Partech TurbiTech Suspended Solids & Turbidity Sensors
SKU: TurbiTech Suspended Solids
The TurbiTech Sensors have been designed for use in aeration systems to monitor suspended solids also known as mixed liquor suspended solids or activated sludge where solids are typically in the range of 1,500 to 14,000 mg/l. The sensors can also measure Returned Activated Sludge (RAS), Surplus Activated Sludge (SAS) and suspended solids or turbidity. High MLSS concentrations promote numerous process benefits, including stable operation, complete nitrification, and reduced biosolids production reducing biological volume requirements (and associated footprint) to only 20-30 percent of conventional biological processes.
Description
The large optical surface and sample volume combine to ensure that the sensor is providing information that is reliable and representative of the solids present in the process. Deposits of fats and grease on the sensing area do not prevent the sensor from measuring unlike sensors with small optical surfaces. In addition, the sensor incorporates a self cleaning mechanism that ensures the optical surfaces are kept clean at all times, the cleaning system is designed to avoid problems with ragging and does not smear the optical system.

Radial Cleaning
TurbiTech’s unique optical cleaning system scrapes the grime off the optics and protects the optics from fouling between readings.

Fouling Resistant
TurbiTech has a large sample area, which minimizes the effects of small debris on the accuracy of the reading.

Operator-Friendly Maintenance
TurbiTech seals are designed to be easily changed by the user. Maintenance of the sensor doesn’t require special technical training. The sensor has long operational cycles with recommended changes every 2 to 3 years depending on application.
