Measuring suspended particle concentration to assess water quality and treatment performance.
A TSS sensor measures the concentration of suspended solids present in a liquid, typically expressed in mg/L. These solids include organic matter, inorganic particles, sediments, and microorganisms that affect water clarity, treatment efficiency, and environmental compliance.
TSS sensors operate by measuring the scattering or attenuation of light caused by suspended particles in a liquid. The amount of light detected is proportional to the concentration of suspended solids.
The measured value directly represents the concentration of suspended solids in a liquid.
TSS trends indirectly indicate sediment load, treatment efficiency, sludge concentration, erosion impact, and potential discharge violations.
With Industrial IoT integration, TSS sensors enable continuous monitoring of solids load, automated treatment control, early detection of abnormal discharge, and compliance-ready environmental reporting.
The TSS Sensor makes particulate pollution visible. By quantifying suspended matter, it supports effective treatment, regulatory compliance, and responsible water resource management.
