 minutes under smart PID control at ±0.5°C — and runs alongside colorimetric detection on the same Android 7.1.1 platform. Operators can also insert up to four sensor probes simultaneously to record pH, ORP, dissolved oxygen (fluorescence method), residual chlorine (constant-voltage method), conductivity, salinity, turbidity, and dozens of other parameters without pausing the COD workflow.
With a 48V 8Ah lithium battery supporting over six hours of combined digestion and detection, GPS positioning on every data record, and WiFi, 4G, or RJ45 cloud upload, the HM-BC Pro fits into existing compliance documentation flows. The micro thermal printer issues QR-coded reports on-site, and 10 million data sets remain freely retrievable for audit lookbacks. Teams that later expand to dual-parameter work can migrate to the COD plus ammonia nitrogen model within the same product family, preserving training investment and reagent compatibility.

FAQ
The spectrophotometric module is dedicated to single-parameter COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) detection. Samples are digested in the built-in dual-zone 8-vial block — reaching 165°C within 10 minutes under PID control at ±0.5°C — then read through the colorimetric system using 16mm pre-made test tubes or cuvettes up to 50mm. For teams that also need ammonia nitrogen measured by spectrophotometry, the HM-B02 Pro in the same series adds that second parameter on an identical hardware platform.
Four sensor ports accept probes simultaneously while COD digestion and colorimetric detection proceed. Available sensors include pH, ORP, dissolved oxygen (fluorescence method), residual chlorine (constant-voltage method), conductivity, salinity, ozone, turbidity, hardness, suspended solids, sludge concentration, chlorophyll, blue-green algae, oil in water, and CDOM — dozens of parameters total. Readings are displayed as direct concentration values, with scheduled or manual storage and printing. This means an operator arriving at an industrial outfall can record COD together with supporting field indicators like pH and dissolved oxygen in one stop, rather than deploying a separate multi-probe meter.
Yes. The HM-BC Pro allows users to build their own calibration curves, including coefficient curves and sample curves, adapting COD detection to matrices that differ from standard conditions. Six preset digestion programs cover COD, total phosphorus, total nitrogen, permanganate index, sulfate, and formaldehyde, and four additional custom digestion modes can store plant-specific temperature and time settings. The pin-to-top function also lets operators place frequently tested items at the top of the project list, reducing selection time during repetitive sampling routines.
The internal 48V 8Ah lithium battery delivers over six hours of continuous operation with COD digestion and colorimetric detection running together, measured using COD testing as the reference workload. A typical industrial sampling round — traveling between discharge points, loading digestion vials, waiting for the 10-minute heat-up, running colorimetric reads, inserting sensor probes, printing reports, and uploading data — fits within one full charge. When mains power is available, the instrument runs directly on DC48V2A input without battery drain.
The analyzer stores up to 10 million data sets that can be freely retrieved for audit lookbacks. Each record includes GPS coordinates showing the sampling location. The micro thermal printer generates on-site hard copies with QR codes for sample-level traceability. Data uploads wirelessly via WiFi or 4G — or through RJ45 wired connection — to the cloud platform, where supervisors and auditors view results in real time on mobile or PC. This workflow eliminates manual transcription and provides the timestamped, geolocated records that regulatory inspections typically require.
The instrument belongs to the HM-B portable analyzer series, which shares the same hardware architecture and reagent system across models. Teams that start with COD-only spectrophotometric detection and later need ammonia nitrogen can transition to the HM-B02 Pro, or move further to the HM-B03 Pro for three-parameter analysis. Sensor probes, digestion consumables, and the data cloud platform remain compatible, so the investment in training and supplies carries forward.
