This is a simple description. For detailed explanations see articles: Laser Diffraction-101 and -201. Particle Size Distribution (PSD) is a multi-parameter description of how the total concentration of particles is distributed into many size fractions....
Sequoia’s LISST-Infinite and LISST-Hydro products generate data on sediment concentrations in water entering turbines. However, there has been no guidance for plan operators on what levels are dangerous, or at what level the operator should shut down...
Last updated: 11 May 2016 Turbidity as a surrogate for suspended sediment concentration (SSC) is commonly used and deeply established in practice. The shortcomings of turbidity as a surrogate for SSC are: The calibration changes with grain size; The...
LISST-Infinite installed next to a draft tube. Sequoia’s LISST-Infinite instrument is made to protect turbines by sounding alarms so that plant operators may decide to shut down power production and save turbines from abrasive damage. The...
