This is of great importance in this regard. Therefore, potential problems in reservoirs 25 for the early detection of biological, chemical and physical pollution. Various monitoring systems are being developed. In current practices, water quality is mostly assessed by personnel at specific time intervals. Samples manually taken from the reservoir are analyzed in a laboratory environment. This is determined by the time elapsed between sampling and analysis in this method. sudden biological proliferation due to time, chemical contamination or pathogen 30 Changes in density cannot be detected in real time. Furthermore... Manual sampling processes require manpower and are prone to user-induced errors. This is the case and it does not provide the possibility of continuous monitoring. 2 Current automated water quality monitoring systems mostly measure pH, temperature, and dissolved levels. measuring physical or chemical parameters such as oxygen, conductivity, turbidity, and the like. These systems consist of sensors that provide information about the overall quality of the water. While it can provide information, it also aims to identify biological contamination in the early stages. It remains limited in terms of its comparative analysis capabilities. Especially biofilm 5 formation, initiation of organic contamination or microbiological proliferation are some of the processes involved Sensor data alone is often insufficient for reliable determination. It is not. In addition, a significant portion of existing systems rely on only a single reservoir. It takes samples from a single point or depth. However, especially for large volumes, 10 Temperature stratification, sediment accumulation, dissolved substance distribution, and in reservoirs Biological density can vary significantly at different depths. Therefore... Measurements taken at only a single level cannot accurately reflect the overall condition of the reservoir. It may not be able to reflect this in that way.

The flow reaching the analysis cell is 20 Changes in hydraulic characteristics cause additional deviations in measurement results. It is possible. In addition, air bubbles, irregular flow, and variable flow rates are observed in the analysis line. Pressure fluctuations can negatively affect the accuracy of optical analysis. Air bubbles within the sample can cause light to refract, scatter, or obstruct the optical path. This can cause changes in the analysis pipeline, leading to inaccurate measurements. Turbulent flow creates unstable flow conditions in the measurement volume, affecting the analysis results. It can reduce its sensitivity. In existing systems, on sensor surfaces, optical windows, and analysis channels Over time, biofilm, sediment, and chemical deposits can form. These 30 Contamination reduces measurement accuracy and requires manual inspection of the systems at regular intervals. This makes cleaning and recalibration necessary. Long 3 In long-term use, this situation increases maintenance costs and system reliability. It reduces. On the other hand, a significant portion of existing technical solutions utilize reference measurement structures. automatic calibration mechanisms and backwash-based cleaning systems separately. Although they can be used, there are 5 ways to ensure that they work integrated with the analysis pipeline. There are no compact structures. In addition, in current systems, samples taken from different depths are analyzed before... filtering, flow rate balancing, pressure fluctuation damping, air separation of bubbles and bringing the sample to laminar flow conditions 10 that perform their operations within a single integrated hydrodynamic preparation structure Modular systems are not available. Therefore, different times or different Analysis results obtained from depths under the same hydraulic conditions comparison is not possible and measurement accuracy is significantly affected.

The setup includes sampling, hydrodynamic conditioning, analysis, verification, cleaning, and to perform control functions sequentially within a single flowline It is structured. Thus, from sample collection to obtaining analysis results, it takes 5 minutes. Throughout the process, the flow characteristics are maintained, and additional features are added between different modules. The need for data transfer is eliminated, and measurement reliability is increased. The invention consists of: modular system body (1), reservoir connection apparatus (2), and a sample. inlet port (3), depth adjustable sampling tube (4), micro-pump (5), sample conveying channel (6), pre-filtering compartment (7), analysis cell (8), optical detection window (9), light 10 source (10), photodetector (11), biosensor surface (12), reference measurement chamber (13), Waste / return channel (14), control unit (15), data processing card (16), wireless communication module (17), power supply unit (18), solar panel connection (19), alarm outlet (20), automatic disinfectant dosing module (21), disinfectant reservoir (22), dosing pump (23), maintenance cover (24), calibration inlet (25), leak-proof seal (26), protective cover 15 outer casing (27), level sensor (28), temperature sensor (29), turbidity sensor (30), flow balancing chamber (31), bubble separator (32), laminar flow channel (33), reference liquid cartridge (34), cleaning fluid reservoir (35), backwash pump (36), cleaning valve (37), multi-way selector valve (38), rotary sample selector (39), pressure sensor (40), flow rate sensor (41), flow limiter (42), isolation valve (43), drain valve (44) and electronic 20 It consists of a protective compartment (45). The modular system housing (1) contains all the mechanical, hydraulic and electronic components of the assembly. It is the main load-bearing structure that carries the load and ensures the mechanical integrity of the system. The modular system body (1) connects to the reservoir or liquid via the reservoir connection adapter (2). It is securely fixed to the storage structure. Protective outer casing (27), 25 modular system housing (1), electronic components and flow lines to the outside environment It is designed to protect against the conditions. The maintenance cover (24) is located inside the system. Modular system housing to provide access to components requiring maintenance (1) It is located on the maintenance cover (24) and between the modular system body (1). Sealing is ensured by at least one leak-proof gasket (26). Modular system housing 30 (1), sampling module, hydrodynamic sample preparation module, analysis module and The electronic control modules can be disassembled and reassembled independently of each other. It has a segmented load-bearing architecture that allows for its construction. 9 Thus, only the relevant parties are involved during maintenance, parts replacement, and periodic servicing operations. The module is separated from the system, while the operational order of the other modules is preserved. This structure... also, modules can be added or removed according to different capacity and usage needs. It also allows for change. The sampling process involves placing the device at the desired depth within the reservoir, using a depth of 5. This is done via the adjustable sampling tube (4). Depth adjustable Sampling tube (4) allows the liquid at different levels of the reservoir to be sampled separately. This allows for the extraction of sediment and temperature stratification within the reservoir. accumulation, differences in biological density, and chemical changes at different depths. This makes it possible to analyze. Depth adjustable sampling tube (4), 10 telescopic pipe sections, modular pipe segments that can be joined together, or similar adaptable to different reservoir depths by using expandable pipe structures It can be configured in this way. Thus, the same system can be added at different reservoir heights. It can be used without requiring any structural changes. The sample taken through the depth adjustable sampling tube (4) is placed in the sample inlet (3) 15 is taken into the system via and sample conveying by micro-pump (5) The sample is conveyed through channel (6) to the hydrodynamic sample preparation module. Micro- The pump (5) works in conjunction with the flow restrictor (42) to deliver the sample to the analysis line in a controlled manner. This ensures that the sample is sent at a controlled flow rate. Thus, the sample flow during analysis is controlled. Sudden flow rate changes that may occur are prevented. Micro-pump (5), 20 constant or variable during the operating cycles managed by the control unit (15) It can be operated in a way that can generate flow rates. Thus, it can operate under different reservoir conditions. The sample is sent to the analysis line with the desired flow characteristics, and Sudden changes in flow rate that could affect the accuracy of the analysis are limited. In applications with multiple sampling lines, 25 samples are taken from different depths. The sample selection process is carried out by a rotary sample selector (39). The rotary sample selector (39) works in conjunction with the multi-way selection valve (38) to select the sample. connecting the line to the analysis line and isolating other unused sample lines from the flow. This allows samples taken from different depths to remain unmixed. They can be analyzed in turn. Rotary sample selector (39), 30 in the circumferential direction. Mechanical indexing of the desired sample from the numerous sample entry ports installed. It can rotate to align with the analysis line using the mechanism. Multi-way selection. The valve (38) keeps the other unselected sample inlets hydraulically closed, thus different It prevents samples taken from different depths from mixing together. The liquid sample from the sampling module is collected to improve the accuracy of the analysis. The system is redirected to the hydrodynamic specimen preparation module. Hydrodynamic specimen Preparation module; pre-filter chamber (7), flow balancing chamber (31), bubble separator 5 It includes an integrated flow line consisting of (32) and a laminar flow channel (33). The module standardizes the physical flow characteristics of the sample before analysis. Samples taken at different times and from different depths under the same hydrodynamic conditions This allows for comparison under these conditions. The sample first reaches the pre-filter compartment (7). The pre-filter compartment (7) contains 10 Large suspended particles can negatively affect the working sensitivity of the analysis system. retaining solid materials and foreign objects that could damage the analysis line It is designed to provide the pre-filter compartment (7), which can be replaced or It is designed to contain cleanable filter elements and can be cleaned via the maintenance cover (24). It is conveniently placed inside the modular system housing (1). 15 The sample passing through the pre-filter chamber (7) goes into the flow equalization chamber (31) It is directed. The flow balancing chamber (31) is more suitable than the sample conveying channel (6). It is designed to have a large internal volume and to accommodate sudden changes in flow rate. By reducing the flow rate, it allows the sample to acquire a more stable flow characteristic. Thus, with instantaneous flow changes created by the micro-pump (5), the reservoir 20 direct transmission of hydraulic fluctuations inside to the analysis cell (8) This is prevented. Volumetric expansion created in the flow balancing chamber (31) Thanks to this, the flow rate is reduced in a controlled manner, preventing sudden pressure increases. is damped and the sample reaching the analysis cell (8) has a more homogeneous hydrodynamic Character development is ensured. This situation occurs especially at different times 25 This increases the comparability of the analyses performed. The sample exiting the flow balancing chamber (31) reaches the bubble separator (32). Bubble separator (32) removes dissolved gases that may be present in the sample or Optical bubbles that may form during the pumping process It was created to reduce measurement errors. The upper 30 of the bubble separator (32) the lower section contains an air collection space where gases can accumulate, and the lower section contains the liquid. There is a liquid outlet that ensures its steady progress. Thus, with the gas phase The continuity of the sample reaching the analysis cell (8) is ensured by separating the liquid phase. 11 is increased. Bubble separator (32), thanks to the flow direction and internal volume geometry The gas phase, which has a lower density, accumulates in the upper region, while the liquid phase exits from the lower region. This allows it to progress steadily along its path. Thus, during optical measurement... The refraction and scattering of light are significantly reduced, thereby increasing the stability of the analysis. The sample coming out of the bubble separator (32) then flows into the laminar flow channel (33) 5 It is directed. The laminar flow channel (33) reduces the formation of turbulence in the flow. It is structured to reduce and regulate the flow direction. Laminar flow within the channel (33) parallel flow passages, flow rectifier elements or Similar hydrodynamic regulatory structures can be used. Thus, in the analysis cell... (8) The velocity distribution of the arriving sample is balanced, flow stability is increased and the measurement is 10 Irregular flow conditions can significantly negatively affect its accuracy. The laminar flow channel (33) is reduced to a large number of smaller flow paths. By dividing it, it contributes to a more even distribution of the flow rate. Thus, the analysis As smooth a velocity profile as possible is created at the inlet of cell (8), the measurement volume The formation of unstable flow regions is reduced. 15 The hydrodynamically conditioned sample is analyzed via the sample delivery channel (6). The sample is delivered to the cell (8). The analysis cell (8) contains the sample in a controlled volume. the analysis area where it is kept and where optical and biological analysis processes are carried out The analysis cell (8) prevents the sample from waiting unnecessarily in the system. It was designed with a low dead volume internal geometry to prevent this. 20 The optical sensing window (9) is located on the analysis cell (8). Optical sensing The window (9) is attached to the housing in such a way as to protect the seal of the analysis cell (8). fixed on the optical axis between the light source (10) and the photodetector (11) It is positioned. The light beam generated by the light source (10) is analyzed by the cell. (8) is passed through the sample inside, passed through the sample or by the sample 25 The scattered light is detected by the photodetector (11). The obtained optical data It is used to evaluate the physical and chemical properties of the sample. The optical sensing window (9), the light source (10) and the photodetector (11) are fixed relative to each other. Since it is positioned geometrically, the same optical measurement path is used in each analysis cycle. is protected. Thus, 30 that may arise from changes in optical path length. By reducing measurement deviations, the repeatability of analysis results is increased. In addition to the optical analysis structure, the biosensor is on the same flow path as the analysis cell (8). It has a surface (12). The biosensor surface (12) is where optical measurements are performed. 12 It is also possible to perform biological or biochemical analyses on the sample. Thus, optical and biological data obtained from the same sample are provided. This allows for comparative evaluation, increasing the reliability of the analysis. The analysis module also includes the reference measurement chamber (13). Reference measurement The reservoir (13) operates on the same working principle as the analysis cell (8) using the reference liquid. It enables verification measurements to be made. Reference measuring chamber (13), reference It is fed from the liquid cartridge (34) and is supplied at certain time intervals or as needed When detected, controlled flow of reference fluid to the analysis line via calibration input (25) This is how the accuracy of the analysis system's operation is given as a reference liquid. It can be controlled using the reference measuring chamber (13) and the analysis cell (8). 10 It operates under the same optical measurement principle and is obtained from the reference liquid. By comparing the measurement results with the sample measurement results, the problems in the system are examined. Optical aberrations that may occur can be identified. Thus, in long-term use... This contributes to maintaining measurement accuracy. The accuracy of the measurement processes performed in the analysis module remains at 15 for a long time. Automatic cleaning and calibration within the system to ensure its protection. The mechanism has been created. This mechanism consists of a cleaning fluid reservoir (35), backwashing pump (36), cleaning valve (37), isolation valve (43), drain valve (44), reference fluid It works with the cartridge (34) and calibration input (25). Thus, in the analysis line Biofilm, sediment, particle accumulation, and chemical residues that may form over time 20 It can be removed from the system without requiring user intervention. The control unit (15) performs certain analyses at the end of predetermined working periods. when the number is reached or there is a deviation in the accuracy of the analysis of the data obtained from the sensors It starts the automatic cleaning cycle if it detects that a problem has occurred. Before the cleaning process begins, the isolation valve (43) is closed and the reservoir and analysis 25 The flow between the lines is interrupted. Thus, new water is drawn from the reservoir during the cleaning process. Sample entry is prevented. After the isolation valve (43) is closed, the backwash pump (36) cleans It takes cleaning fluid from the fluid reservoir (35) and feeds it into the analysis line with normal sample flow. It sends the data in the opposite direction. Thanks to the flow created in the reverse direction, the analysis cell 30 (8), sample conveying channel (6), laminar flow channel (33), bubble separator (32), flow Sediments that may have accumulated in the equalization chamber (31) and pre-filtering chamber (7), Biofilm layers and other pollutants are dissolved and removed from the system. 13 The reverse flow created during washing passes through the pre-filter chamber (7) along the analysis line, flow balancing chamber (31), bubble separator (32), laminar flow channel (33), analysis cell (8) and by removing the deposits formed in the sample conveying channel (6) and to the discharge valve (44) It carries the data correctly. Thus, the inside of the analysis line can be analyzed without the need to dismantle the system. The surfaces can be cleaned. 5 The cleaning fluid is flushed through the cleaning valve (37) during the backwashing process. is directed to the flow path and discharge valve (44) with the pollutants it carries It is discharged from the system via this route. Thus, the contaminated cleaning fluid is discharged from the analysis line. recirculation is prevented and the analysis system is activated in each cleaning cycle. It is being returned to clean working conditions. 10 Following the completion of the cleaning cycle, the system uses the reference fluid cartridge (34) The received reference liquid is directed to the analysis line via the calibration inlet (25). The reference liquid is delivered to the analysis cell (8) and the reference measuring chamber (13) The measurement accuracy of the system is being checked. The measured values ​​are predetermined. If the sample is within the reference ranges, the system will return to resampling mode. If any deviation is detected, the control unit (15) re-verifies. to perform the cycle or alert the user via the alarm output (20) It provides. Within the scope of the invention, the management of all system components is done by the control unit (15). is carried out. The control unit (15) works together with the data processing card (16) 20 Sampling procedures, analysis cycles, cleaning procedures, calibration processes and automated disinfectant dosing in a coordinated manner It manages the data processing card (16), the measurement from the analysis module and sensors. It makes operational decisions of the system by processing its data. Control unit (15), Sampling, analysis, verification, cleaning and disinfectant dosing procedures must be carried out in advance 25 days. It executes sequentially according to a defined workflow algorithm, and a process It prevents the next process from starting before completion. Thus, system cycles They are carried out safely without affecting each other. The control unit (15) transmits the analysis results via the wireless communication module (17). 30 to remote monitoring systems, computers or mobile communication devices It can transfer the water. Thus, it becomes possible to physically go to the location of the reservoir. System status, analysis results, and maintenance information can be accessed remotely without needing to be physically present. It can be tracked. 14 The system's energy needs are met by the power supply unit (18). Power power supply unit (18), from external energy sources or solar panel connection (19) It is configured to receive electrical energy. This allows it to receive energy, in particular. In open reservoirs where infrastructure is lacking, the system can operate uninterrupted for extended periods. It can be operated. All electronic components are in the electronic protection compartment (45) 5 stored inside to protect against moisture, dust, temperature changes, and external environmental influences. It is protected. The invention aims to enable continuous monitoring of the reservoir's operating conditions. level sensor (28), temperature sensor (29), turbidity sensor (30), pressure sensor (40) and flow sensor (41) is used. Level sensor (28) detects the liquid level in the reservoir 10 determining; temperature sensor (29), measuring the temperature of the liquid; turbidity sensor (30), It monitors changes in turbidity depending on the concentration of suspended solids. Pressure The sensor (40) and the flow sensor (41) are the hydrodynamic sample preparation module. By continuously monitoring the operating conditions, any blockages that may occur in the flow system, It enables the identification of leaks or flow rate variations. 15 The control unit (15) displays the optical and biological analysis results obtained from the analysis module. By evaluating the environmental measurement data received from the sensors together with the overall assessment of the reservoir... It determines water quality. The analysis results are based on predefined threshold values. If it exceeds the limit, the alarm output (20) is activated and if necessary The automatic disinfectant dosing module (21) is put into operation. 20 Automatic disinfectant dosing module (21), disinfectant reservoir (22) and dosing pump (23) works together with the control unit (15), determined according to the analysis results. to calculate the dosage amount and operate the dosing pump (23) to dispense disinfectant the controlled release of disinfectant taken from the reservoir (22) into the reservoir This ensures that biological contamination or similar problems detected in the reservoir are addressed.
