Behind the panels: Ultra low turbidity monitoring for drinking water

This "Behind the panels" blog shows a panel with Ultra low turbidity monitoring for drinking water panel.

Ultra low turbidity is often a needed parameter in drinking water, reverse osmosis and dechlorination plants.

For drinking water installations, a flow cell is needed to reduce stray light interference, eliminate air bubbles and drop-out of large particulate and suspended solids including precipitated inorganics such as iron and manganese.

This panel has a fixed piping manifold with a low flow switch combined with the flow cell. The ball valve and 3/4" thread connection simplify the installation and maintenance.

The NanoTron controller powers the sensor and provides a live reading of the ultra low turbidity. The controller has a 4-20mA output signal that is used to send the live reading to a central system. The output relays are used for alarming in case the reading goes out of range or in case of a no flow situation.

These panels are a great solution for live monitoring of the turbidity in the drinking water sources of municipalities.
