Suspended Solids Analyser Overview

Suspended solids measurement tells you how much solid material is in water or sludge. In wastewater plants it's used to control sludge wasting, return sludge and thickening, and to check the clarity of the final effluent.

Chemitec S461 N sensor

  • Infrared pulsing beam method
  • Ranges 0 to 30 g/l activated sludge or 0 to 100 g/l kaolin
  • Resolution 0.1 g/l, accuracy ±0.3 g/l, response T90 under 60 s
  • Stainless steel 316 body (PVC optional) with special epoxy windows, 1" GAS thread

Chemitec Series 30 transmitter

Displays the reading, raises alarms and sends a 4 to 20 mA signal to your PLC or SCADA.

Typical uses

  • Mixed liquor (MLSS) in aeration tanks
  • Return and surplus activated sludge
  • Sludge thickeners and dewatering feed

For low solids and clarity, see Turbidity Sensors.

FAQ

Common questions

What's the difference between turbidity and suspended solids?

Turbidity measures cloudiness optically, mainly in clear water. Suspended solids gives the solids concentration in g/l, used for sludge.

What range does the S461 N cover?

0 to 30 g/l of activated sludge, or 0 to 100 g/l kaolin.

Can it measure MLSS in the aeration tank?

Yes. Measuring mixed liquor suspended solids is a typical use.
