The IL55 sensor provides reliable and repeatable, continuous in-line measurement of sludge density, suspended solids and turbidity. The sensor is installed through a mounting boss onto any pipeline that is larger than 65mm diameter. The sensing element is positioned flush with the inside wall of the pipe ensuring that the optical surface is kept clean by the flow passing the sensor and that the sensor does not cause an obstruction to the flow.

The sensor is suitable for a variety of sludge density applications including the auto desludging of primary and final settlement tanks, where reliable density measurement ensures that down stream treatment processes can operate at their optimum level.

When detecting turbidity the sensor can give immediate warning of a filter failure or of contamination of a process by suspended particles.

Partech recommend the IL55BV2 sensor when it is likely that the sensor will need to be removed from the process without de pressurising and draining the line. The ball valve mechanism will allow the sensor to be withdrawn quickly and safely. In applications that demand a higher pressure rating the IL55 sensor is recommended.

The sensor is to be used with a Partech monitor, the 8100, 8200, 7100 or 7200 products are all compatible.
