"Clear Measurements for Clear Insights." The HORIBA TB220 is a dedicated benchtop turbidity analyzer for precise measurement of water clarity. Ideal for drinking water treatment, wastewater monitoring, industrial process control, and environmental compliance testing, the TB220 delivers laboratory-grade accuracy with user-friendly operation and comprehensive data management capabilities.
The HORIBA TB220 is a specialized benchtop instrument dedicated to precise turbidity measurement. Turbidity — the cloudiness or haziness of water caused by suspended particles — is a critical water quality parameter. The TB220 employs advanced optical sensing technology to deliver accurate, repeatable turbidity measurements across a wide range, from crystal-clear water to highly turbid samples. Essential for water utilities, treatment plants, and industries where water clarity is paramount.
Monitor water clarity in treatment plants to ensure safe, clear drinking water. Essential for regulatory compliance (EPA, WHO standards).
Track clarification in treatment processes; ensure regulatory discharge limits are met.
Monitor cooling water, process water, and filtration systems in manufacturing and food/beverage operations.
Quality control testing for beer clarity, juice processing, and other beverages where appearance impacts product value.
Field and laboratory testing of surface water, groundwater, and wastewater for environmental impact assessment.
Laboratory studies on turbidity, particle sizing, and water clarity optimization.
