Customer Review
The online monitoring technology provided by Kurita to control coagulant of the waste water treatment has achieved the following goals:
1) Direct savings by coagulant consumptions reduction about 30.000€/y.
2) Effluent parameters limits fulfilling regulation
3) Trustable equipment that allows an automatization of the plant, reducing time and attention by operators
In addition, since manual control is no longer necessary, manpower needed for system operation at the wastewater treatment facilities has been shortened, while the sludge water content has decreased, resulting in smoother dehydration and incineration processes.

S.sensing CS - Expert Q&A
S.sensing CS is a real-time wastewater monitoring and dosing control system that optimizes coagulant dosing based on in-situ floc formation measurement.
It addresses fluctuating wastewater conditions by automatically adjusting coagulant dosage in real time to maintian stable treated water quality.
S.sensing CS uses laser-based technology to continuously measure floc formation and turbidity directly in the wastewater process.
Unlike traditional turbidity sensors placed after sedimentation, S.sensing CS measures floc formation in real-time before sedimentation, enabling faster correction.
The sensor installed at the floc formation point, typically at the outlet of the flocculation tank, submerged below the water surface.
Yes. S.sensing CS operates fully online and adjusts coagulant dosing automatically without delay.
The system primarily control inorganic coagulant dosing based on real-time turbidity and floc sizes measurements.
Yes. Case studies show coagulant reductions of 20-50% depending on application and wastewater characteristics.
Yes. Optimized dosing leads to significant sludge reduction, lowering disposal and transport costs.
Yes. The system ensures stable treated water quality and continuous compliance with regulatory turbidity limits.
Yes. It is designed specifically to manage process fluctuations caused by production changes, seasonal variation, or upstream disturbances.
Yes. S.sensing CS can be applied in dissolved air flotation systems and has demonstrated improved removal of oils, fats, and grease.
S.sensing CS is used in petrochemical, paper, automotive, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, metal, electronics, cement, and glass industries.
Yes. It fully automates coagulant dosing, reducing manual intervention and operator workload.
The sensor features automatic self-cleaning using compressed air or inert gas, with adjustable cleaning frequency.
S.sensing CS provides a standard 4–20 mA output signal compatible with automated dosing pumps.
Yes. It can connect to existing dosing pumps, or Kurita can supply compatible pumping equipment if needed.
Yes. Savings are achieved through reduced chemical usage, lower sludge disposal, decreased manpower, and stable operation.
The system setup is supported by lab jar tests to define target turbidity values and optimal dosing ranges.
