Particle Detection Technology
Traditional Turbidity Monitors utilize a “light
scattering” measurement
Particle Counters & Particle Monitors utilize a
“light blockage” measurement

Particle Detection Technology
Particle Counter
Detect particles > 2 µm
Reports results in particles/ml for up to 8 size ranges

Particle Detection Technology
Particle Monitor
Single channel device, producing a “relative”
measurement called a Particle Index (PI)
The PI will increase with both an increase in particle size
and concentration

Particle Detection Technology
On-line Continuous Particle Detection
Allows for seeing extremely low levels of insoluble
particle contamination
Real-time results
Complements other measurements (pH, conductivity,
DO, sodium, etc.)
Limitations
- Cannot see particles <2 µm
- Cannot differentiate between types of particles
- Bubbles cause interference because they are detected as
particles

Conclusions
On-line Particle Monitoring:
provides real-time indication of insoluble CPT particulate
loading
allows for continuous data collection & trending
Events or upsets can be detected very quickly
Pretreatment filter performance can be significantly improved using the proper tools and techniques
Savings can be realized in energy costs, membrane cleaning costs, and in cartridge filter replacement costs.
Upstream and downstream monitoring across the condensate polishers would offer additional comparative data
