By using the magic of metrology to provide reliable detection points for fluids in holding tanks, accurate level measurements help your facility maintain consistent product quality, plant safety, and economic efficiency.
System Efficiency through Level Measurement
Pipelines, reservoirs, water treatment facilities, and other water processing plants rely on level measurement systems to keep systems running efficiently.
Level measurement operates via a few common applications that offer simplified, automated processes, helping water treatment facilities run more smoothly and allowing managers to better foresee potential issues. Common level measuring applications include:
- Pump control in wet wells and sumps
- Chemical tank inventory
- Stream level monitoring
- Sea level monitoring and tsunami warnings
- Process monitoring of basins and sludge holding tanks
- Process level controls and alarms
- Remote monitoring
- Canal, pond, reservoir, and pipe monitoring
Benefits for the Water and Wastewater Industry
Conscientious level measurement practices can dramatically increase efficiency in water treatment facilities. By employing the latest sensors, transducers, and transmitters, facilities improve reporting accuracy with greater range, enhance functionality with increased reliability, and lower costs with more affordable, longer lasting components.
Level measurement applications work in the most unforgiving operating environments and provide non-contact, maintenance-free measurement with the touch of a button. Successful installation helps maintain plant safety with precise digital monitoring and faster alerts.
The most common level measurement products utilized in water and wastewater facilities include:
- Radar level measurement
- Hydrostatic level measurement
- Radiometric level measurement
- Ultrasonic level measurement
Metrology for Today’s Success and Tomorrow’s Innovations
Industrial measurement process automation will lead to a more robust water and wastewater industry. As metrology equipment grows more intelligent each year, it supports new industries in reaching higher levels of productivity, flexibility, and value. Effective implementation of these tools leads to continued success and opens the door for future improvement.
