The Laser Advantage

Precise filtration monitoring is the backbone of water quality assurance, yet traditional turbidimeters often struggle to detect the earliest signs of filter fatigue. While standard equipment typically identifies particles down to 1.0-µm , laser-based technology offers a significant leap in sensitivity, detecting particles as small as 0.01-µm. This resolution allows for the identification of microscopic breaches, such as pinholes, long before they escalate into major failures.

A key advantage lies in the analysis of signal fluctuation, or Relative Standard Deviation (RSD). Stable filtration typically maintains an RSD below 1%, while values exceeding this threshold serve as an early warning of particle leakage. Because laser turbidimeters utilize a highly concentrated, small-volume beam, even a single particle creates a distinct spike in the measurement signal. This high-fidelity data empowers operators to optimize filter run times and improve effluent accuracy. Explore the full white paper to see how advanced optics redefine process stability.
