Metso Automation's kajaaniTS Provides Reliable Total Solids Measurement in the Wastewater Treatment Process.NORCROSS, Ga. -- kajaaniTS from Metso Automation, developed from third-generation microwave density transmitters, combines cost efficiency with the extreme accuracy associated with microwave technology to measure wastewater biosolids biosolids Sewage sludge, the residues remaining from the treatment of sewage. For use as a fertilizer in agricultural applications, biosolids must first be stabilized through processing, such as digestion or the addition of lime, to reduce concentrations of heavy metals and (sludge). Microwave technology has been used to measure density in process industries for well over a decade. By using microwave technology, the kajaaniTS transmitter meets the needs of wastewater treatment plants, with no compromises in accuracy. The kajaaniTS can be used on low to high solids measurement including primary sludge, dewatering Dewatering (dē′wöd·ər·iŋ) is the removal of water from solid material or soil by wet classification, centrifugation, filtration, or similar solid-liquid separation processes. , and dewatered cake applications. One wastewater reclamation facility in Michigan, treating 28 million gallons per day, half from industrial users, is using the kajaaniTS transmitter in an "activated sludge This article or section deals primarily with the United Kingdom and does not represent a worldwide view of the subject. Please [ improve this article] or discuss the issue on the talk page. " wastewater process. The facility has six primary settling tanks and seven secondary clarifiers as well as four belt filter presses for solids handling. Since adding the kajaaniTS transmitter to their primary sludge application they have benefited from pumping optimization. Benefits of Total Solids Measurement: --Lower polymer consumption --Fewer laboratory analysis --Reduced handling charges by controlling solid content --More efficient use of digesting --Pumping optimization in primary sludge When applied to the wastewater treatment process, microwave technology offers significant advantages over other types of total solids measurements. Advantages: --Single-point calibration --Maintenance-free --Ceramic sensors that resist product build-up Interface between the kajaaniTS transmitter and the plant control systems are ensured. kajaaniTS is available with mA+HART, Profibus PA or Foundation Fieldbus FOUNDATION fieldbus is an all-digital, serial, two-way communications system that serves as the base-level network in a plant or factory automation environment. Developed and administered by the Fieldbus Foundation. . DTM DTM dermatophyte test medium. descriptions provide connectivity with FDT-based configuration and operation monitoring systems.
