Zusammenfassung:Described and claimed is a modular fluorometer and a method of using same to control an industrial water system, wherein said modular fluorometer comprises: one or more units with each unit comprising: a channel comprising an optically appropriate cell through which a water sample flows; a light source positioned outside said optically appropriate cell; an optional excitation filter positioned between the light source and the optically appropriate cell; a reference detector positioned outside the optically appropriate cell; an emission detector positioned outside the optically appropriate cell; an optional emission filter positioned between said emission detector and said optically appropriate cell; wherein if more than one unit is present in said modular fluorometer, said optically appropriate cells through which said water sample flows are aligned such that only one channel through which a water sample flows exists in said fluorometer. Se describe y reclama un fluorometro modular y un metodo de uso del mismo para controlar un sistema de agua industrial, en donde el fluorometro modular comprende: una o mas unidades que comprenden cada una: un canal que comprende una celda opticamente adecuada a traves de la cual fluye una muestra de agua; una fuente de luz colocada fuera de la celda opticamente adecuada; un filtro de excitacion opcional , colocado entre la fuente de luz y la celda opticamente adecuada; un detector de referencia colocado fuera de la celda opticamente adecuada; un detector de emisiones colocado fuera de la celda opticamente adecuada; un filtro de emisiones opcional colocado entre el detector de emisiones y la celda opticamente adecuada; en donde si mas de una unidad esta presente en el fluorometro modular, las celdas opticamente adecuadas a traves de las cuales fluye la muestra de agua son alineadas de tal manera que solo exista en el fluororitetro un canal a traves del cual fluya una muestra de agua.
