Product Overview
-
Digital turbidity sensor for the IDS system
-
Digital IDS turbidity measurement with a practical turbidity sensor for mobile applications in surface waters and process - the VisoTurb® 900-P
-
Convenient turbidity sensor for MultiLine® IDS for measurements on site
-
Easy 2 or 3 point calibration
-
Suitable for multi-parameter measurements
The VisoTurb® 900-P is a turbidity sensor that works with IR for mobile applications, where the turbidity value is to be determined directly in the sample. It is robust and reliable with an exclusive, corrosion-resistant titantium housing, waterproof up to 10 bar. Ist field of use is the measurement in surface waters, during pump tests, inspection of online measurements as well as in in-situ measurements in different applications. It works with all MultiLine® IDS portable meters and can be connected to AS/IDS-x cables of lengths of up to 100 m thanks to ist universal plug head. Additionally it can be used in laboratory applications with inoLab® Multi 9310 IDS, 9620 IDS und 9630 IDS. The use with IDS wireless modules is recommended.

Case Studies
Municipal Wastewater Treatment · WTW — Stock Configuration Case
Customer Profile
The typical setting in Municipal Wastewater Treatment is the inlet, biological and outlet stages of a municipal plant. The measuring point is WTW; the focus is covering online and laboratory water analysis with WTW instruments.
Key Difficulties
Conditions are high solids and corrosive fractions, with large diurnal flow swings and, on top of that, effluent parameters drift and probes foul with sludge and biofilm, which a standard configuration cannot handle for long. The design therefore starts with selected by parameter set, range and digital sensor protocol.
Implementation
The scope ran through the stock channel: configuring from stock and delivered quickly. Technically it hinges on selected by parameter set, range and digital sensor protocol, and on these requirements: stable compliance with Grade 1A discharge limits and online data reporting.
Customer Benefit
In practice this means plug-and-play digital sensors that keep calibration when swapped, which cut the workload on the site maintenance team.
Food & Beverage · WTW — Stock Configuration Case
Project Background
The project covers dosing, pasteurising, filling and CIP stages. The work centres on WTW and the core task is covering online and laboratory water analysis with WTW instruments.
Operating Challenges
The medium and duty are characterised by syrups, dairy and beverages that scale easily, under strict hygienic requirements, and frequent cleaning demands instruments that withstand hot CIP/SIP caustic cycles. So WTW cannot be specified generically — it calls for selected by parameter set, range and digital sensor protocol.
Solution
The Ainstru engineering team worked through the stock channel: configuring from stock and delivered quickly. The configuration involves selected by parameter set, range and digital sensor protocol, with these requirements in view: food-safety and hygienic design per 3-A / EHEDG.
Results
Since start-up the system has run steadily; the practical result is plug-and-play digital sensors that keep calibration when swapped.
Chemical & Pharmaceutical · WTW — Stock Configuration Case
Project Overview
The site is reactors, metering vessels and finished-product tanks. The customer wanted WTW properly configured on the existing plant, with the aim of covering online and laboratory water analysis with WTW instruments.
Technical Challenges
What actually causes trouble is highly corrosive media with solvents and crystallisation, partly in explosive atmospheres, and corrosion plus Ex protection shortens instrument life and makes downtime costly. All of this means the WTW configuration has to involve selected by parameter set, range and digital sensor protocol.
Configuration
Supply and installation were organised through the stock channel: configuring from stock and delivered quickly. On site this meant selected by parameter set, range and digital sensor protocol, checked line by line against: Ex certification and GMP traceability of records.
Performance
After commissioning the outcome is plug-and-play digital sensors that keep calibration when swapped, and the readings are now used for process tuning.
Power & Energy · WTW — Stock Configuration Case
Site Conditions
This is a Power & Energy customer whose plant is at boiler feedwater, turbine condensate and FGD/DeNOx systems. The main task was covering online and laboratory water analysis with WTW instruments.
The Problem
The difficulty lies in high temperature and pressure with both steam and saline water; at the same time drift under high temperature and pressure, with very costly unplanned outages. Specification therefore means selected by parameter set, range and digital sensor protocol.
What We Did
We took a stock channel approach — configuring from stock and delivered quickly. Delivery was built around selected by parameter set, range and digital sensor protocol, with point-by-point checks on: compliance with power-industry codes and unit availability targets.
Operating Outcome
In service the system performs as intended — plug-and-play digital sensors that keep calibration when swapped, with routine maintenance falling noticeably.
