Turbidity Measurement Principles

TURBIDITY MEASUREMENT

The measured Turbidity of determined sample, is the reading referred by light

dispersed and absorption that goes thru the sample.

Turbidity does not mean suspended solids measurement, but a effect determination

of light refracted through solids.

Turbidity measurements are used to evaluate the quantity of water sample. To

understand turbidity it is helpful to think about the characteristics of mixtures.

A mixture is defined as Homogenous or Monophasic, when the components of the mixture are uniformly dispersed, or dissolved, throughout the mixture, Salt water is an example of a homogenous mixture or Solution. Heterogenous or Polyphasic mixtures are those whose components are not well distributed throughout the mixture. The components may simple be floating in the mixture, given enough time these components will settle out. This type of mixture is also called Suspension.

The clarity of a water sample is directly related to the amount of material suspended in the water. Turbidity measurements are a way to measure the amount of material suspended in a water sample. They are commonly used to monitor the effectiveness of filtration processes.

The OMEGA Turbidity meter uses the principle of Nephelometry. As light of a known intensity is passed through a sample some of the light will be scattered by particles in the sample. A detector is placed at 90° to the sample to collect the scattered light. The intensity of the scattered light is compared to that of the source. This value is reported as a Nephelometric Turbidity Unit, or NTU. The meter is calibrated with Formazine standards of a known NTU.

Water can sometimes have color of its own (from humic sources, for example). This color may interfere with the light source, absorbing some of the light, and reducing the amount of light reaching the detector. This can cause the measurement to be skewed. The OMEGA Turbidity Meter LED light source emits at a range close to infrared. In this range absorption is minimized, and turbidity measurements are more accurate.

Light Emitting near “ IR”

Reflected Light @ 90°

Detector

As detection involves the difference between the light reaching the vial and transmitted by the sample placed at the cuvette, it is convenient to minimize the effects that diminish the light intensity transmitted, among those the most important, it is the absorption caused by the samples color.

Because of this it is essential to work in a light wavelenght where absorption would be minimum (close to infrared), if we work in a electromagnetic spectrum visible region, this color interference would certainly alter the results.

In order to quantify the turbidity, we can use many comparison standards, being NTU (Nephelometric Turbidity Unit) scale the most common, patronized from formazine standard suspensions. This way we would have a comparison standard scale between different materials, in a way we can evaluate turbidity with precision.

Equipment Installation

Follow rigorously below instructions:

1- Remove the equipment from its box and verify for any possible damages, caused by the transportation. 2- Install the controller in a strategic place, of ease access and operation, free of vibrations and vapors. 3- Avoid direct exposure of the controller to solar rays and in case if necessary, protect the controller. 4- Proceed with terminal connections of cables at terminal barr. 5- Inspect the electrical installation in order to certify that all connections are correct. 6- Verify the power that is being supplied and make sure to connect it the proper place. 7- Connect the circuit breakers from the power distribution box.

LENS CLEANING OF SENSOR UNIT

Remove the Sensor/Turbidity Detector (5) by turning it clockwise (45degrees) and pull it up. Using a

soft sponge and neutral soap, wash the Led and the photocell Lenses. After this, dry it using a soft

BUBBLE TRAPPER CLEANING

Clean the Bubble Trapper. Remove the locking ring, then un-thread the Drainage Lid, so the sample can be drained from the instrument. Wash it using neutral soap and dry it using a soft absorbent paper, a type that will not leave residues. Make sure to look for areas where residues can accumulate (shown below picture). Remove the Bubble trapper as shown below and after cleaning make sure to put it back in place!

The ID is configured at the instrument from 1 to 32.

Answer:

L > > V V V V V V N T U C C C C C C m A

Example of answer for an un-stable value (for low turbidity 0 – 10NTU)

L > 0.001 N T U 1 2 . 0 0 m A

Example of answer for a stable value (for low turbidity 0 – 10NTU)

L > > 0.001 N T U 1 2 . 0 0 m A

Note: a) When the answer comes a C instead of a L, it means that the equipment is under calibration function (is being operated in location by the user, executing the calibration operation at the instrument). b) When the answer comes an S instead of a L, it means that the equipment is under Set Up function and it is being operated in location by the user.

2) RS485 – It is a “physical location”, where the proprietary protocol will be “transported”.

As factory default, this communication comes configured as:

Speed = 9600 Parity = none Number of Bits = 8 Stop Bit = 1 ID = 1
