Turbidity Monitoring for a Food Manufacturing Facility in Pakistan

Project Overview

A food manufacturing facility in Pakistan required continuous turbidity monitoring for its wastewater treatment process.

Manual sampling increased the operators’ workload and made it difficult to respond quickly to water quality changes. The new system needed to provide stable online measurement and support compliance with discharge requirements.

Application Challenges

The main challenges included:

• Labor-intensive manual sampling
• Unstable monitoring performance
• Delayed response to water quality changes
• Humid operating conditions
• Strict wastewater discharge requirements

Solution Provided

A Supmea PTU300 flow-through turbidity meter was installed for continuous monitoring at the wastewater outlet.

The selected configuration provides a 0–20 NTU measurement range, 4–20 mA and RS485 outputs, a 24 VDC power supply, and an IP54 enclosure.

Supmea and the local distributor also provided installation guidance and commissioning support.

Results and Benefits

According to the project records and customer feedback, the solution achieved:

• Reported measurement accuracy of ±0.01
• 30% faster response to water quality changes
• 18% reduction in chemical consumption
• 12% reduction in operation and maintenance costs
• Manual inspection frequency reduced from daily to weekly

Supmea instrumentation, available through BayMeters, provides continuous turbidity monitoring for wastewater applications requiring stable measurement and timely process data.
