Abstract
Experimental results are presented that demonstrate that ultrasonic attenuation can be used to estimate the biomass concentration of a biological suspension. The attenuation approach avoids the temperature sensitivity of established ultrasound velocity test methods, which have hindered their application in process environments. An empirical model is presented for the estimation of the biomass of Microcystis aeruginosa suspensions based on acoustic attenuation, temperature, and frequency, and is compared with experimental results. © 2014 Elsevier Ltd.
