A turbidity monitor is an instrument used to measure turbidity in liquids. It is able to assess the clarity and clarity of liquids by analyzing suspended solids, particles or particles in them. Turbidity monitors are widely used in water treatment, drinking water source protection, environmental monitoring and industrial production, and play an important role in achieving water quality monitoring and water treatment.
Turbidity refers to the amount and size of visible substances in a liquid, i.e., the number of suspended particles in a body of water and the size of suspended particles. Typically, turbidity is related to sediment, microorganisms, plankton, mineral particles, etc., in the water body. Turbidity monitors can accurately assess the turbidity of liquids by measuring the degree to which light is scattered by particles or suspended solids in a liquid using optical sensors. By monitoring and analyzing turbidity changes, liquid contamination can be detected and solved in a timely manner, ensuring safe and stable water quality.
The working principle of turbidity monitors is based on Beer's Law, which states that when light passes through a liquid containing particles, the particles scatter the light, making the beam opaque. A turbidity monitor uses a light source to irradiate a flowing liquid, collecting the intensity of the reflected light at a specific angle. The instrument converts the scattered light into an electrical signal through a photoelectric converter, and the signal is processed by a receiver to obtain a turbidity value. The turbidity value is calculated by comparing the difference in light intensity between the scattered light and the light source. The turbidity values can be compared to international standards according to the calibration curve to determine the concentration and size of suspended particles in the liquid.
Turbidity monitors offer a variety of advantages. First, it can provide real-time monitoring and accurate measurement results. By means of a turbidity monitor fixed in the pipeline, the turbidity value of the fluid can be continuously monitored and anomalies can be detected in time. Secondly, turbidity monitors are highly automated and highly reliable. The device can be automatically calibrated and calibrated, and is able to provide accurate measurement results in different environments. In addition, turbidity monitors can be configured to network with other water quality monitoring instruments and control systems for automated management and remote monitoring. This makes the equipment more widely used and more convenient to use.
Turbidity monitors have a wide range of applications in various fields. In the field of water treatment, turbidity monitors can be used to detect and control the turbidity of water sources to ensure the safety of drinking water and compliance with standards. In environmental monitoring, turbidity monitors can be used to monitor turbidity changes in rivers, lakes and oceans to assess water quality status and impacts on aquatic ecosystems. In industrial production, turbidity monitors can be applied to chemical, pharmaceutical, food processing and other processes to monitor and control the turbidity of production fluids to ensure the quality of products.
