Online sludge concentration analyzer Rapid On-Site Measurement of Sludge Concentration

Online sludge concentration analyzer is a water quality analysis instrument utilizing the principle of scattered light measurement. It features a measurement range of 0 to 20.000 g/L, a measurement accuracy of ±5%, and a resolution of 0.001 g/L. It is primarily designed for the rapid, on-site measurement of sludge concentration in settings such as wastewater treatment plants, water supply plants, paper mills, and environmental monitoring stations.

Online sludge concentration analyzer is used for the rapid, on-site measurement of sludge and suspended solids concentrations in water bodies. The instrument focuses specifically on measuring sludge concentration parameters, offering a range of 0 to 20.000 g/L. Employing the scattered light principle, it achieves a measurement accuracy of ±5% (depending on sludge homogeneity) and a resolution of 0.001 g/L. The instrument consists of two main components: a transmitter unit housed in a polyester casing and a sensor unit constructed from 316 stainless steel. With an IP68 protection rating, it is capable of meeting measurement requirements in a wide variety of harsh environmental conditions.

The measurement principle of Online sludge concentration analyzer is based on multi-beam mutual compensation technology. An emitter located on the sensor transmits infrared light; as this light travels through the medium being measured, it undergoes absorption, reflection, and scattering, resulting in only a small fraction of the light reaching the detector. The transmittance of the transmitted light bears a specific correlation to the concentration of suspended solids within the water sample; thus, by measuring this transmittance, the suspended solids concentration can be calculated. Certain models utilize four-beam technology, employing two emitters and two detectors to generate a series of light paths and acquire a data matrix. By analyzing these data signals, the instrument can effectively eliminate interference and compensate for deviations caused by fouling, thereby ensuring stable operation even in challenging environments.

Online sludge concentration analyzer is suitable for detecting suspended solids concentrations in water across various stages of wastewater treatment—including inlets, outlets, aeration tanks, return sludge lines, primary sedimentation tanks, sludge thickening tanks, and sludge dewatering processes. It is also applicable for measuring suspended solids concentrations in water within other industrial facilities, such as water supply plants, paper mills, coal washing plants, and power generation facilities. The instrument is powered by a built-in rechargeable battery and charges via a USB interface. Its portable design allows operators to carry it with ease, making it particularly well-suited for routine spot-checks of sludge concentration in the sedimentation tanks of wastewater and water treatment plants. The entire unit features an IP65 protection rating and is equipped with a high-contrast LCD screen that ensures clear readability across a range of temperature conditions. In terms of technical specifications, different models offer measurement ranges of either 9999 mg/L or 30 g/L, with a resolution of 5 mg/L or 0.01 g/L, and an accuracy of 1% FS (which may vary depending on the specific measurement medium). The sensor cable typically measures 10 meters in length, though certain models allow for an extension up to 11 meters. Additionally, the instrument features a data storage function and can connect directly to a computer via a standard USB interface; Windows operating systems automatically recognize the device, requiring no additional drivers.
