Suspended solids sensor.

The OPTISENS TSS 2000, a new total suspended solids (TSS) sensor introduced by Krohne, is a robust, cost-effective immersion sensor for process and quality control in industrial and municipal wastewater applications.

It 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, the unit 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.
