Turbidity Analysis Simplified

The PTV 1000 is our all-new turbidity analyser for low-level turbidity measurement in drinking water and other applications.

Slider
The next generation

User developed system

To develop the PTV1000, a team was assembled comprising of the worlds best-known experts in turbidity measurement. They were tasked with creating a new turbidity analyser that addressed all of the technical issues customers struggle with. These advancements, along with the addition of state-of-the-art communications and user interface make the PTV 1000 the real new standard in turbidity analysis.

Non-contact stabilised formazin

More about T-Cal plus calibration solutions.

No longer is verification with a secondary standard the only option. T-CAL® Turbidity Standards are non-hazardous primary calibration standards which when used with the T-CALplus™ packaging allow stabilised formazin to be used for calibration, without exposing the user to the solution.   Simple to use, no waste and no spillage.

Safe for the user

The T-CALplus™ packaging is highly durable, which results in the user never coming into contact with the solution. Exposure to chemicals is immediately eliminated.

Easy to mix

For mixing start by squeezing and manipulating the packaging for around a minute to ensure it is accurately mixed, and it’s ready to use.

No Bubbles

Having Bubbles in your sample can be a significant interference in turbidity measurement. Our T-CALplus™ packaging is vacuum sealed, allowing users to mix a bubble free standard.

Interactive view

Discover how the use of T-CALplus™ Standards simplify the calibration and verification process.

If you’re happy using secondary solid standards for verification, no problem, they’re available too.

Smart interface

Rethink the controller

The PTV 1000 turbidity analyser has two ways for users to interact with the instrument. The user can use the local touch screen, or they can connect to the sensors using the AquaLXP™ App (iOS and Android).
A log of every reading, calibration, verification, cleaning or other maintenance performed over the lifetime of the sensor is registered on the instrument. Ideal for turbidity compliance reporting.

User friendly instructions

By incorporating procedures and technical pointers, all users have quick and easy access to everything they need at their fingertips.

Security

For security purposes, we employ the latest proximity sensors to allow the operator to work on the sensor. Combining this with the ability to password protect two layers of access, operators and supervisors can be assured of data integrity.

Generate data

Operators can extract vital data which can help identify trends faster by viewing or exporting the information for a selected period as a table or as a graph.

Minimal training

App based interface means operators find it easy to use and navigate. No more complicated menu structures!

AquaLXP™ at your fingertips

USER REVIEW

“We have installed 3 demonstration units and each installation was a breeze that delivered excellent data. You can immediately tell it is a better measurement than the older technology by the lower reading it provides. The patented light dump does an excellent job of eliminating stray light.”

Monitoring flow accelerated corrosion in combined cycle heat recovery steam generators using online turbidity

Flow accelerated corrosion has been demonstrated as one of the leading causes of corrosion in heat recovery steam generators. However, monitoring of the total iron in the boiler feedwater can be challenging with a lean operation given the low levels of total iron that are to be expected when flow accelerated corrosion is under control.

10 reasons turbidity measurement is challenging, and how an expert team tackled them

Turbidity can be a complex measurement to do, especially at the very low levels required in UK drinking water production. Measurement can be affected by the size and shape of the material scattering the light, the sample colour and then the distribution of the material in the sample.
