Water-monitoring sensors
OLPAS - Model OTE-TSSC - TSS Monitoring in Sewers and CSO
Tracking TSS (Total Suspended Solids) is crucial for gaining valuable insights into water quality evolution. Additionally, it serves as an alarm system for breakthroughs or overflows. The durable Olpas Tentacle sensors are versatile, capable of installation in open water, rivers, or in challenging environments such as sewers and overflows. Olpas Tentacle Sensors have been build with remote monitoring in mind. The sensors use less energy, are accurate, and fouling resistant. This makes them the most optimal practical and economical choice for remote monitoring.
OLPAS - Model OTE-SEDA - Sediment Load Monitoring
Thanks to the extended maintenance intervals and low power consumption, Olpas sensors present an economic solution for sediment load monitoring in open waters and canals. Eliminating fault-prone mechanical wipers and a superior (bio)fouling resistance, sensor visits are only required for battery replacement and visual inspections, reducing the frequency of maintenance.Sludge concentration sensors
OLPAS - Model OTU-SDXB - TSS Monitoring in Dewatering Centrate
Measuring Total Suspended Solids (TSS) in dewatering centrate is a challenging task, but the innovative OLPAS ultrasound measurement technology makes it achievable, providing valuable insights into the dewatering process`s effectiveness. Measuring Total Suspended Solids (TSS) in centrate is a valuable metric for monitoring the dewatering process in a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). It give insight in the the dewatering efficiency, but also provides quality assurance: TSS measurement ensures that the quality of the separated liquid (centrate) meets the requirements before it is flow back into the WWTP for processing.
OLPAS - Model OTU-SDXA - Sludge Concentration sensor (TSS)
The Olpas Sludge Concentration sensors, use the innovative ultrasound OLPAS technology, thus providing a reliable and economical measurement. The technology used, provides a fouling-resistant measurement of the sludge concentration, independent of sludge type or morphology. There are several version available with a small transducer for easy inline installation, for installation with the Olpas hot-tap retractable, and versions that are optimised for installation in a bassin. With the unprecedented fouling-resistance, which results in maintenance interval that are 4 times longer compared to optical sensors, the sensor provides an economic measurement that is several times cheaper compared to alternative technologies. Several hardware versions are available, all using the same innovative OLPAS Technology.
