TurbiScat – Inline turbidity measurement adapted to your process conditions

When turbidity is a key parameter in your process, the measurement approach needs to match both your application and your operating environment.

TurbiScat is designed to give you reliable inline turbidity measurement – whether you are working in brewery applications or in industrial processes with demanding or hazardous conditions.

Measure turbidity in real time – and respond when it changes

Turbidity often reflects critical changes in your process, such as filtration performance, phase transitions, or product quality.

Without stable inline measurement, these changes can be difficult to detect in time.

With TurbiScat, you can continuously monitor turbidity using a dual-angle measurement principle, allowing you to detect even subtle variations and respond before they impact your process.

Dual-angle measurement for deeper process insight

TurbiScat measures turbidity using both 90° and 25° scattered light, giving you more detailed information than single-angle measurement.

This is particularly useful in processes where particle size, concentration, or composition varies.

In practice, this means you gain a more nuanced understanding of your process – not just a single turbidity value, but insight into how and why it changes.

Two configurations – adapted to different operating environments

TurbiScat is available in configurations designed for different types of applications. This allows you to select the right solution based on your process requirements.

For brewery and beverage applications

In brewery processes, turbidity is closely linked to product quality and filtration performance.

With TurbiScat (PM 40), you can:

Monitor filtration and detect breakthrough early
Measure turbidity during key process steps such as whirlpool and separation
Combine turbidity and color measurement (430 nm) for better quality control
Ensure consistent product clarity across batches

This gives you better control of both process performance and final product quality.

For industrial and hazardous environments (Ex)

In industrial applications, measurement conditions are often more demanding, and safety requirements may be critical.

With TurbiScat 2 Ex, you can:

Measure turbidity in ATEX and IECEx certified environments
Monitor processes with suspended solids or varying compositions
Operate reliably under harsh process conditions
Integrate measurement into systems where safety compliance is required

This allows you to maintain measurement reliability – even in complex or regulated environments.

Compare TurbiScat configurations – based on your application

The measurement principle is the same across TurbiScat solutions. The difference lies in how the instrument is adapted to your process conditions and requirements.

	TurbiScat (PM 40) – Brewery & Beverage	TurbiScat 2 Ex – Industrial & Hazardous Areas
Typical application	Breweries and beverage production	Industrial processes and Ex environments
Focus	Product quality and filtration control	Process monitoring under demanding conditions
Measurement principle	Dual-angle (90° / 25°)	Dual-angle (90° / 25°)
Color measurement	Available (430 nm)	Optional (430 nm)
Process conditions	Hygienic and controlled environments	Harsh, variable, or safety-critical environments
Certifications	Standard industrial approvals	ATEX, IECEx
Typical use cases	Filtration monitoring, whirlpool, separation	Suspended solids, process monitoring, compliance
Integration	Standard process integration	Integration in regulated / safety-critical systems

Choosing the right TurbiScat solution for your process

The choice between configurations depends on your application:

If your focus is product quality and filtration control, the brewery-oriented solution is typically the right fit
If your process involves hazardous areas or demanding industrial conditions, an Ex-certified solution is required

In both cases, the measurement principle remains the same – but the design and approvals are adapted to your environment.

What reliable turbidity measurement means for your operation

With the right TurbiScat configuration, you gain:

Better process understanding through dual-angle measurement
Improved product quality by maintaining stable turbidity levels
Earlier detection of deviations in filtration and separation
Reliable operation in demanding environments
Flexible integration into your existing control system
