Online turbidity measurement for industrial processes
Turbidity measurement gives operators a continuous view of suspended solids, product concentration and liquid-to-liquid transitions. Milktronics supplies online turbidity and absorption instruments for dairy, food, beverage, filtration, chemical and wastewater processes across the USA and Canada.
Where turbidity monitoring adds value
- Phase transitions: detect the interface between product, water and cleaning solution.
- CIP optimization: replace fixed rinse times with real-time endpoint detection to reduce water, energy and product loss.
- Filtration and membrane protection: identify low-level contamination, filter breakthrough and permeate loss.
- Wastewater monitoring: track suspended solids and changing organic load in drains, lift stations and effluent lines.
- Product consistency: monitor concentration and process changes in dairy, beverage, food, chemical and sugar applications.
Choose the right measurement principle
Low-range scattered-light instruments are suited to clear water, reverse osmosis, condensate and filter-leak applications. Absorption sensors are effective for higher turbidity, suspended solids and product-to-water transitions. The correct range, wavelength, process connection and temperature rating depend on the media and the result you need to control.
