DS Smith

Memosens digital analytical sensors save time, improve accuracy and lower costs for leading packaging company.

To protect the environment and ensure compliance with regulations, DS Smith’s Kemsley Mill in Kent must closely monitor the wastewater it discharges into the Swale estuary. In the past, maintaining the analytical instruments delivering crucial pH and dissolved oxygen measurements had been a time-consuming and laborious process.

DS Smith replaced all of its pH sensors used in the effluent treatment process with Memosens sensors, which can be pre-calibrated in the lab or workshop and simply replaced in the field, cutting the time spent at difficult-to-access measuring points.

The accuracy of the measurement has improved and the process is now much more efficient. “It takes me a few minutes to change the probes on site and the job is done. It saves an awful lot of time, it really does,” says DS Smith’s Ian Castle.

What our customer said

“With the other manufacturer’s pH probes it took perhaps an hour to clean and calibrate them. Now I can do this in the lab, in a nice clean location, using the Memobase Plus software. It takes a few minutes to change the probes on site and the job is done. It saves an awful lot of time, it really does.”
