Optimize Sludge Treatment with Proline Teqwave MW 300/500

Optimizing processes is essential in sludge treatment to reduce costs and increase efficiency. The Proline Teqwave MW 300/500 from Endress+Hauser offers an effective way to achieve this through continuous in‑line measurement.

This instrument determines the total solids content of wastewater directly in wastewater treatment plants using microwave transmission. Compared to the time‑consuming process of laboratory analyses, the continuous availability of measurement values and short response times offer significant advantages. It enables operators to detect emerging issues at an early stage and implement process optimizations—from primary sludge to dewatered sludge.

Another advantage of in‑line measurement with the Teqwave MW 300/500 is that operators can react quickly to changes in total solids content. Unlike laboratory probes, which only provide results after some delay, continuous measurement allows timely process adjustments. This helps prevent premature process interruptions or excessive water being pumped into sludge treatment. As a result, pump performance is optimized and energy is saved.

In addition, the polished measuring tube helps reduce the buildup of solid particles, while Heartbeat Technology continuously monitors the device’s functional integrity. This allows calibration intervals to be extended and increases overall process availability. In short, the Proline Teqwave MW 300/500 offers a reliable and efficient solution for optimizing sludge treatment processes.
