Turbidity

Turbidity is the scattering of light caused by suspended particles in a liquid. The light is dispersed in all directions and partially absorbed by the particles, depending on their size, surface area, and color. The measurement of this phenomenon is known as nephelometry.

Turbidity Units:

  • FNU (Formazin Nephelometric Unit): Defined by ISO 7027 using infrared light (860 ± 60 nm) measured at a 90° angle.
  • FAU (Formazin Absorbance Unit): Also defined by ISO 7027, using infrared light (860 ± 60 nm) measured at a 180° angle.
  • NTU (Nephelometric Turbidity Unit): Defined by EPA Method 180.1, using visible light (tungsten lamp) measured at a 90° angle.
  • FTU (Formazin Turbidity Unit): Used when turbidity is measured without a standardized angle.

Correlation with Total Suspended Solids (TSS)
An empirical correlation can be established through laboratory analysis of collected samples :
Total Suspended Solids (TSS) are expressed as mass per unit volume, typically in mg/L or as a percentage (e.g., 100 g/L may correspond to 2, 3, ... or 1000 particles, depending on particle type and distribution).

TURBISWITCH GS5

Turbidity controller

The TURBISWITCH GS5 with one of its associated probes or cells, operates turbidity measurements for evaluation of solid content of a liquid.
The turbidity signal is read out as a limit value (adjustable ) via the controller GS5.
Turbidity measurement is based on the principle of optical attenuation of transmitted light, i.e. depends directly on the amount of undissolved solids in the liquid.
Pulse infrared light makes the measurement not affected by ambient light.
If the measured turbidity value is exceeding or below the trigger point value, the output relay in the TURBISWITCH GS5 is actuated in accordance with the settings.

Features

  • Cost-effective turbidity controller
  • Adjustable threshold along 3 ranges ( Low / Medium / High )
  • Adjustable time delay and hysteresis
  • 2 contacts (N.O.), potential free
  • 1 fault contact (N.O.), potential free

Level Indicators

MAGTOP

Level indicator

MAGTOP 300 is a device designed to indicate instant level of liquid in a tank.
Thanks to its two-tone magnetic flaps, which swivel as the float passes through the measurement tube, it provides a clear, precise reading. Its mechanical robustness enables it to be installed on liquids such as hot water or oils, subject to relatively high temperatures or pressures.

Operating conditions
This model is suitable for pressures up to 16 bar and maximum temperatures of 300 °C. For use beyond these limits, the MAGTOP D model must be used.

The T2F transmitter in the head converts the resitor value into a 4-20 mA signal.

Manufactured according to your application; Installation and commissioning are simplified on site (factory calibration).

Measurement display: The RTM may be connected to a BAMOWIZ or to an ITU unit.

Applications
- Continuous level measurement on containers

Features

Safety systems for oil-water / grease-water separators

NivOil®

Oil/Light liquid separator monitoring

The NivOil monitoring system is used with oil/light liquid separators. It is used to monitor the level of the accumulating oil/light liquid layer, the maximum accumulation level in case of blockage of the drainage system and, if applicable, the sludge layer settling on the bottom.

Up to a maximum of three monitoring probes can be connected to the sensor power supply unit - type: NivOil CU (BVS 07 ATEX E 090).

The oil probe - type: NivOil OP (BVS 07 ATEX E 091 X) detects the oil/light liquid layer floating on the water.

The high level probe - type: NivOil HP (BVS 07 ATEX E 092 X) detects a blockage of the drainage system.
This alarm can inform that drainage is blocked.

The alternative high level probe - type: NivOil HPS (BVS 09 ATEX E 021 X) detects a blockage of the drainage system. An alarm signal is triggered as soon as the inflowing water has reached a level that is to high.

The sludge level probe - type: NivOil SP (BVS 09 ATEX E 021 X) detects whether a sludge layer has grown on the bottom of the separator. As soon as the sludge level has reached the too high level an alarm signal is triggered.

All probe inputs are self-configuring.
Therefore, one of the three different intrinsically safe probe types can be connected to each of the three intrinsically safe channels of the power supply unit (NivOil CU). The unit detects which intrinsically safe probe type is connected to which channel and activates the corresponding LED on the front panel.
If a channel is not assigned, its LEDs also remain switched off during operation. The unit has a built-in horn. If necessary, it can be deactivated with DIP switch 1.

Applications

Monitoring of oil/light liquid separators.

Features

  • Status and alarm signalling
  • Automatic probe recognition
  • 3x alarm relay output
  • Audible alarm signalling
  • EU type-examination tested
