Raven Activated Sludge Process Settleometer Kit – Diagnose and Control Sludge Behavior with PrecisionGain better insight into your secondary clarifier performance with the Raven Activated Sludge Process Settleometer Kit, a trusted and essential tool for monitoring and optimizing the activated sludge process in wastewater treatment plants. This all-in-one kit enables operators to quickly assess the settling characteristics of mixed liquor, observe sludge blanket behavior, and determine whether settling problems stem from density or concentration issues. With its easy-to-read, dual-scale design (0–100% and 0–1000 mL SSV), the Settleometer provides critical data to inform operational adjustments, troubleshoot poor settling, and reduce solids loss in final effluent. It's also key in detecting denitrification timing, helping prevent sludge rising events. The clear plastic container, included mixing paddle, and snap-on lid make this kit easy to use, clean, and transport from the aeration basin to the lab or control room.Operators can use the Settleometer to identify key sludge settling types: Normal sludge forms a floc that slowly compacts, gently squeezing water out of the blanket. It typically settles between 800 and 700 mL in five minutes. Rapid sludge behaves more like heavy particles, settling quickly (700 mL or less in five minutes) and leaving a turbid supernatant with suspended solids. Slow sludge struggles to settle, showing little change in five minutes but often leaving a clear supernatant. It may result from high sludge density or excessive concentrations. Whether you're working with rapid, normal, or slow-settling sludge, the Settleometer gives you the visibility and metrics needed to maintain system efficiency and ensure regulatory compliance.Key Features: See It, Measure It, Fix It Accurate Settling AssessmentObserve and differentiate between normal, rapid, and slow settling sludge in real-time for improved process control. Dual-Scale CalibrationLarge, bold markings from 0–100% and 0–1000 mL SSV offer quick, intuitive readings of settled sludge volume. Includes Everything You NeedComes complete with a clear plastic Settleometer, mixing paddle, snap-on lid, and instructions for quick setup and reliable use. Supports Multi-Dilution TestingUse with a second unit to differentiate between density and concentration issues impacting sludge settleability. Essential Process Control ToolHelps calculate return sludge flow rates and identify when denitrification begins, giving operators a clearer view of biological performance. Compact & Portable DesignSnap-on lid minimizes spillage, making it easy to transport between treatment zones or from the field to the lab.
