Explore the Royce Aqua 22
Measure mixed liquor suspended solids and sludge blanket depth with one rugged handheld instrument. The Royce Aqua 22 gives wastewater operators fast, dependable tank-side readings for routine process control in aeration basins, secondary clarifiers, SBR systems and return activated sludge applications.
The lightweight grip design and thumb-reach controls make the Aqua 22 practical to operate during routine field checks. Its high-clarity display is designed for outdoor use in bright conditions, helping operators read MLSS concentrations and sludge interface depth clearly at the point of measurement.
Smart serialised sensors retain their own calibration data, allowing compatible sensors to be exchanged between handheld units without recalibrating the meter. Readings can also be stored across nine locations with date and time stamps, supporting more consistent monitoring and traceable wastewater process records.
