The TurbiTech sensors are designed for use in aeration systems to monitor suspended solids, also known as mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) or activated sludge, where solids typically range from 1,500 to 14,000 mg/L.
These sensors can also measure Returned Activated Sludge (RAS), Surplus Activated Sludge (SAS), and suspended solids or turbidity. High MLSS concentrations offer several process benefits, including stable operation, complete nitrification, and reduced biosolids production. This reduces biological volume requirements and the associated footprint to only 20–30% of conventional biological processes.
