  • Patent number: 5423963
    Abstract: A level of a chemical in a fluid is accurately measured by an analyzer having an electrode assembly separated from the fluid by a membrane. The electrode assembly is energized to provide a steady state signal and a pulsed signal, both of which indicate the level of chemical in the fluid, but with only the pulsed signal being substantially unaffected by fouling of the membrane. The pulsed signal and the steady state signal are used to determine a predicted value that the steady state signal will have in the absence of fouling. The predicted value is then used to correct the steady state current to compensate for fouling of the membrane.
