How a TSS Sensor Works (Total Suspended Solids)

A Total Suspended Solids (TSS) sensor measures the concentration of solid particles suspended in water. These particles can include organic matter, sediments, algae, bacteria, and other microscopic debris that do not dissolve but remain suspended in the liquid.

TSS monitoring is widely used in wastewater treatment, aquaculture, industrial process water, environmental monitoring, and irrigation systems, because suspended solids strongly affect water clarity, biological processes, and filtration performance.
