Turbidity Meter
The instrument was designed by the SMRI. It is an online photometer which measures the absorbance of light by the sugar solution at 880 nanometres. The measurement at this wavelength is independent of colour, thus giving a reading which is only dependent on turbidity.
The zero is checked automatically by passing clean water through the measuring cell and updating the reference light level hourly. This also compensates for any cell fouling. The instrument was designed to measure the turbidity of clear juice to check on the performance of the clarifier.
It has also been used to monitor the filtrate from Dorr Oliver Filters enabling them to be operated at optimum efficiency and also on a syrup clarifier.
