Effective Sludge Management: Sonatax Sc

The self-cleaning SONATAX sc probe determines the sludge level in fluids
with a solids content in the range from very low (clear) to very high. Available from HACH LANGE, the continuous non-contact measurement method is based on the distance travelled by an ultrasonic signal, allowing for the influence of temperature.
A seasonally dependent recalibration is not necessary.
To ensure the greatest possible accuracy at all times, the probe adjusts its sensitivity to match the varying solids concentrations and sludge profiles in the settlement tank. The probe is factory calibrated for long-term calibration stability.

In the primary treatment, thickener and clarifier stages, SONATAX sc helps to optimise primary sludge removal, control settling behaviour, set the returned active sludge and -most importantly- reduce the risk of sludge loss.

SONATAX sc detects operational malfunctions and helps to prevent costly
violations of threshold values. With a measuring range down to a tank
depth of 12 metres, SONATAX sc is also suitable for use in SBR reactors
and for special industrial applications.
SONATAX sc has an automatic cleaning system which makes use of a
magnetically connected wiper. The wiper functions without a shaft and can be replaced in a few easy steps without opening the probe housing.
The instrument therefore requires virtually no maintenance.

The digital SONATAX sc can be combined with up to seven additional
sensors through the SC controller. The SC1000, with its large touchscreen, graphics function, enhanced data options and telemonitoring (GSM), offers numerous benefits.
