Profile: Triton Electronics Ltd. manufactures a range of instruments for use in determining filter ability, thicken ability and characteristics of sludges. Our capillary suction time is used as a quick and reliable method for characterizing sludge filter ability and condition ability. It is sludge filter ability that, predominantly, governs the output of nearly all the various types of dewatering equipment including drying beds, belt press, vacuum filters, filter presses and centrifuges. Our SSVI equipment is used to determine the settling properties of an activated sludge. It is a simple test that is easy and quick to perform, and yet provides considerable information about the sludge settlement characteristics.
