Dry Solids (%DS) in sludge cake
Dry Solids measurement for Dry Cake, measuring sludge cake density in concentrations from 10 - 40 %DS. There are inline sensors available, and sensors with a sample-grabbing device.

Get in touch if you want to partner with us on measuring your dry cake using the OLPAS ultrasound measurement technology.
Measuring sludge cake moisture content in wastewater treatment plants is a challenging task.
This is due to the fact that sludge cake is often not compacted and is discharged from the dewatering installation with sludge conveyors and screws. Existing inline measurements, such as microwave-based density measurements, often fail to accurately determine sludge density due to the granular nature of sludge cake and the presence of large air pockets.
The Olpas ultrasound technology provides a fouling-resistant measurement of the sludge dry solids content, independent of sludge type or morphology.

OTE-SEDA
Water monitoring: Suspended Sediment Concentration (SSC)
Olpas SSC sensors use a novel proprietary 3-8 Mhz Accoustic Backscattering measurement technology for an exceptional wide coverage of particle sizes for its concentration measurement. The sensors are pre-calibrated, drift-resistant and require very few maintenance.
OTD-SDPB
TSS in dewatering centrate (with centrate pump and flowcell)
An easy to install end-to-end measurement solution with limited impact of air-bubbles and exceptional fouling resistance thanks to ultrasound measurement technology. For measuring TSS in concentrations from 0 - 2.000 mg/L.
The device consists of a sample grabber (centrate pump) and flow-cell.
OTD-SDPC
Residual Polymers in dewatering centrate (with centrate pump and flowcell)
An easy to install end-to-end measurement solution with limited impact of air-bubbles and exceptional fouling resistance thanks to ultrasound measurement technology. For measuring polymer concentrations.
The device consists of a sample grabber (centrate pump) and flow-cell.
OTD-SDWE
Sludge Cake Concentration - Grabbing Solution and Sensor
The Olpas sludge concentration measurement system consists of a dataprocessor and ultrasound transducer, with a sample grabber. The system is capable of measuring sludge in concentrations from 0 - 40 %DS.
The Olpas ultrasound technology provides a fouling-resistant measurement of the sludge concentration, independent of sludge type or morphology.
