COMPLEX FOR MONITORING OF SEWAGE OPTICAL DENSITY CHANGES by V. A. Alekseev, V. P. Usoltcev, S. I. Yuran, D. N. Shulmin

“…The analysis of absorption spectra of water and vegetable oil showed that as a source of radiation it is expedient to use lasers with lengths of waves in the range of 0,4–0,5 μm which have the minimum absorption of radiation in the water environment and the considerable absorption in the environment of impurity, for example, the violet STLL-MM-405-200-52-A laser with wavelength of 0,405 μm and 200 mW. As the photo-sensor element, it is possible to use, for example, the PDV-V400-46 photodiode.Results of an experiment of a research of optical density of the liquid environment containing clots from vegetable oil are given. …”
