Turbidity in Aquaculture, Agriculture & Hydroponics

Turbidity in Aquaculture, Agriculture & Hydroponics

Turbidity monitoring is vital in aquaculture, agriculture, and hydroponic systems to ensure healthy water conditions, prevent system fouling, and optimize crop and livestock performance. Elevated turbidity can reduce light penetration, disrupt oxygen levels, and indicate harmful waste buildup in water-based environments.

AlpHa’s TU90 turbidity sensor features a rugged optical system designed with the following features:

  • Precision 90° laser-based scattering method compliant with ISO 7027
  • Wide NTU range options (0 – 100, 0 – 1500, and 0 – 5000 NTU)
  • Industry-leading low-range accuracy with ± 1% error in the 0 – 100 NTU range
  • Built-in temperature compensation
  • Custom OEM sonde and stand-alone configurations including optional programmable wiper

  • Range: 0 – 100 NTU
    • Linearity: ~0.999
    • Resolution: 0.001 ~ 0.1 NTU
