Krohne OPTISENS TSS 2000 total suspended solids sensor

The Krohne OPTISENS TSS 2000 total suspended solids sensor features a fast response time and can be used to optimise processes, increase yield or monitor limits. Target applications in the water and 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 sensor can also be used to monitor product loss in open channels in the food and beverage industry, effluent in chemical, white water in pulp and paper, or thickeners in metals and mining.

In combination with the MAC 100 transmitter, the sensor offers a complete TSS measuring point for ranges 0–4 AU or 0–18.5 g/l. 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 affected by colour or natural ambient light. It is factory calibrated with up to six linearisation points with linear or non-linear fitting. Installation without assembly (hung-up cable installation) is possible, but the use of the fibreglass telescopic sensor assembly SENSOFIT IMM 2000 is recommended.
