Sludge Blanket Sensors

Partech offer a selection of sensors that for use in conjunction with our range of Sludge Blanket monitoring instruments. All the sensors use infrared attenuation as their operating principle, this makes them sufficiently sensitive for use on thin water treatment sludges as well as the more usual sewage treatment applications. When monitoring the Sludge Blanket Level in settlement tanks it is important to ensure that the sensor is sensitive enough to detect low density solids before 'carry-over' to the next process stage occurs, ensuring that potential pollution events are highlighted before they occur. At the same time the sensor should not be 'blinded' by solids in the supernatant. Advice on sensor selection is included in the brochure and our engineers are available to provide further advice if required.

Soli-Tech 20v2 Sensors: available in 3 ranges, these sensors benefit from a machined housing and offer excellent resistance to temperature and chemical attack.

Infrared Sensors: available in 4 ranges, these sensors are preferred when fouling of the sensor 'gap' is an issue and are easier to clean. The sensors shown are supplied with the 8100 and 8200 Monitors to provide an alarm for high sludge blanket level and with the ASLD 2200 to provide a continuous output signal.
