SETTLOMETER
TECHSPECS
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The Raven Settlometer Kit is used to evaluate sludge settling characteristics.Use it with mixed liquor samples to determine the behavior of sludge in the secondary clarifier.
Also with aerobic digester samples to evaluate supernatants and separation periods for sludge wasting.
Crystal clear acrylic is durable and easy to clean.

WASTEWATER APPLICATION
"The results obtained from the settlometer and centrifuge tests can be combined and used to adjust proper return sludge flow to minimize clarifier sludge detention while maximizing clarifier sludge concentration. This type of operational information demonstrates the superiority of settlometer testing in comparison to simple use of SVI (sludge volume index)."Activated Sludge Manual of Practice OM-9 first edition page 171.
