Overview
The Hach TL23 Series laboratory turbidimeters blend trusted technology of the 2100N/AN and improved features to simplify testing in the most demanding industrial and wastewater applications. With their ratio technology, the TL23 lab turbidimeters are ideal for industrial and other samples with a wide range of turbidity. The TL23’s ratio technology helps to overcome the interference from large particles and color when measuring turbidity.
Four Types of Models
- TL2300 (EPA, up to 4,000 NTU)
- TL2310 (ISO, up to 1,000 NTU)
- TL2350 (EPA, up to 10,000 NTU)
- TL2360 (ISO, up to 10,000 NTU)
TL2300 and TL2350 Turbidimeters
The optical system is comprised of a tungsten-filament lamp, lenses and apertures to focus the light, a 90° detector, a forward-scatter light detector, a backscatter detector (TL2350 only) and a transmitted-light detector. The instrument permits turbidity measurements at less than 40 NTU to be performed using only the 90° scattered-light detector or from 4000 NTU (TL2300) to 10000 NTU (TL2350) using the complete set of detectors (Ratio Measurement). With the Ratio Measurement on, the instrument’s microprocessor uses a mathematical calculation to ratio signals from each detector.
TL2310 Turbidimeter
The optical system includes an 860 ±30 nm light emitting diode (LED) assembly and a 90° detector to monitor scattered light. The instrument measures turbidity up to 1000 FNU or NTU using the single 90° detector. The instrument does not utilize ratio measurements.
TL2360 Turbidimeter
The optical system includes an 860 ±30 nm light emitting diode (LED) assembly and a 90° detector to monitor scattered light, a forward-scatter light detector, a transmitted-light detector and a back-scatter light detector. The instrument measures turbidity up to 1000 units in FNU measurement mode using the ratio detectors. Attenuation measurements of up to 10000 FAU units can be made using a single transmitted detector. The instrument measures turbidity at less than 1000 NTU using only the 90° scattered-light detector or up to 10000 NTU using the complete set of detectors (ratio mode).

Data-Driven Decisions: Tracking Sediment during the Klamath Dam Removal
The largest dam removal in U.S. history, the deconstruction of the Klamath Dam is slated to begin this summer. The project includes four dams along the Klamath River with the first and smallest dam, Copco #2, scheduled for removal first. As each of the dams are torn down, scientists and consultants will keep a close eye on the state of the Klamath River downstream to assess the impact of undamming the river. 
 
Shawn Hinz, managing partner and environmental toxicologist with Gravity Consulting , has been involved with the Klamath Dam project for over a decade. Hinz was a part of these earlier steps, representing the academic stakeholder position as a graduate student sitting on a board of other stakeholders.

In regions with historically secure access to clean drinking water, few think about the work that goes into ensuring that the water they fill their cups with is safe. In reality, millions of dollars are invested in the infrastructure, equipment and teams involved in converting source water into drinking water. 
 
While all the work that goes into providing clean water often goes unnoticed, analysts like Michele Gilkerson, a water research analyst with the City of Columbus Division of Water, know exactly how much goes into securing safe water for millions of people. 
 
Gilkerson started with Battelle Memorial Institute in 1991 in their water ecology section. There, she saw how interesting source water monitoring could be, even though it isn’t often spotlighted in the environmental sector.
Read MoreChoosing the Right Water Quality Monitoring Systems Is Crucial for Stantec Inc.
Data is king when it comes to water quality monitoring. It is not merely the type of data being collected that matters but also how that data is stored, processed and presented. When Joseph Kamalesh, a project manager with Stantec Consulting Services Inc. , needs to find the right equipment for large client-based projects, he knows to keep these factors in mind. 
 
Joseph has a background in water quality and water flow monitoring instrumentation, which he continues to focus on at Stantec. During college and his early career, Joseph gained experience with water instrumentation, consisting primarily of on-site wastewater sampling and sampling small systems.
