 Dynamics of the Process pH Market

Market has been trending from analog to digital sensors

- 10 years ago there were no digital sensors
- Now the market is at least 40% digital
Customers see the value in digital sensors, and in some cases, demand this
technology
Competitors offer Smart pH products
- First was Endress+Hauser (E+H), now several others
Digital sensors are the cornerstone of the movement toward smart, connected
products

 Value of Smart Sensor Technology

Customer Problem: Largest source of measurement error in electrochemical

systems comes from an imperfect field system calibration
Not allowing readings to stabilize
Performing single point calibration when a two point calibration is called for
Calibrating with a sensor which is approaching end of life
Using calibration solutions whose temperatures are changing

Solution: Mitigate by performing a calibration under controlled conditions

Perform the sensor calibration in an instrument shop, not in the field
Smart Sensor stores its calibration parameters in an on-board memory chip
Smart Sensors calibration gets uploaded to the field transmitter upon connection
Result: Easier, faster and more reliable field calibration

9
Field Devices
 Other Benefits of Smart Technology

Digital signal from sensor less prone to RFI/EMI interference than conventional
analog signal

More efficient sensor management

Sensor an be connected directly to a PC, making the user experience easier and faster
A sensor that is trending toward end of life can be decommissioned in the instrument shop
before reinstalling it in the process
A sensor that is healthy does not have to be serviced unnecessarily

Less time is spent in the process area, so a safer solution

Easier reordering due to storage of model code in sensor memory

 New Status Parameter Sensor Calibration Time

New feature not previously available

Can be used as another predictive diagnostic to indicate coating or aging
Sensor calibration time is measured from the time the user presses enter on the
second calibration solution to the time the sensor reaches stability. Stability is a
user programmable parameter, and can be set over a wide range, depending on
how precise the user wishes the calibration to be.

34
Field Devices
 Our Value Proposition

Lower cost of ownership compared to other Smart pH sensors

1. Lower maintenance costs

- Unique Nafion ion barrier prevents reference junction fouling and reduces the need for
cleaning
- Enhanced Smart diagnostics reduce the amount of time required to assess sensor health
- Unique sensor mounting design provides faster insertion and removal from the process
- No glass sensor body and a flat, rugged electrode result in reduced breakage during
handling

Finally, a Smart pH sensor that is also robust

35
Field Devices
 Our Value Proposition

Lower cost of ownership compared to other Smart pH sensors

2. Longer service life

- Rugged PVDF sensor body is chemical and abrasion resistant, resulting in longer life
- No metallic wetted parts results in corrosion resistance and longer life in strong chemical
solutions
- Unique pH electrode formulations, both flat glass for abrasion resistance and domed glass
for high temperature service, provide long life, as proven in thousands of installations

Finally, a Smart pH sensor that is also robust

36
Field Devices
 Our Value Proposition
Eastmans equipment and maintenance costs were eight times lower than
with previous sensors, and efficiency of our scrubber operation
was optimized.

We found many vendors offered quality sensors, Foxboro was the only one
that could provide a robust design that could stand up to all the reagents and
solvents in our solutions.

Foxboro DolpHin sensors provide a service life up to five times longer than
previous pH sensors in a power generation facility in western Pennsylvania.
And they require less frequent calibration because of the sensors stability.

Steel mill in Canada reports 3 months life compared to competitive sensor

which lasted only 1 day.
