New suspended solids sensor

Krohne intro­duces Optisens TSS 2000: the new total sus­pend­ed solids (TSS) sen­sor is a robust, cost-effec­tive immer­sion sen­sor for process and qual­i­ty con­trol in indus­tri­al and munic­i­pal waste­water applications.
The new sen­sor fea­tures a fast response time and can be used to opti­mize process­es, increase yield or mon­i­tor lim­its: tar­get appli­ca­tions in the water & waste­water indus­try include mixed liquor sus­pend­ed solids (MLSS) mon­i­tor­ing, sludge dis­charge of pri­ma­ry and sec­ondary sed­i­men­ta­tion (clar­i­fi­er) tanks, or mon­i­tor­ing of bio­log­i­cal treat­ment in waste­water aer­a­tion basins. The new sen­sor can also be used to mon­i­tor prod­uct loss in open chan­nels in the food & bev­er­age indus­try, efflu­ent in chem­i­cal, white water in pulp & paper or thick­en­ers in met­al & mining.
In com­bi­na­tion with MAC 100 trans­mit­ter, Optisens TSS 2000 offers a com­plete TSS mea­sur­ing point for ranges 0…4 AU / 0…18.5 g/l at a com­pet­i­tive price. The sin­gle-beam sen­sor comes with a rugged stain­less steel body, scratch resis­tant sap­phire win­dows and auto­mat­ic sen­sor clean­ing option. Using near-infrared NIR tech­nol­o­gy, it is not effect­ed by colour or nat­ur­al ambi­ent light. It is fac­to­ry cal­i­brat­ed with up to 6 lin­eariza­tion points with lin­ear or non-lin­ear fit­ting. Instal­la­tion with­out assem­bly (hung up cable instal­la­tion) is pos­si­ble, but the use of fibre-glass tele­scop­ic sen­sor assem­bly Sen­sofit IMM 2000 is rec­om­mend­ed. For more demand­ing appli­ca­tions, e.g. dif­fi­cult waste water con­di­tions or hygien­ic require­ments, Optisens TSS 3000 and 7000 with 4‑beam tech­nol­o­gy are available.
