New measurement method of Sludge Total Solids Content at Stockholm Vatten och Avfall

An important part of the process in sewage works is the ability to measure the sludge total solids content order to concentrate and separate the sludge and to avoid pumping unnecessarily large amounts of water around, because this steals capacity and consumes electricity. When Henriksdal's sewage works had to change to a new sludge total solids content meter, they chose Valmet TS from Endress+Hauser. This is a microwave-based inline meter in the form of a pipe section that is installed in series with the pump and, among other things, results in easier handling as it does not react to color changes or deposits to the same extent as other methods.
