ZL-PTU-8011 turbidity meter based on the infrared absorption scattered light method and combined with the application of ISO7027 method, can guarantee the continuous and accurate detection of turbidity. Based on ISO7027, infrared double scattering light technology will not be affected by chroma for the measurement of turbidity value. According to the usage environment, self-cleaning function can be equipped with. It assures the stability of data and reliability of performance; with the built-in self-diagnosis function, it can make sure the accurate data be delivered; besides, the installation and calibration is quite simple.
Product Introduction
The ZL-PTU-8011 turbidity sensor is a type of process control instrument used to measure the degree of cloudiness or haziness of a liquid sample. It is commonly used in water treatment plants, food and beverage processing, and other industrial applications where water quality is critical. The key features of a turbidity sensor include its ability to detect minute particles and suspended solids in the liquid sample, and its high accuracy and sensitivity.
The main advantage of a turbidity sensor is its ability to provide real-time measurements of water quality, allowing for immediate corrective actions to be taken if the turbidity levels exceed acceptable limits. This helps to ensure that the water is safe and suitable for its intended use. Turbidity sensors also require minimal maintenance, making them a cost-effective solution for long-term monitoring of water quality.
Turbidity sensors are commonly used in water treatment plants to monitor the effectiveness of the treatment process and ensure that the water meets regulatory standards. They are also used in food and beverage processing to monitor the clarity of liquids and ensure that they are free from contaminants. In addition, turbidity sensors are used in industrial applications such as mining, where they are used to monitor the clarity of process water and ensure that it is suitable for use in the production process.
Application Field
1. Drinking Water Treatment & Safety
This is the most critical application, directly tied to public health.
-
Plant Process Control: Monitoring the effectiveness of coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, and filtration processes. Operators use real-time turbidity data to optimize chemical dosing and ensure filters are working correctly.
-
Regulatory Compliance: Continuous monitoring of final effluent to ensure it meets strict governmental standards for safe drinking water (e.g., EPA requirements of <0.3 NTU in the US).
-
Distribution Network Monitoring: Sensors placed throughout the pipe network can detect events like pipe breaks, biofilm sloughing, or contamination ingress that increase turbidity.
2. Wastewater & Environmental Monitoring
-
Wastewater Treatment Effluent: Measuring the clarity of treated water before it is discharged into rivers or lakes to comply with environmental permits and protect aquatic ecosystems
3. Industrial Processes
Turbidity is used as a proxy for quality control and process efficiency.
-
Food & Beverage Production: Monitoring the clarity of products like beer, wine, juice, milk, and bottled water. It is a key parameter for consistent product quality and taste.
-
Pharmaceuticals & Biotechnology: Ensuring the purity of Water for Injection (WFI) and purified water used in production. Also used to monitor cell density in bioreactors during fermentation.
-
Chemical Manufacturing: Controlling processes where the formation or separation of particles is crucial.
4. Aquaculture & Aquariums
-
Fish Farm & Hatchery Management: High turbidity can stress fish, harm gills, and reduce growth rates. Monitoring helps maintain optimal conditions.
-
Large Public Aquariums: Essential for maintaining the health of sensitive exhibits and ensuring clear viewing water for visitors.
