A wastewater treatment plant has many areas of operation where level and flow measurement is critical and Vega has a specialised sensor for each application.
The VegaPuls WL61 is part of the radar range of sensors and is ideal for all applications in the water and sewage water sector. It is particularly suitable for level measurement in water treatment, pumping stations and combined sewer overflow, as well as for flow measurement in open channels and open water river level monitoring.
Sludge receiving station
One of the many applications for the VegaPuls WL61 is in the sludge receiving station. Sewage sludge from small decentralised sewage treatment plants, or sewer cleaning operations, is delivered in special vehicles. It is collected in a receiving tank and then transferred to the main sewage treatment plant for processing. The sensor is installed in the receiving tank to ensure the product being transferred does not exceed the optimal capacity of the tank.
Level measurement in a sewer network
The VegaPuls WL61 can be applied to level measurement in a sewer network. Wastewater from households and industrial operations is carried through a sewerage system to the clarification plant. In large sewer systems, the water levels are monitored by instruments installed at key points in the network.
The advantage of using radar level technology in the wastewater industry is because the instrument is non-contact, meaning it does not come into contact with the product. The VegaPuls WL61 is an economical solution because of its versatile and simple mounting options and in addition the flood-proof IP68 housing ensures maintenance-free operation.
Meeting the challenges of tank obstructions interfering with radar
Level Measurement & Control
One of the most challenging applications for non-contacting radar level transmitters is measuring level in tanks with internal obstructions, such as agitators, heating coils, pipes, ladders or baffles. Rosemount non-contacting radar level transmitters from Emerson feature an advanced solution that enables accurate and reliable level measurements in tanks with obstructions.
