The SS400 MLSS analyzer is a measuring system best suited to continuously and consistently measure the concentration of mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) in an activated-sludge treatment process found in sewage or industrial wastewater treatment facilities.
The SS400G MLSS converter has a measuring range as wide as 500-20000 mg/l (ppm). Microprocessor-based, it has a wealth of self-diagnostic functions and alarm contact outputs like other converters in the EXA series, as well as excellent operability.
The SS300G MLSS sensor uses a measuring method that compares transmitted light with scattered light. The sensor is designed with due care to the arrangement of the optical system. These design features enable measurement of even low concentrations, making the sensor less susceptible to disturbing light. The optional jet cleaning unit permits continuous and consistent measurement even in an application where the sensor is exposed to contaminants.
A self-cleaning floating holder is available in addition to free-standing and immersion models, offering a wide range of choices according to the application needs.

Resources
In a batch tank, analyzers such as dissolved oxygen (DO) analyzers, oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) meters, and mixed liquor suspended solid (MLSS) analyzers are used. To reduce the maintenance frequency, measures must be taken to prevent dirt accumulation on the sensor. As the liquid level in a tank can vary greatly, great care should be taken when selecting the sensor installation position in a tank.
