Discuss your measurementsWhat the signal can tell you
Changes in incoming loading need to be understood in the context of the primary process and the treatment stages that follow it.

Compass CEP supports a site-specific coagulant-demand prediction ahead of primary clarification.
Agree the evidence
Agree the solids or optical signal, sample point, reference evidence and primary-effluent or downstream-loading objective.
The measurement arrangement and control objective are agreed for the works. Performance is assessed against site evidence.
Connect the incoming load to primary clarification.
A solids record is useful when it is tied to a defined point in the process and a reliable reference method. For a CEP review, incoming variation should be considered with primary-effluent evidence and the duty expected of the downstream process. A single solids reading cannot describe the whole pre-treatment requirement.
Are turbidity and suspended solids interchangeable?
No universal conversion should be assumed. The relationship between an optical signal and a reference solids result needs evidence for the application.
