THA Turbidity Haze Analyzer

---

Ideal for turbidity or haze detection at pipeline terminals, refineries, airports, and more, the KAM THA Turbidity Haze Analyzer alerts operators to the presence of water or particulate contamination in all refined fuels and helps them to determine the source of contamination. The THA is based on the KAM CHA’s proven turbidity detection technology, already in operation throughout the United States, Asia and Europe.

Real-time turbidity / haze data can be used for ongoing quality control in all refined fuels including diesel, jet fuel, and gasoline.  This data provides pipeline operators with the intelligence required to monitor fuels at both receiving and delivery terminals reject non-comforming batches and assists multiple parties in determining the location and/or responsibility of water contamination. In addition, the THA provides refineries quality control data prior to distribution and allows refiners to monitor and optimize the performance of filters, coalescers and separators.

Like all KAM instruments, the THA is easily installed either by inserting directly into the pipe, or in an analyzer loop. It can be installed without having to ever drain the pipe and output is a basic 4-20 mA. With no moving parts and long-lasting LED’s, the THA is designed for minimal power usage, minimal maintenance and long life.

HOW IT WORKS The THA Turbidity / Haze Analyzer uses the same technology as the KAM CHA, already in use in pipelines throughout Europe, the US, and Asia. A single LED signal operating in the IR spectrum measures the absorption of light by the fluid and uses this to determine the turbidity of the fluid.

KEY ADVANTAGES Proven technology Does not require calibration Inserts into the pipeline without having to drain the pipe No moving parts Long-lasting LED with minimal power consumption

APPLICATIONS Turbidity detection at pipeline terminals – receiving and delivery Refinery quality control prior to distribution Refinery process monitoring Jet fuel dedicated pipeline monitoring Jet fuel multi-product pipeline monitoring Jet fuel filter monitoring Jet fuel distribution monitoring, including truck, tank wagon, and hydrant systems
