In order to analyze the performance of the thickener/ clarifier, CANTY provides a direct inline color, turbidity and percent solids analyzer, to analyze the fluid discharged from the clarification process, in order to determine if it is within specification. Combining CANTY’s imaging, fused glass and lighting technologies, the color of the liquid can be analyzed on a number of color scales (YUV, RGB, Lab), which can be taken as a direct measurement, or related to a specific NTU or FTU turbidity value. The image analysis software has the ability to filter out any air bubbles from the analysis, meaning only a true color / turbidity measurement is performed on the fluid. For immediate detection of any problems within the clarifier, CANTY supplies an immersion turbidity / color and percent solids analyzer that can be mounted at various immersion depths to monitor the fluid.
