Measurement target
Identify suspended solids, mixed-liquor suspended solids or concentrated sludge.
01
Select for solids range and the real process point
Optical solids measurement depends on the target, concentration range, particle distribution, sludge homogeneity, bubbles, velocity, mounting and cleaning—not only a maximum mg/L value.
02
Confirm these conditions before selection
Minimum to peak range
Provide minimum, normal, peak and alarm mg/L values.
Process and homogeneity
Confirm process point, particle distribution, bubbles, settling and sludge homogeneity.
Mounting and interfaces
Provide pressure, velocity, material, cleaning, cable, 4–20 mA, relays and RS485 requirements.

Typical applications

Suspended-solids and sludge selection questions
How should I choose between PSS-800 and PSS-600?+
Use the target, minimum-to-peak range, homogeneity, process point and mounting. PSS-800 covers wider and higher documented ranges; PSS-600 uses a slimmer sensor.
Why is sludge homogeneity important?+
Optical readings are affected by particle distribution, bubbles and sludge homogeneity, so the real process condition must be confirmed with the range.
