Settleometer Kit (SV30 / SSV) for Activated Sludge – Canada

The Settleometer Kit is a fast, operator-friendly tool for measuring SV30 settling performance and Settled Sludge Volume (SSV) in activated sludge systems. It helps wastewater operators quickly see how solids separate from liquid over time—supporting better day-to-day control of secondary clarifiers, solids inventory, and overall biological performance.

Dual-scale readings (SSV + %)
Large, easy-to-read markings show SSV from 0–1000 mL and 0–100% settled volume, making it simple to record SV30 results consistently across shifts. A snap-on lid reduces splashing during transport from the aeration basin to the lab or control room.

Why operators use it

• Spot rapid vs normal vs slow settling before it becomes a clarifier loss event

• Support process decisions (RAS/WAS adjustments, settleability troubleshooting)

• Compare settling behaviour over time or between basins (including dilution comparisons where applicable)

How to run an SV30 settle test (quick)

1. Fill to 1000 mL with well-mixed sample

2. Start timer; let settle 30 minutes

3. Record SV30 as SSV (mL) and/or %

Features

• Clearly measures settled sludge volume (SSV) and percent settled volume

• Dual-scale markings from 0–100% and 0–1000 SSV for quick interpretation

• Helps evaluate sludge settling characteristics in secondary clarifiers

• Supports process control decisions, including return sludge flow rate calculations

• Useful for identifying rapid, normal, or slow settling sludge

• Enables multi-dilution testing to distinguish density vs. concentration issues

• Snap-on lid reduces splashing during sample transport

• Simple, durable design suitable for routine wastewater plant use
  
  
  

  FAQ

  1. What is SV30 / SSV?
     SV30 is the settled sludge volume after 30 minutes. SSV is the settled volume reading (commonly recorded in mL at 30 minutes).

  2. Why does the Settleometer show both % and SSV (mL)?
     The dual scale lets you record results in either format for easier trending and communication across operators.

  3. Where do I sample from?
     Most plants use a well-mixed sample from the aeration basin mixed liquor (or wherever your SV30 SOP specifies).

  4. Do I only read it at 30 minutes?
     SV30 is standard, but many operators also take 5-minute readings early on to see settling behaviour (a settling curve).

  5. Is this the Raven C-10102 Settleometer kit?
     Your SKU shows C-10102—call out the manufacturer/brand explicitly on the page if it’s Raven to capture brand searches.

  6. Can this help diagnose clarifier issues?
     Yes—settling behaviour trends are commonly used to flag developing settleability and solids separation problems before they show up as carryover.
