Turbidity measurement and monitoring systems

Turbidity is a measure of the clarity or transparency of water. Water can appear cloudy or murky due to suspended particles such as silt, algae, plankton, and sewage. Rather than transmitting light directly through the water, these particles scatter and absorb light rays. Therefore, it is one of the most commonly measured water quality parameters. However, turbidity is essential in various applications, ranging from influencing fish searching for spawning areas to affecting the taste of beverages.

A higher turbidity reading indicates cloudier and ‘thicker’ water with more particles. Conversely, water with a low turbidity level is clear.

Storm runoff, wind erosion, coastal erosion, dredging, sewer discharge, animals, algae, and other factors can all contribute to an increase in turbidity in a natural body of water.

Turbidity measurement and monitoring systems illuminate a sample solution with a light beam and measure the light scattered by particles.

Our comprehensive range of turbidity measurement and monitoring systems includes sludge blanket TSS sensors that also measure total suspended solids and tough, low-maintenance turbidity systems for NTUs or Nephelometric Turbidity Units.
