Hey there, is there any possibility to measure the separation efficiency of a DAF online beside measuring the TSS/suspended solids?

30 August 2016 1 2K Report

We try to control the load of a DAF depending on the effluent quality (Turbidity/TSS). Unfortunately the DAF is in an Ex-Zone, so most of the TSS sensors do not fit.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Arne, that is simple, measure the COD level before and after.

Good luck,
