Product Details
What Is the Turbimax CUS71D?
The Turbimax CUS71D, by Endress+Hauser, is an ultrasonic interface sensor specifically developed for immersion and interface measurement in
applications like wastewater treatment and water purification
processes
Applications
Ideal uses include:
- Wastewater Treatment: Monitoring in primary clarifiers, sludge thickeners, and
secondary clarifiers
- Water Purification: Settling basins post-flocculant dosing, sludge height monitoring
in contact sludge process, filter media expansion/backwash timing
- Chemical & Industrial Separation: Static separation, process water recycling, product phase
separation, flotation monitoring
>>
Key Benefits
- Reliable & Continuous: Delivers accurate, real-time interface measurement for efficient
control of valves and actuators
- Safe & Intelligent: Stores calibration and sensor data internally (Memosens
technology), enabling easy swap-out and predictive maintenance
- Maintenance-Minimized: Optional wiper prevents film buildup; automatic cleaning supports
long-term, maintenance-free operation
- Flexible Installation: Compatible mounting hardware for various clarifier and basin
designs
- Simplified Commissioning: Comes with predefined calculation models, reducing setup
complexity
Measuring Principle & Sensor Monitoring
- Technology: A piezoelectric crystal in a cylindrical plastic housing emits
sonar at ~650–657 kHz and a 6° angle, scanning the separation
zones. It measures the echo return time to calculate interface
depth
- Signal Processing: Coupled with a Liquiline CM44x transmitter, it masks irrelevant
zones, selects signal edges, amplifies for floating sludge, and
tracks a "gate" region dynamically to capture the separation layer
precisely
- Diagnostics: Continuously monitors acoustic signals for plausibility; errors
like implausible readings or control disturbances are flagged via
the transmitter’s diagnostics
