Sewers and Overflows
Tracking TSS (Total Suspended Solids) is crucial for gaining valuable insights into water quality evolution. Additionally, it serves as an alarm system for breakthroughs or overflows.
The durable Olpas Tentacle sensors are versatile, capable of installation in open water, rivers, or in challenging environments such as sewers and overflows.
Designed for remote monitoring, Olpas Tentacle Sensors use less energy, are accurate and resistant to fouling.
Each measurement takes just seconds (warm-up + measurements) before the sensor enters sleep mode again, minimizing power usage. Combined with extended unmatched maintenance intervals and low drift-tendency, these sensors provide the most practical and cost-effective solution for reliable, long-term remote monitoring.
"The impressive fouling resistance of the OLPAS Technology, makes the Olpas Tentacle sensors the ideal solution to measure TSS in sewers and urban waste water: the sensor requires significantly less maintenance and it has by far the lowest tendency to drift compared to our whole install base of TSS and Turbidity sensors."
Key features
Much less drift, compared to traditional sensors, even with a much longer maintenance interval
Operates in direct sunlight
Not influenced by colour changes of the fluid
A direct TSS-measurement, not measuring optical parameters
IoT-ready
IoT-ready, with digital output optimised for energy efficient data communication
Low energy usage
Easy to connect to an external powersupply (batteries or solar)
Olpas TSS sensors are suitable for measurements in
Sewers, Sewer overflows and CSO spills (stormwater)
Influent of WWTPs (Waste Water Treatment Plants)
Open waters, canals and natural rivers
Other measurements available:
Next to TSS-measurement in challenging environments, Olpas also offers TSS measurements in WWTP-effluent (low concentrations), in various WWTP-applications, and in bulk water and lakes.
