About Turbidity & TSS

Detection Principles: Optical Scattering & Transmission Analysis

Our advanced sensors utilize precision optical methods to provide a highly sensitive, real-time assessment of water clarity and solid loading, far surpassing manual gravimetric sampling in consistency and speed.

  • Turbidity Measurement (ISO 7027 Nephlometric Principle): Based on the international ISO 7027 standard, the sensor utilizes the 90-degree light scattering principle, where an infrared beam (typically 860nm) detects suspended particles in water. By measuring the intensity of the scattered light at a right angle to the incident beam, the system provides a precise Formazin Nephelometric Unit (FNU/NTU) reading, ensuring total compliance with environmental discharge regulations.

  • Total Suspended Solids (TSS) Monitoring (Optical Attenuation): TSS measurement is achieved through the light transmission principle, tracking the attenuation of an infrared signal as it passes through the water column. This method allows for the continuous quantification of Total Suspended Solids (TSS) in mg/L, providing critical data to optimize filtration processes, protect downstream membranes, and ensure efficient sludge management in municipal and industrial treatment plants.

High-precision real-time monitoring of Turbidity and Total Suspended Solids (TSS) is the technological backbone of modern green development and ESG compliance, ensuring that industrial effluent and municipal wastewater treatment align with the strictest ISO 7027 standards. Our digital sensors provide an essential safeguard for fragile aquatic ecosystems, preventing sediment-driven ecological degradation and protecting high-value downstream infrastructure like RO membranes from premature fouling. Integrating continuous TSS data into your Smart Water Network not only minimizes your environmental footprint by reducing chemical and energy consumption but also drives a circular economy through optimized water reclamation and zero-liquid discharge (ZLD) strategies.

Frequently Asked Questions

Still have questions? Get expert technical support and pricing below.

1. What is the most accurate method for online turbidity measurement?
The ISO 7027 compliant nephelometric principle (90-degree light scattering) is the global standard for high-accuracy online turbidity monitoring. This infrared method ensures precise readings in both drinking water and wastewater by minimizing interference from sample color.
2. Can a single sensor measure both Turbidity and Total Suspended Solids (TSS)?
Yes, advanced digital sensors correlate light attenuation and scattering data to provide simultaneous Turbidity (NTU/FNU) and TSS (mg/L) readings. This dual-parameter capability allows for comprehensive water clarity and solids loading assessment in a single installation.
3. How do self-cleaning turbidity sensors reduce maintenance costs?
Integrated automatic wiper blades or ultrasonic cleaners prevent bio-fouling and sediment buildup on the optical lens. This technology drastically reduces manual intervention, ensuring stable data in high-fouling environments like activated sludge or industrial effluent.
4. What is the difference between NTU and FNU in turbidity reporting?
NTU (Nephelometric Turbidity Units) typically refers to white light sources (EPA 180.1), while FNU (Formazin Nephelometric Units) refers to infrared sources (ISO 7027). While mathematically similar, FNU is preferred for colored water samples to prevent spectral interference.
5. Are digital TSS controllers compatible with existing SCADA or PLC systems?
Our controllers feature RS485 Modbus-RTU digital interfaces and 4-20mA analog outputs for seamless integration into industrial automation networks. This ensures real-time data synchronization with your existing facility management software.
6. How do I choose the right turbidity sensor for high-concentration sludge?
For high-concentration applications, look for sensors using the 90°/180° backscatter principle or near-infrared light, as they can penetrate dense liquids where standard white light sensors would fail.
7. How often does an online digital turbidity sensor require calibration?
Thanks to ultra-stable LED light sources, digital sensors maintain minimal drift and typically require calibration only every 3 to 6 months. Advanced diagnostic features within the controller will alert users if the signal integrity requires attention.
8. How does TSS monitoring contribute to Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) goals?
Precise TSS data allows for optimized filtration and membrane protection, which is critical for successful water reclamation and reuse. By tracking solid loading in real-time, facilities can maximize water recovery and achieve long-term sustainability targets.
