Applications

The NEP-5000 probes typical use includes applications such as:
1. Water quality
2. Food processing
3. Waste treatment
4. Environmental compliance for dredging operations
Which model is best used will be dependent on the application, the measuring environment, the logging
equipment and the monitoring period (deployment times) required.
Although advanced digital processing in the Analite NEP-5000 will effectively measure the true turbidity of
water when large particles are passing by the optical face, it is recommended to take steps to protect the
optical face from possible abrasive effects these particles may cause.
The Analite turbidity probes are not suitable in situations where they may be abraded by large particles
such as sand. Under these circumstances, the reading may become erratic due to the large particles
passing the optic sensor. Measuring turbidity under such potentially abrasive circumstances may require a
stilling well to allow the sand or other hard particles to settle away from the optic sensor in the probe tip.
