Designed for clarifiers, open-top tanks, and pipelines, this meter is unaffected by fluid color or particulates, ensuring reliable results even in thick concentrations. By monitoring solids concentration, the system helps calculate mass flow and optimize polymer dosing, thickener operation, and pump control, reducing both material and energy costs.
The instrument is available with either a non-intrusive inline sensor or a throw-in probe, featuring easy push-button calibration, automatic damping, and self-diagnostics.
Features
• Real-time readings of silt, sludge, and slurry concentrations
• Ultrasonic, non-nuclear technology (no permits required)
• Monitor Total Suspended Solids (TSS) even in thick concentrations
• Continuously measure, monitor & control the percentage of suspended solids.
• Automate pumps to maintain preferred density
• Easy set-up & push-button calibration
• Simple high & low set-point adjustment
• Automatic dynamic damping
• Advanced self-diagnostics
