Water Plant Vault Lift Station Radar Level Measurement

When a West Coast water treatment plant needed reliable level measurement of their stormwater intake vault, they turned to Flowline. Stormwater first enters the plant in a deep rectangular vault with three pumps that transfer the water into the treatment process. During peak inflow, the vault is agitated and often has surface foam. The plant operator said that a previous ultrasonic level sensor became unstable whenever foam migrated under the sensor, and a stand-pipe installation was not desirable due to depth and turbulence. For this reason, Flowline suggested our LR10 radar sensor that’s unaffected by turbulence, foam or mist. The radar sensor provides reliable level data to the SCADA which monitors the vault and triplex controls the pumps. Flowline is reliable level measurement.
